Chance The Rapper, who has been married to Kirsten Corley since 2019, has come under fire after videos of him dancing intimately with other women surfaced online. Chance celebrated his 30th birthday on Sunday, April 16 at the annual carnival in Jamaica. However, many fans are questioning his behavior, as several clips of him dancing with women during the birthday celebrations appeared on the internet.

In some of the clips, the rapper was seen being held up by his entourage as he danced behind Mela Mizz, a Trinidadian social media influencer. Chance also playfully slapped her backside a couple of times during the dance.

While Chance The Rapper apparently had a great time during his birthday celebrations at the Jamaica Carnival, he was called out by the internet for apparently cheating on his wife, Kirsten, by indulging in what they are calling vulgar dance moves. A few also wondered if things were okay between the two since the rapper did not celebrate his birthday with his wife.

Twitter went wild with questions about Chance possibly cheating on his wife as clips from his birthday celebration revealed a few women twerking on him at the Jamaican carnival. While some netizens wondered if his wife would approve of this behavior, others even assumed that it might be indicative of a divorce.

Even though some people tried to reason that the moves were a part of Caribbean culture, many disapproved of it and said that no married person should dance with other people like this. They called this behavior inappropriate and disrespectful.

However, several netizens explained that dancing provocatively is not frowned upon or considered cheating in Caribbean culture. Some even argued and asked others not to bring the European culture of carnivals and dancing into the Caribbean scene, as both are differently perceived.

A few people also speculated that maybe Chance got his wife's consent to dance like this in the carnival or maybe they both had an understanding between them, and Kirsten Corley was okay with her husband dancing like this in public.

Meanwhile, others also chimed in and asked everyone to leave the rapper alone and let him have fun. They claimed that as long as Chance was not taking the dancers home and actually cheating on his wife, it was good. Fans criticized people who accused Chance of infidelity and said that they did not have much knowledge about different cultures.

A few others explained that dancing like this is normal at Jamaican carnivals, and slapping someone's buttocks isn't perceived as a s**ual move among them.
