Last week, Lee screened Chi-Raq in Evanston, Il, and once again took a swipe at Chance. According to XXL, he said “Chance The Rapper’s a fraud. Straight-up fraud. He puts himself up as a speaker of the people, but that means you have to put truths that you see. That doesn’t mean you can pick and choose what you talk about.”
