Chance the Rapper Reveals His Involvement in ‘The Lion King’ Remake

Fans of Chance the Rapper are in for a surprise when they go see The Lion King. The Coloring Book artist hit the worldwide premiere of the film in Los Angeles on Tuesday Night and revealed that he has a role in the film.

Chano shared images of him, with his wife and daughter, for the premiere of the film and shared an anecdote of how big of a fan he is to the original and how he got involved.

“So when my big bro Donald got casted as Simba, he did the coolest thing ever and told director Jon Favreau to call me in as a consultant to keep the original flavor,” Chance wrote. “So for about a year I would go to the LK studio and see early animations, scenes, music direction or assemblies and they’d always be out of this world amazing. One day I’m there Jon asked me to do some singing stuff, another day he asks me to do some lines. Its all a blur, but I’ll tell u its one of the best blurs of my whole life.”

Here’s a short story. I grew up my whole life obsessed with all things related to #TheLionKing; like all three films, the Timon and Pumbaa tv show, the broadway play and especially the broadway soundtrack. Needless to say the original film was immensely impactful on my music and overall life.

I am so blessed to know people like Donald and Jon man. AMAZING FILM, AMAZING CAST AND AN AMAZING NIGGHT LAST NIGHT. GOD BLESS AND LONG LIVE THE KING
