Chance The Rapper recently caused a lot of conversation when a video surfaced of him dancing with another woman at a Jamaican festival. Not only that, but people seemed most taken aback by the suggestive nature of their moves, as the woman grinded on him. Of course, every couple will handle those situations differently, but that didn't stop people from giving their two cents. However, after that video went viral and prompted debate in the comments sections, the Chicago rapper's wife seemingly responded. Kirsten Corley-Bennett posted a quote from Maya Angelou on Instagram and reposted an inspirational quote on her Instagram story.

"Wherever I go, grace will beat me to it, meet me in it, turn it around, and make it a miracle," the IG Story read. Before that came a screenshot post of the Angelou quote, and she wrote "I hope one day, we all choose to grow up" as the caption. "Oh my God, I've lived a very simple life!" the paragraph begins. "You can say, Oh yes, at thirteen this happened to me and at fourteen... But those are facts. But the facts can obscure the truth, what it really felt like. Every human being has paid the earth to grow up."

Moreover, she highlighted this next part of the text, which is what is really making people connect it to the video. "Most people don't grow up. It's too damn difficult. What happens is most people get older. That's the truth of it. They honor their credit cards, they find parking spaces, they marry, the have the nerve to have children, but they don't grow up. Not really. They get older. But to grow up costs the earth, the earth. It manes 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.

"What it costs, in truth," the messages concluded. "Not superficial costs- anybody can have that- I mean in truth." Given that this quote could be interpreted many different ways, perhaps this isn't the bombshell response that many expected. Still, from what we can gather, maybe people looking for that have some growing up to do, as well. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Chance The Rapper.
