During a recent performance, the iconic Anita Baker thanked Chance the Rapper for helping her to acquire her masters.
In a video shared on social media, Baker gave a nod to the Chicago emcee – who was also in attendance – praising him for assisting her with such a monumental task.
“You should say hello to a friend of mine by way of the music industry and by way of helping me, helping me to get a hold and ownership of my master recordings,” Baker said while pointing to Chance, who stood up as the crowd applauded.

— Chance The Rapper (@chancetherapper) May 29, 2022This news comes almost nine months after Baker revealed that she had regained control of her masters, which included a photo of her first five albums.
Chance has also had a career resurgence in recent months, dropping “Child of God” earlier this year, as well as releasing “Wraith,” and “A Bar About A Bar.” With Baker acquiring her masters, and Chance sharing new music once again, fans may have a lot to look forward to in the coming months.
