After taking some time for paternity leave and welcoming his newborn baby daughter to the world, Chance The Rapper is officially ready to hit the road for The Big Day tour. While the Chicago-based artist was originally going to start his tour September 14, he announced just days before he would be pushing it back. With his newborn daughter making him a two-time dad, he wanted to make the effort to be more present this time around, than he did with his first born which he expressed in a post on Instagram.

“When Kensli was born, I went on tour 2 weeks later and missed some of the most important milestones in her life, but more importantly I was absent when her mother needed me the most. At this point as a husband and father of two I realize that I can’t make that mistake again. I need to be as helpful and available as possible to my wife in these early months of raising Kensli and Marli. I apologize because I know how many people were counting on seeing me soon, but I hope you’ll understand and forgive me in time,” said Chance on Instagram. After Chance made his big announcement, his friends, family, and fans admirably understood and received a lot of positive feedback.
