{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Detailing his recent run-in with actor Martin Short on an airplane Sunday, Chance The Rapper said Short agreed to swap seats with the performer's daughter so the two could sit next to each other.
"So I just got on this plane with my daughter, and found out our seats weren’t next to each other. I really ain’t wanna inconvenience anyone by asking them to swap seats, but before I could say anything this kind older gentleman offered his seat to Kensli so we could sit together. We both said thank you and as he stands up, I realize it’s THE Martin Short!!" Chance the Rapper tweeted.
Chance also said Short is an "awesome person" and that his daughter, Kensli, was "freaking out" because she's a huge fan of "The Santa Clause 3." Short plays Jack Frost in the popular holiday movie.
