Chance The Rapper and The Weeknd will both grace GQ Magazine’s February 2017 issue with their own separate covers. Speaking to GQ in the double cover issue, Chance The Rapper spoke of his mentor Kanye West and some of the qualities he loved about his Chi-town homey.
“I don’t think I ever wanted to be like Kanye in personality… I think I definitely want to, have always wanted to, have his boldness or assurance in myself. But I’ve definitely seen Kanye do things where I was like, ‘I’d never do that’ I’ve always been able to defend Kanye… Like when he went onstage with Taylor, I was like…well…Beyoncé kind of deserved that. I’m rationalizing everything that he does, but I can’t say that in the same position I would do the same things… I always wanted to be more a person that people enjoy. Somebody that will make you laugh. I’m talking about just my personality, not necessarily how my music sounds. Because I believe I’m a disrupter like Kanye in a lot of ways.”
The Weeknd also took back the #1 spot on the Billboard 200 with his latest album Starboy. The February issue of GQ hits newstands nationwide on January 24. Peep th covers below.
