The rapper took to his Twitter account on Tuesday morning to comment on a tweet promoting an article with a headline that read: “In Wake of Weinstein, Men Wonder If Hugging Women Still OK.” Chance succinctly captioned his response to men who want to push unsolicited hugs on women: “Gross. Don’t.” > [](https://twitter.com/chancetherapper/status/938086267576778752) Chance later doubled down on his advice that men keep their creepy advances to themselves when a Twitter user named Joey challenged him on the topic, going so far as to tell Joey that he should “keep it all to yourself.” > [](https://twitter.com/chancetherapper/status/938088237695987714) In short: Men, don’t give women unwanted hugs. And if you’re looking to beef with someone on Twitter, don’t come for Chance the Rapper. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5052335/chance-the-rapper-on-gross-men/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5052335/chance-the-rapper-on-gross-men/"},"headline":"Chance the Rapper Would Like 'Gross' Men to Stop Forcing Unwanted Hugs on Women","datePublished":"2017-12-06T18:39:51.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:49:08.136Z","description":"\"Keep it all to yourself\"","url":"https://time.com/5052335/chance-the-rapper-on-gross-men/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","Music","viral","chance the rapper"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7cb370f9251fcfb2/6988bd52a988ca8cc96bb443/michelle-obama-chance-the-rapper-donation.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7cb370f9251fcfb2/6988bd52a988ca8cc96bb443/michelle-obama-chance-the-rapper-donation.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Chance The Rapper Holds A Press Conference In Support Of Chicago Schools","caption":"Chance The Rapper holds a press conference and donates $1 Million Dollars to the Chicago Public School Foundation at Westcott Elementary School on March 6, 2017 in Chicago, Ill.","creditText":"Timothy Hiatt—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5052335/chance-the-rapper-on-gross-men/","name":"Chance the Rapper Would Like 'Gross' Men to Stop Forcing Unwanted Hugs on Women"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"How Chance the Rapper, a 24-Year-Old With No Record Label, Became the Youngest Person on Fortune's 40 Under 40 list","description":"Chance the Rapper is the youngest person on Fortune's 40 Under 40 list.
