Sasha Obama slays as she raps along with Chance the Rapper
LONDON -- Chance the Rapper is no stranger to the White House. In fact, he's been there three times alone in the past year.
During the 94th annual lighting of the National Christmas Tree, Chance performed the track "Sunday Candy"-- much to the delight of one member of the audience in particular.

President Obama has cited Chance as one of his favourite rappers, along with Kendrick Lamar and Jay Z. But Chance's connection to the Obama family actually goes way back.
"Chance, I’ve known for years ’cause his dad was my state director when I was a senator in Illinois. I first met Chance when he was eight years old," Obama told Sway in the Morning on Shade 45 Radio.
Looks like Chance has another big fan in the White House now!
