Recording artist Chance the Rapper gives a $1 million donation to Chicago Public Schools._  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Jun 22, 2017 5:18 PM UTC  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Jun 22, 2017 5:18 PM UTC It’s human to make a misstep even for human ray of sunshine [Chance the Rapper](http://time.com/4807977/chance-the-rapper-tiny-desk/), who took to Twitter on Thursday to clear the air around visuals that mocked a number of record companies during his [“Be Encouraged” tour.](http://www.hotnewhiphop.com/chance-the-rapper-announces-be-encouraged-tour-with-king-louie-and-dj-oreo-news.31538.html) “I want to formally apologize to Dr. Dre and all of Aftermath for publicly disrespecting their hard work and contributions to music,” he wrote at the start of his eight-tweet thread. Grammy-winning artist [Dr. Dre](http://time.com/136578/inside-the-beats-empire/) is one of the most iconic rappers of the 90s. He has experienced more recent success as the mastermind of the [Beats empire](http://entertainment.time.com/2014/01/17/exclusive-dr-dre-and-jimmy-iovine-talk-beats-music/), now [owned by Apple](http://time.com/3070136/beats-now-part-of-the-apple-family/). Aftermath is the label that he founded in the mid-1990s; it’s now a subsidiary of [Universal Music Group.](http://www.universalmusic.com/label/interscope-geffen-am/aftermath/) During his tour, Chance put up visuals of the logos of record labels like [Def Jam](http://time.com/3780916/bring-the-noise-25-years-of-def-jam/), Atlantic, and Epic, all parodied into fake, satirical versions of their names. The joke was a nod to his own [proudly independent status](http://time.com/4659456/chance-the-rapper-what-you-need-to-know/) as an artist, and a jab at the companies that control the lion’s share of the industry. Aftermath was included in that visual — but as Chance noted in his tweets, their story is different, given the label’s history as an artist-founded collective. “Dre is a premier example of creating space for wealth and ownership in an industry designed for creatives to be the foot soldiers,” he continued. “His work with Beats, Compton Schools and artists like Kendrick Lamar, Game, Eminem, .Paak, 50 NWA and others is unmatched and how I inspire to be. I set out to empower and I completely missed the ball and I know that now.” Read his full apology and examples of the controversial visuals below. > [](https://twitter.com/chancetherapper/status/877917211200860160) > [](https://twitter.com/chancetherapper/status/877917362758062084) > [](https://twitter.com/chancetherapper/status/877917539300409350) > [](https://twitter.com/chancetherapper/status/877917668002680834) > [](https://twitter.com/chancetherapper/status/877917982692954112) > [](https://twitter.com/chancetherapper/status/877918401590575104) > [](https://twitter.com/chancetherapper/status/877918660563804160) > [](https://twitter.com/chancetherapper/status/877918747154984961) > [](https://twitter.com/RESPECTMAG/status/856996038418288641) ## Transcript [00:00] This cheque that I donated is a call to action. [00:03] [ BLANK_AUDIO ] [00:06] I'm challenging major companies and corporations in [00:10] Chicago and all across the US To donate and to take [00:13] action, the CPS students have spoken recently [00:18] at one of our open mics. And [00:22] would like corporations to invest in them, as we've [00:25] invested in their businesses. So I will be donating [00:28] $ 10, 000 to different Chicago public high schools and [00:31] elementary schools Ten of them, to be exact, you all [00:35] know math. [ BLANK AUDIO ] Starting with [00:39] Westcott Elementary and their principal.
