The son so nice they had him twice.
The returning The Voice Coach Chance The Rapper’s parents basically hit copy+paste, when they had his younger brother, Taylor Bennett. Both are super talented rappers, and though they’re two years apart, they look more like twins than most siblings. Check out the familial resemblance below.
Chance The Rapper and his brother Taylor Bennett are close
With being so close in age, of course the brothers occasionally butted heads during their childhood. “We definitely fought growing up,” the “Brain Cells” rapper told People. “I think the older we got, the more it set in that no matter what we will always have each other and that family is a bond we won’t take for granted.”
He elaborated on their now-close relationship to the outlet, comparing the Bennett boys to famous cartoon friends.
“Donald [Duck] and Mickey [Mouse] complement each other really well and I think Taylor and I are the same way. We push each other to be better musicians, fathers, brothers and partners but also always have each other’s back,” said Chance, adding, “It’s a blessing to have the ability to say my brother is somebody who I agree with enough and admire enough to support each other through our lives and our careers. What he aspires to be, I aspire to be.”
About Taylor Bennett

Bennett is a rapper in his own right, performing regularly in the Chicago area and self-releasing multiple albums and mixtapes. He shares two sons, Charlie and Blake, with his longtime partner Kayla Moore.
Bennett is also openly bisexual and an advocate for the LGBTQ+ community. He came out publicly on his 21st birthday in a social media post, and says that the reception he got from his community was very positive.
“There was so much love, and I’ve never really felt like I was isolated. Also, sometimes I don’t realize how strong the words that I might say can be — your words actually start to touch people and they start to move them and change the perception,” Bennett told People five years after coming out. “I’ve never been happier than now. I’ve never felt more confident in myself. I’ve never wanted to do more. I’ve never felt that I could do more. I’ve never felt more represented. And not just by myself, but by other people.”
