Chance the Rapper, who is popular for his work as a rapper and singer, has always been spotted wearing a hat with the number 3. While people have gotten used to seeing it, his fans have always tried to find out the reason behind the same.

While speaking to GQ in 2017, Chance said that he had a habit of wearing hats ever since he was in high school but they were always taken away. He added:

"It was an excessive amount. Like, so often that at the end of each school year, there would be a box of all the confiscated caps. After they gave back a few caps to other kids, they would just give me the box because the rest were all my hats. So I think, in one part, it's a rebellion."

Speaking about the number 3 on his hats, Chance said that the number represents his family, which consists of three members. He stated:

"I've rationalized it to myself that it stands for the third mixtape, the holy trinity, and the three-pronged family of myself, my daughter, and my girl."

Chance is currently married to Kisten Corley. The duo tied the knot in 2019 after becoming parents of a daughter, Kensli, in 2015. They welcomed another daughter, Marli, in September 2019.

In an interview with Today earlier this month, Chance said that the plans for the new album started when he traveled to Ghana in 2022 and met some of the best visual artists. He said that he was able to connect with some of the best artists in Jamaica. He added:

"I think typically, as recording artists, we like make a bunch of songs, like 12 to 16 songs, and we find one artist to collaborate with to make a piece that represents the whole album, and with this it gives me a better opportunity to give each song their own identity, but also be inspired by the artists from the inception of the idea."

Chance's debut album, The Big Day, was released in 2019 and reached the second spot on the US Billboard 200.
