Michelle Obama helps make Chance the Rapper's BET Humanitarian Award historic

The BET Awards featured a surprise guest on Sunday: Michelle Obama. And she taped a special message for none other than Chance the Rapper.

The occasion for the visit from the former first lady was Chance's acceptance of the BET Humanitarian Award.

Michelle and Barack Obama both called Chicago home before moving to the White House, which explains why Michelle was able to reveal to the audience that her family knew the Chicago rapper since he was "a wee little baby rapper."

Not only is Chance now the youngest recipient of the award, he delivered a pretty damn good speech for a 24-year-old rising star.

"I didn't prepare a speech because I wanted to speak from my heart. I'm 24 and to be receiving something like this at my age feels good as hell," said Chance, while clutching the award on stage.

"It doesn't feel deserved yet, but my god is putting the pressure on me so I can become who I'm supposed to be. I'm a good man and I'm going to become a better man."
