Chance the Rapper became a father to another baby girl, Marli, just last week, in an Instagram post by his wife Kirsten Bennett. Then, on Monday, Chance, also took to social media, announcing the postponement of his tour.
“I thought it over for the past week and I’ve decided to push back my tour. This year has been one of the greatest of my life; marriage, a new baby, first album, etc.,” he said.
"When Kensli was born, I went on tour 2 weeks later and missed some of the most important milestones in her life, but more importantly I was absent when her mother needed me the most. At this point as a husband and father of two I realize that I can't make that mistake again," he wrote.
The rapper, 36, is dad to 4-year-old Kensli.
Chance's "The Big Day" tour was scheduled to kick off September 14 in San Francisco, hitting 34 cities. Now, the tour will kick off January 15, though the Chicago show and his festival commitments are still on.
