Chance the Rapper Is Expecting a Baby

Look out, world—Chance the Rapper is going to be a father. The 22-year-old Chicago MC let the world know that he is expecting a baby through an Instagram post, in which he places his hand on his pregnant girlfriend’s stomach. The caption? “Coming soon.”

According to Billboard, Chance has been dating the soon-to-be mother of his child since the release of Acid Rap back in 2013.

Thanks for all the kind words, I'm excited too 😁

Chance hinted at this new development in his life at last weekend’s Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago, when he told the crowd, “I’m growing up”—now it seems like we have a pretty good idea what he was referring to.

“Chance is very happy and excited about his new life journey,” said his manager, Pat Corcoran.
