Fans are calling out Chance the Rapper, who is married with two children, for dancing “inappropriately” with another woman while attending Carnival 2023 in Jamaica.
Model Mela Millz posted a video on Instagram Monday of herself grinding on the “No Problem” performer as he leaned back and slapped her butt.
Chance was shirtless, wearing just a pair of tie-dye shorts and his signature “3” hat, while Millz was scantily dressed in traditional Carnival garb.
The video received mixed reactions, with some social media users accusing the “Voice” coach of being unfaithful to his wife, Kirsten Corley, while others argued that he was simply enjoying his 30th birthday, which was Sunday, during his trip to the island.
“He has no class,” one Twitter user wrote.

Many netizens, however, pointed out that letting loose at Carnival is a standard element of the cultural celebration and should not be taken so seriously.
“This is definitely not inappropriate unless he and his wife had a conversation & she didn’t want him to attend. If you attend then you may end up dancing & having fun. That’s the point of the event,” a fan tweeted.
These type of festivals (mostly called "CARNIVAL") happen ALL THE TIME worldwide. This is definitely not inappropriate unless he and his wife had a conversation & she didn't want him to attend. If you attend then you may end up dancing & having fun. That's the point of the event.

“Everyone bringing up his wife. Dancing especially at carnival not that deep. You could dance w a stranger and never see em again. Married or not,” a third defender added.

Chance has not publicly addressed the backlash, and his rep did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
Millz, for her part, tweeted Tuesday that haters were “doing too much now.”

She also replied to a user who joked that she is the Grammy-winning rapper’s “outside woman,” writing, “It’ll never be that.”
