In an eight-tweet apology Chance wrote, "I want to formally apologize to Dr Dre, and all of Aftermath for publicly disrespecting their hard work and contributions to music."

He went on, "I made the mistake of including Imprints which not only dulled my overall point of trying to uplift artist...But also singled out artist-owned ventures that have only worked to progress the culture. Dre is a premier example of creating space for wealth and ownership in an industry designed for creatives to be the foot soldiers. His work with Beats, Compton Schools and artist like Kendrick, Game, Eminem, .Paak, 50 NWA and others is unmatched and how i inspire to be."

Also likely going on here: It looks like Chance realized a little too late that like him, Dre has a big (as in billions) connection to Apple with Beats by Dre. Chance also has an Apple Music deal, reportedly worth $500,000.

It's hard to take on the music industry while simultaneously benefiting from the very system you're bashing.
