Anita Baker Thanks Chance the Rapper For Helping Her Regain Ownership of Her Masters
Anita Baker gave Chance the Rapper a huge shoutout during her sold-out limited show residency at the Venetian Theatre in Las Vegas on Sunday night (May 29) where she said the Coloring Book rhymer helped her regain control of her master recordings.
âWould you guys say hello to a friend of mine by way of the music industry, by way of helping me get a hold and ownership of my master records, Mister Chance The Rapper is right there,â Baker said as the audience applauded the icon.
Chance responded to the video appreciating the public shoutout, âI saw one of THE greatest performances of my LIFETIME last night! Thank you so much @IAMANITABAKER for being an inspiration and an icon to so many of US.â
