Damnit, Chance.
Chance the Rapper's long been k**wn as a rap ico**clast, with a persona largely centered around humility. He's a rapper with a bashful embrace of fame, but bars he can't help being famous for.

Of course, that pivot also involved layoffs of some of its most celebrated writers and editors. It was a thoroughly reported, well-sourced deep dive into the motivations behind the move, and it produced a number of fascinating tidbits behind the struggles MTV News faced covering the subjects it was often otherwise promoting.
