Chance the Rapper has found a new way to honor the Obamas.
The Chicago rapper posted pictures Thursday of himself wearing designer JoeFreshgoods’ new Obama-themed clothing line ThankUObama.
"With this project I wanted to timestamp a period in my life where I felt like I can do whatever I wanted to do and be whatever I wanted to be. The night Obama won his first term gave me so much hope, especially and most importantly as a black man. I decided to make a collection saying ‘thank you’ and give me something to smile at every now and then when I look in the closet," the Chicago designer wrote on his site.
The line includes a "44" jersey to denote Obama is the 44th president ($150); a "Malia" T-shirt that references her attendance at Lollapalooza last summer ($35); and a long-sleeved shirt that features the Obamas’ wedding date ($50).
Chance the Rapper’s father, Ken Bennett, served as a deputy assistant to Obama. Chance attended Obama’s final State Dinner, performed at the annual White House tree lighting ceremony and recently honored Obama on "Saturday Night Live."
