Chance the Rapper is defending comedian MoNique in her battle with Netflix over wage equality.

In January, MoNique called for people to boycott Netflix . She said the streaming service revealed gender bias and color bias when it offered her millions of dollars less for a comedy special than it gave other comedians for their performances.

Im with MoNique, the Chicago rapper stated in a series of tweets Saturday. He highlighted MoNiques clout and accomplishments, declaring that the Oscar-winning actress and other black women deserve better.

Im with MoNique.
