In light of Chance The Rapper's recent philanthropy, fans have launched Chano 4 Mayor, a campaign urging the rapper to consider running for mayor. While Chance did muse over the possibility back on the joint "Somewhere In Paradise," the rapper has been more politically active of late, turning talk into action. For example, in the past month he has met with the Governor of Illinois, donated 1 million dollars to Chi-Town public schools, and opened the Chance Art And Literature Fund.

What started as a fan movement seems to have gained some momentum, as superstar Drake has officially weighed in on the matter. TMZ captures the exchange below. When asked in the middle of a seizure-inducing camera fest if Chance would make a good mayor, Drake responded with a confident "yeah, I do."
