[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.
