Chance the Rapper has been making headlines lately as fans speculate about his marriage to his wife, Kirsten Corley. However, representatives of the “No Problem” artist have addressed the rumors and set the record straight. They claim that amid rumors of infidelity, the couple is doing well. “Everybody has their moments, but it’s all good,” the representative said TMZ.
Rumors began swirling about his potential marriage issue when the “Coloring Book” rapper celebrated his 30th birthday in Jamaica during Carnival 2023 and was spotted dancing provocatively with model Mela Millz.
In the videoChance, who was shirtless in just a #3 hat and a pair of tie-dye shorts, could be seen playfully slapping Millz, wearing a traditional Carnival costume, on the back several times as he danced on top of her.

Although this type of dance is common during Carnival in the Caribbean, some fans were concerned that Chance’s actions were inappropriate, given that he is a married man and a father of two.
Others defended the Rapper, arguing that his behavior was harmless and just part of the Carnival atmosphere. A fan tweeted, “This is not appropriate unless he and his wife are talking & he does not want her to be present. If you attend, you will probably dance & have fun. That’s what the show is all about.”
However, Corley seemed to have concerns about the incident as she posted a quote from Maya Angelou’s essay “Home,” which discusses the challenges of maturity, on her Instagram page a few days later.

The quote reads, “Most people don’t grow up. It’s too hard. What happens is that most people get older. That is the truth. They honor their credit cards, find parking, and have the courage to have children but not grow up. Not really. They are getting old.”
The quote concludes, “And you know what it costs us to love and lose, to dare and fail. And maybe more, to succeed.” Corley captioned her cryptic post: “I hope we all choose to grow up one day.”
Chance the Rapper Seems to be Addressing Controversy
In response to the recent controversy surrounding his Carnival dance and his wife’s cryptic Instagram posts, Chance the Rapper appears to have made a statement. After going quiet, the “Holy” rapper took to social media to share a clip from Bill Burr’s 2019 Netflix special “Paper Tiger.” In the clip, Burr talks about marital challenges and how he and his wife deal with their problems.
“I love my wife to death. I love everything about being married, but I will tell you right now that we fight a lot. We argue all the time,” Burr said.
“If I’ve learned anything in five years of marriage, it’s that we always work for me. My wife is a finished work under the glass of a museum that deserves to be admired and studied,” added the comedian.

As the bride and groom walked down the aisle, a string quartet played in the background, as reported by E! News.

The altar and the aisle were decorated with giant bouquets of white flowers, creating a beautiful atmosphere. The couple shares two daughters, Kensli and Marli, who are now 7 and 3 years old.
