Popular American artiste Chance the Rapper hopes the second staging of his Black Star Line Festival will be held in Jamaica.
The next staging is scheduled for January 2024.
The rapper made the disclosure on Monday night during an interview on The Tonight Show, hosted by Jimmy Fallon.
“We’re actually thinking about hosting the next one in Kingston, Jamaica,” Chance said of the Black Star Line fest.
The Black Star Line Festival, co-promoted by Vic Mensa, was inspired by civil rights leader Marcus Garvey’s Black Star Line, founded in 1919 and operated by Black people who helped link global shipping and tourism opportunities between America, the Caribbean, and Africa.
More than 52,000 people are said to have attended the first festival, which took place in Ghana in January.
Among the performers on the lineup were Erykah Badu, Dave Chappelle, T-Pain, Jeremih, Sarkodie, Tobe Nwigwe, Asakaa Boys, and M.anifest.
Chance the Rapper is also set to join season 23 of The Voice, for which he is the newest coach, and will also release his new album, Star Line Gallery later this year.
Among the rapper’s hit songs are Angles, No Problem, I Might Need Security, Confident featuring Justin Bieber, and Best Life featuring Cardi B.
To date, Chance the Rapper has sold more than 10 million singles in North America.
