Chicago’s crowned prince Chance the Rapper has announced plans to ring in his 24th birthday this weekend with an event appropriately dubbed “Chance the Birthday.”
What we know so far: it’s happening at Studio Paris on April 16, with all proceeds going to his Social Works charity. There are promises of “special guests,” but other than that, everything has been left to our imagination. If it’s anything like the “Super Sweet Sixteen”-level festivities we’re picturing, it’ll definitely be a memorable way to spend Easter Sunday. Tickets are available at Studio Paris here, with general admission tickets at $100 and VIP tables between $2,000-2,500. Known for popping up around town when you least expect it, we can only hope he’ll make an appearance.

Lil Chano from 79th has had a busy year, including winning historic Grammy Awards, an upcoming tour which includes hitting all of the nation’s most popular music festivals, and most recently, his top-secret Magnificent Coloring World 2 show. The event took place in Chicago this past weekend, with rumors percolating the experience will premiere on Netflix. The rapper and those lucky enough to get tickets have been keeping quiet on exactly what happened, in true Fight Club fashion, which means we’re probably in for a treat.
When he’s not blowing our minds with his musical talents or hiring interns, Chance is giving back to the community. He recently made headlines by donating a million dollars to aid Chicago Public Schools, aiming to revitalize arts programs and bring relief to the most underfunded schools in the city. Many Chicago organizations, like the Chicago Bulls, have followed suit in pledging to the fund. As a parent to a daughter himself, it would certainly give him no better joy than for the next generation to grow up with more, well, chances.
If there’s anyone that deserves a great birthday, it’s Chance. Happy birthday!
