Chance the Rapper on Kanye: 'I've always wanted to have his boldness'

Chance the Rapper has revealed that while he aspires to be like Kanye West as a music artist, he doesn't want to develop a similar personality to the star. 

He told GQ magazine that he admires Kanye's "boldness" and self-confidence, but doesn't want to be a copy of him:

"I don't think I ever wanted to be like Kanye in personality, though. I think I definitely want to, have always wanted to, have his boldness or assurance in myself. But I've definitely seen Kanye do things where I was like, 'I'd never do that.' I've always been able to defend Kanye. When everybody's like, 'Kanye's a nut, Kanye's a nut,' I'm one of those guys saying, 'No, he's saying some real s**t.'"

Chance went onto add that he likes that Kanye is authentic and unafraid to speak his mind: "Being around Kanye, Kanye says crazier s**t in private than he does in public, which is hard to believe because he says the craziest things in public. He does have a filter. He's not a liar or somebody that is going to sugarcoat things when he does speak."
