Chance the Rapper and his fuzzy friends premiere 'Same Drugs' video on Facebook Live
Chance the Rapper swooped in to premiere his "Same Drugs" video on Facebook Live, and as quickly as it filled our afternoons with a little magic, it disappeared.
But fortunately, after a wild goose chase through all Chance's digital homes, the whimsical video has a new home on his official website. The video also features a new version of the song with some additional John Legend vocals.
Chance announced the video premiere this afternoon on Twitter, where he directed fans to his Facebook page. Right on schedule, the video played after a countdown before he immediately took it down.

The video, directed by Jake Schreie, is pretty similar to his set up during his most recent Magnificent Coloring World Tour, with Chance sitting down at the piano for a heartwarming duet with a puppet pal. The childlike wonder fits right in with the track's Peter Pan inspiration.
After the performance, we go behind the scenes to find out the puppets were calling the shots all along.
Based off Facebook reactions, his fans liked and loved the video a lot.
Apparently, the original plan was to make people wait a week to see the video again, but Chance decided he wouldn't deprive of the world of any of the limited joy out there right now.
