Chance The Rapper Says He Wants To Collaborate With Peppa Pig

by

Chance The Rapper says that he’d be interested in collaborating with Peppa Pig and Baby Shark. The Chicago rapper discussed his kids’ love for the cartoon characters during a recent appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers. Chance appeared on the show to promote the 10th anniversary of his iconic mixtape, Acid Rap.

“Yeah, they do like my music,” Chance said when asked about his two daughters. “They’re more into like, Peppa Pig, and their contemporaries. But like, I have a few songs that they’ll listen to. They like a song called ‘Let’s Go on the Run’ a lot.”

Chance added that he would be willing to work with Peppa Pig. “Out of my own desperation, I’d do a collaboration with Peppa. Like Peppa, if you’re listening right now, like I’m trying to work, or at least get some autographs for my kids. Shout out to Peppa Pig!” he said. “And the Baby Shark also! I would in a heartbeat.” Chance previously appeared on Sesame Street back in 2019 alongside Cookie Monster and Elmo.

The interview comes as Chance prepares to perform several concerts in celebration of the 10th anniversary of Acid Rap. He’ll be performing in Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York City at various times throughout the year. Speaking with Complex ahead of the announcement, Chance admitted that he would have died had he continued using drugs the way he was at the time he made the mixtape. “I probably would have died,” Chance told the publication. “Definitely, the way that I was living at that time. I had everything in excess. Right after I dropped the project, I went on a few tours where I really didn’t make any money. But then I went on my first tour, my headlining tour, where I made some money.”

Kanye West Gets Roasted By Peppa Pig On Twitter Over Receiving A Lower Review Score On His Album

Alright, enough is enough. Things were bad enough when Peppa Pig sparked a beef with Cardi B over encouraging Kulture to splash in puddles and it was pretty amusing to see Iggy Azalea square off with the British porker over their shared album release date a couple of years ago, but Peppa is turning into an outright menace lately. The porcine TV star has apparently chosen the next target for her ongoing antagonism of the hip-hop world, marking Kanye West for a vicious burn over the reception of their respective albums on Pitchfork.

In his review of Kanye’s new album Donda, Pitchfork’s Dylan Green called the album a “data dump of songs searching for a higher calling,” awarding it an “above average” 6.0 rating (out of 10). Meanwhile, earlier this summer the publication also tapped Peyton Thomas to review Peppa’s Adventures: The Album, resulting in a 6.5 score, which many on Twitter noted after the Donda review’s publication — including the people or person behind Peppa Pig’s official Twitter account. Taking a second to gloat over the .5-point win, Peppa tweeted, “Peppa didn’t need to host listening parties in Mercedes-Benz Stadium to get that .5,” juxtaposing screenshots of the two scores side-by-side.

And while the tweet has since been deleted, it’s almost been immortalized by screenshots like the one above. It’s kind of amusing to think that a team of children’s television writers were able to put together a better release than a self-proclaimed genius who heralded his work with elaborate listening events and even rented out living space in the venues where he held them while “finishing” the album. For what it’s worth, Kanye claims that the version of the album that came out was released by his label without his permission, but on the other hand, we can’t see how much it could be improved — and it is pretty similar to what he played at the aforementioned listening events.

Fans have been pretty amused by the joust, especially as it draws some attention away from his long-overdrawn feud with Drake ahead of the Certified Lover Boy release this week. Now, if Drake gets a higher score too (or takes shots as Peppa has), it could be bad news for anyone exhausted with their juvenile sniping, as Kanye’s manager vowed to end the duel of wits only if Drake remains mum on the subject of Kanye — which seems pretty much impossible at this point. Check out some fans’ responses below.
