Spike Lee's new Chicago set movie Chi-Raq premiered earlier this week. In New York City.
As part of the festivities, Spike Lee (along with Al Sharpton) led a rally against gun violence.
This didn't sit well with Chance The Rapper, who became the latest Chicagoan to express his annoyance with how Lee is portraying his city and promoting his movie.
Let me be the one from Chicago to personally tell you we not supporting this film out here

That shit get ZERO love out here. Shit is goofy and it's a bunch of ppl from NOT around here telling u to support that shit — Chance The Rapper (@chancetherapper) December 4, 2015
The people that made that shit didn't do so to "Save Lives". It's exploitive and problematic

Also the idea that women abstaining from sex would stop murders is offensive and a slap in the face to any mother that lost a child here — Chance The Rapper (@chancetherapper) December 4, 2015
You don't do any work with the children of Chicago, You don't live here, you've never watched someone die here. Don't tell me to be calm
