Is Chance the Rapper okay? 'The Voice' fans show concern as NBC coach returns to live taping after divorce
UNIVERSAL CITY, CALIFORNIA: After five years of marriage, Chance the Rapper and his wife, Kirsten Corley, recently revealed their desire to get a divorce. 'The Voice' coach returned on May 6 for the live recording, and fans are now worried about his well-being.
There's no pressure or anything, but as the program moves into its last (and most contentious) phase—the Live Shows—the future of The Voice's Season 25 artists now rests with the fans, which includes you, dear reader. At this point, the coaches' only options are to hope and pray that their deliberate decisions made throughout the musical competition will result in the team's eventual triumph.
Soon after the Monday episode, one viewer took to Reddit to ask fellow fans, "Chance too chill?"
The user further added, "Does Chance ever get excited? I feel like he is way too chill! Serenity just crushed it and it was like “yea you did great, it’s live tv good job”… it is weird!"
Fans under the thread also commented, "He's going through a recent divorce. People are saying he "doesn't care" or whatever but he's pretty clearly not fully in it mentally."
Another user chimed in, "I think his demeanor and attitude has to do with the divorce as it only happened about a month ago."
Some users also argued, "He was so fun in Season 23! I don’t know if the show is holding him back; he He just does not seem like he wants to be there at all. One thing that is different is there is no chemistry between the judges. They are all pretty boring. ! I have also heard that talent is mediocre at best. And that he may have some personal issues. But i have never seen a coach change so much in a year."
This is also making some fans claim, "Ya I don’t like Chance on the show."
Why did 'The Voice' coach Chance the Rapper split from Kirsten Corley?
On April 3, the couple, who have two children, Kensli, and Maril, posted a joint statement on their individual social media platforms, expressing their peaceful separation, and thanks for the time they spent together. Despite their separation, they stated that they would continue to co-parent their children.
“After a period of separation, the two of us have arrived at the decision to part ways,” the statement read. “We came to this decision amicably and with gratitude for the time we spent together. God has blessed us with two beautiful daughters who we will continue to raise together.”
'The Voice' judge Chance the Rapper dropped a new single following divorce
Chance returns with a new track. On April 24, 'The Voice' coach released the single 'Buried Alive', his first project since his 2019 album 'The Big Day'.
'Buried Alive' has Motown-inspired strings and gospel backup singers, and Chance's voice becomes increasingly passionate throughout the song. Two days later, he released a music and lyrics video for 'Buried Alive', in which he breaks out of a container aboard a spacecraft.
The complicated lyrics of 'Buried Alive' reveal Chance's emotional processing of personal events as he tackles his detractors. He even mentioned his recent divorce announcement and professional path, while also using Bible allusions, which is a typical habit in his songs to honor his Christian beliefs.
'Buried Alive' is a probable single from Chance's next mixtape, 'Star Line'.
When will 'The Voice' Season 25 finale air?
It all culminates in the two-part Season 25 finale, which will announce 'The Voice's winner on May 20 and 21. So, if you're a huge Voice fan and want to keep up with every new episode for the rest of the season, mark your calendars today!
