Chance the Rapper won’t be seen for a while, given that he is taking a sabbatical to study the Bible and get closer to God. 

“I’m on a plane headed out of the country … I’m going away to learn the Word of God which I am admittedly very unfamiliar with,” he captioned a video on Instagram. 

Chance explained he plans to study the Bible in full, and will be starting off with the first “five or more” books. He also hopes to pass along knowledge to the next generation of men in his family. Oh, and he’ll also quit smoking during this time. 

Since the announcement, the rapper has been posting passages from the Bible and images of his daughter at what appears to be a secluded sanctuary.

God Bless!
