"Ask your mom who to vote for. Vote for who she say," the Chicago native tweeted on Tuesday, adding, "Ya mama been thru alot. Ask them and trust them."
Users quickly took issue with Chance's tweet, pointing out that the political views of their moms vary wildly. Others pointed out that religion, location, and race could also play a big part in who they're voting for.
But the biggest reaction was from the numerous people who decried Chance's advice, instead encouraging people to do their own research on political issues and presidential candidates.

Earlier this year, the Chicago native came under fire for seemingly supporting Kanye West's "presidential run" after he questioned his followers why Joe Biden "would be better" suited to be president than Donald Trump.
A few hours after his "endorsement," Chance clarified his stance, writing, "I understand the improbability of Ye winning the 46th Presidential seat and I understand that everyone voting for Biden isn't necessarily doing so enthusiastically."
