Chance the Rapper says he doesn't think Martin Short knew 'who I am' after their viral encounter on a plane

• Chance the Rapper has elaborated on his viral plane encounter with actor Martin Short last month.
• Short gave up his seat to Chance's 7-year-old daughter after realizing they weren't seated together.

Chance the Rapper has said he doesn't think Martin Short knew who he was when the actor gave up his plane seat for his young daughter.

Last month, Chance detailed on Twitter how he bumped into Short on a flight when he offered up his seat for Kensli, 7.

"So I just got on this plane with my daughter, and found out our seats weren't next to each other," the "No Problem" rapper wrote.

"I really ain't wanna inconvenience anyone by asking them to swap seats, but before I could say anything this kind older gentleman offered his seat to Kensli so we could sit together," he added. "We both said thank you and as he stands up, I realize it's THE Martin Short!"

Appearing as a guest on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" on Monday, Chance elaborated on the encounter.

"I super freaked out. I almost told him it was fine and that I would just sit next to him," he said. "But it was cool, it was really, really nice.

"And I don't think he knows who I am, so I think he just did it, which is hilarious but also, like, that's a really kind gesture, you know what I mean."

Chance also spoke with Fallon about becoming a coach on season 23 of "The Voice."

One Direction's Niall Horan will also be joining the show as a coach, while the new season will be country music star Blake Shelton's last in the role.

Kelly Clarkson, who won the first series of "American Idol" in 2002, is also making her return as a coach after a two-season hiatus.

"We all get along pretty great," Chance told Fallon. "I feel like me and Niall have like a little brotherly thing going on because we are both new to the show."

"Kelly is like, I just love Kelly," he added. "She's the reason we have vocal competition TV series now. When she first started out, that was like the pilot for everything.

"I respect her as not only that someone that came from TV, but also as an amazing vocalist and musician."

Season 23 of "The Voice" premiered on NBC on Monday.
