In 2017, Chance the Rapper’s little brother, Chicago-based rapper Taylor Bennett, revealed that he is bisexual the day before his 21st birthday on Twitter.
“My birthday is tomorrow & moving into next year I’d like to be more open about myself to help others that struggle with the same issues,” Bennett wrote. “Growing up I’ve always felt indifferent about my sexuality & being attracted 2 one sex & today I would like to openly come out to my fans. I do recognize myself as a bisexual male & do & have always openly supported the gay community & will keep doing so in 2017. #ThankYou.”
Chance applauded the move, posting, “He’s got God and me behind him.”
In a new interview scheduled to air on Thursday, May 19th at 5PM PST on FOX SOUL, Bennett sits down with Hollywood Unlocked’s Jason Lee to discuss how he found his courage to come out and work to help homeless LGBTQIA+ youth.

Pardon my ignorance, but WHO is this?
MISTERJETT
can’t you read? it says who he is in the first sentence of the first paragraph: “Chance the Rapper’s little brother, Chicago-based rapper Taylor Bennett”. people are always so quick to say “i don’t know who he is” trying to diminish someone ‘s existence. instead of doing that, why not try googling them so you can find out exactly who the person is. you might find that the person is worth knowing about and makes you a little less ignorant

Isn’t Jason Lee erasing Taylor’s bisexuality by saying both are “gay men”? Glad to have Taylor in the LGBTQIA+ family however he identifies, though. He’s talented and were he not Chance the Rapper’s brother he might be a better known figure in his own right. He’s cuter than Chance too.
