The only problem is that, in the middle of his speech, Chance The Rapper compared Beyonce to Michael Jackson! His comparison will surely raise eyebrows with music purists.

Beyonce is great, but she is NOT Michael Jackson or better than him. She stands in her own lane just like Madonna, Elton John, Lady Gaga, Aretha Franklin, Whitney and so on.
