Chance The Rapper‘s wife has spoken out after her husband was seen on video grinding on another woman at Jamaica’s Carnival festival, which caused some fans to accuse him of cheating.

The video in question made the rounds earlier this month and shows Chance enjoying himself at the annual Jamaican festival as he dances up on a twerking woman.

While most were supportive of Chance having a good time, some people began accusing the Acid Rap lyricist of cheating on his wife Kirsten Corley-Bennett, whom he’s been married to for over four years.

“Ain’t you married?” one user asked on Twitter, while another wrote: “Chancellor where is yo wifeeee” along with a photo of Will Smith wearing an unimpressed look on his face.

“So is Chance the Rapper still married?? If yes, then bombastic side eye,” wrote another critic.

On Wednesday (April 26), Corley-Bennett took to Instagram and posted what many believed to be a cryptic response to all the criticism, highlighting a quote from Maya Angelou’s Letter to My Daughter that speaks on people refusing to grow up.

“Most people don’t grow up. It’s too damn difficult,” it reads. “What happens is most people get older. That’s the truth of it. They honor their credit cards, they find parking spaces, they marry, they have the nerve to have children, but they don’t grow up. Not really.”

It continues: “They get older. But to grow up costs the earth, the earth. It means you take responsibility for the time you take up, for the space you occupy. It’s serious business. And you find out what it costs us to love and to lose, to dare and to fail. And maybe even more, to succeed.”

Corley-Bennett added in the caption: “I hope one day, we all choose to grow up.”

While it’s unclear if Corley-Bennett was merely showing an appreciation for the late Angelou’s words, the timing is noteworthy due to the scandal, and many were in support of people just letting the situation go.

“Chance the Rapper‘s wife is not going to leave him,” wrote on supporter on Twitter. “And if she does that’s silly. Dancing like that is a part of carnival culture. The only thing that might’ve been out of pocket is the slap on the ass and that’s it.”

Another added: “I am so tired of this ‘discussion’ on Chance the Rapper and his wife. Cuz at this point I’m ready to say, ban all foreigners cuz ya’ll doing and saying the most! Just don’t come to Carnival, simple. Almost two weeks later and folks still up in arms.”

“Bro can’t even grind on half naked women in a foreign country , it’s a evil world we live in man,” another supporter commented on IG after Akademiks re-shared her post.

Chance also had his own share of supporters when the scandal broke, with many reminding critics that Carnival is all about dancing and celebration.

“They’re mad at Chance the Rapper for ‘cheating on his wife,’” tweeted one supporter. “Y’all Don’t bring that European nonsense to this ethnic household and let that man enjoy Caribbean culture.”

“Americans don’t even understand the concept of Carnival,” another added. “Chance The Rapper reveling and all of them saying he’s cheating lol … cultural deficit much.”

Chance The Rapper and Kirsten Corley got married back in 2019 at the Pelican Hill resort in Newport Beach, California. E! News reported at the time that the wedding was attended by 150 family members and friends, along with celebrities such as Dave Chappelle, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian.

Chance’s loving marriage was heavily rapped about on his critically-panned album The Big Day, which HipHopDX awarded a middling 2.3 rating and named it one of the most disappointing albums of 2019.

Chance has yet to respond to the Carnival footage, but Fivio Foreign went through a similar cheating scandal earlier this year when a video showed him dancing up on Asian Doll. Fivio’s girlfriend Jasmine Giselle then called out the Brooklyn rapper on Instagram Live.

“You moving around acting like you single and you’re not,” she said at the time. “That’s your problem. You’re not single.”

In his initial response, Fivio called the world “demonic” because he couldn’t dance with “his friend.”
