Barack Obama teams up with Chance the Rapper and Steph Curry for uplifting new ad
Watch Next

Barack Obama, Chance the Rapper and Steph Curry have teamed up for an inspirational new PSA.

The former President shared the new ad for his independent mentorship organisation, My Brother’s Keeper (MBK), on Christmas Eve. Obama established MBK in Feb. 2014 to address opportunity gaps facing young men of color.

“I want you to know, you matter. There is nothing, not a single thing, that's more important to the future of America than whether or not young people all across this country can achieve their dreams," Obama says in a speech featured in the video.

This isn't the first time Chance and Obama have teamed up. And the appearance of Curry could be seen as a dig at President Donald Trump, who created a petty feud with the Golden State Warriors champ after he declined an invitation to the White House.
