Anita Baker gives credit where it is due and went to Chance The Rapper.
In a clip that went viral on social media, the legendary singer thanked the Chicago rapper for helping her regain her masters.
“You should say hello to a friend of mine by way of the music industry and by the way of helping me, helping me to get a hold and ownership of my master recordings,” Baker said as she was pointing to Chance.
