During Season 23 of The Voice, the coaches welcomed Chance The Rapper to their panel, and given his positive attitude and willingness to help his team, he instantly garnered love and respect from fans and the contestants. The positive reactions from fans turned into an opportunity as the series announced he would return for Season 25, scheduled to premiere in spring 2024. But it seems that fans won’t have to wait till spring as Chance will appear during the live shows to help mentor the Top 12 as they compete to land a spot in the final five.
Back when Chance first joined The Voice, he shared his excitement, explaining his motivation. “I wanted to be a Coach on The Voice because I like giving platforms to young Artists, especially people who are already seasoned in their trade and know what they’re doing but just need the right spotlight. I wanted to be a part of the process.”
