[gallery columns="3"]President Barack Obama celebrated his final State Dinner last night and made sure to invite a few of his favorite artists too: Chance The Rapper and Frank Ocean. Both gentlemen also brought along their parents for the historic event. Chance, who’s had a great longstanding relationship with the Obama family, came with his father, Ken Bennett, who once worked closely with Barack Obama when he was a senator in Illinois. “Thanks Dad for raising me right. Look at us all fancy for the White House. I ain’t even wearing a hat tonight #BlackBoyJoy,” Chance tweeted in a photo.

Meanwhile, Frank Ocean pulled up with his lovely mother Katonya Breaux, who was very proud to share this momentous occasion with her son saying in a tweet, “I am so blessed to have a son that includes me in his once in a lifetime events!!! I just hugged our First Lady!!!! #statedinner.”  

Other notables in attendance included Blake Shelton, Jerry Seinfeld, James Taylor and Gwen Stefani. President Obama also released a “Work Out Playlist” yesterday earlier in the day prior to the event, check that out here.
