Chance The Rapper Calls for WhirlyBall Boycott

Until yesterday, Chance the Rapper was a longtime supporter and fan of WhirlyBall. However, the love has come to an abrupt end as Chance has called out the Chicago amusement center over alleged mistreatment by its staff. As documented by Lil Chano’s Twitter account, his last night’s visit involved a disagreement with door staff and security over the venue’s new dress code. Chance writes, “It’s very inaccessible if you’re black or friends with black people.” Read the rest of his tweets, as well as a screenshot of the website’s specific dress code, below.

Crazy how I was just treated at @whirlyball Been coming here for awhile, this new management doesn’t know how to treat customers.

Don’t go to @WhirlyBall it’s very inaccessible if you’re black or friends with black people, they’ve clearly outlined in their dress code

Don’t bother trying to speak with the MGMT @WhirlyBall the new armed security will make sure you can’t, per managements request.

I thought for a sec that just the 1825 w Webster @WhirlyBall in Chicago felt this way but it’s on the website. Sad end to a family place.

This @WhirlyBall Dress Code is OD. 🙄 btw “flashy” is super ambiguous same for “improperly fitted”. pic.twitter.com/iAjtBKxFrl
