Chance has long shown his allegiance to the city Southside team. Known for sporting a White Sox fitted hat in many performances, TV appearances and photo shoots. The White Sox recently acknowledged Chance's support for the team as he introduced the starting line-up for The Chicago Bulls in March (it was of course, #BullsSoxNight) while wearing a White Sox cap. Later in that game, Chance was spotted with White Sox World Series Champ Scott Podsednik.
We're digging the hat, @chancetherapper. 👌#BullsSoxNight pic.twitter.com/Zk0tW8eg4x
