He then goes on to mention that his father ran Obama’s campaign for congressman and when he was eight years old, he stopped by their house when he was on a campaign trail. He mentions Chance’s real name, telling him it translates to “king.” Obama then gives him advice that he still will not follow. He told him to sell his music.
