Last night, a pre-recorded video from Michelle Obama
surprised audience members at the BET Awards ceremony in Los Angeles
where she congratulated Chance the Rapper for receiving the network's
prestigious humanitarian award. In
the video, the former First Lady said;
"Chance is showing our young
people that they matter, that they have something inside of them that is
worthy of being expressed, and they have so much to contribute to their
community and our country. I can think of no better legacy to leave,
and I am thrilled to celebrate you here to
tonight and honored to call you my friend.”
Chance
TheRapper received the distinguished honor for his philanthropic
achievements in Chicago, where both he and Mrs. Obama are from.
He
is now the youngest ever recipient of the BET Humanitarian Award. Other
artists to have received the honor include Muhammed Ali, Harry
Belafonte, Alicia Keys and Wyclef Jean.
