Chance The Rapper & Kirsten Corley Announce Divorce

As expected, the news has elicited big responses from fans and critics alike, who are sounding off on Twitter/X. While some wonder who the Chicago MC will rap about now, others think the split could have a positive impact on his future releases. Some are even already demanding a breakup album from Chance, speculating that it could be some of his best work yet.

Of course, social media is also flooded with rumors and theories as to why the pair decided to go their separate ways. Many are looking back on a viral video of Chance getting twerked on by an unnamed woman at Carnival in 2023, while others think the rapper liking explicit content involving a transgender person on Twitter/X is to blame. For now, however, it doesn't look like the exes seem interested in sharing the details.
