The Gold Over America Tour is back for 2024, and it’s bigger and more spectacular than ever. Headlined by Simone Biles, the tour is set to crisscross 30 cities across the United States. Biles and her star-studded cast have been working hard after their Paris quest brought an electrifying combination of gymnastics and entertainment to arenas nationwide.

Biles, fresh off her four-medal haul at the Paris 2024 Olympics, has taken the chance to embrace this new journey. GOAT is providing a stage to the gymnastics G.O.A.T to celebrate with fans who have followed her decade-long journey to greatness. While the team is gearing up to pull off a high-flying spectacle, fans too can’t wait to witness Biles and the gymnastics star live. Among those who have already experienced the magic of GOAT is none other than Chance the Rapper, who recently attended a show at the United Center with his daughters. 

Chance the Rapper, whose original name is Chancelor Jonathan Bennett, took to his Instagram and shared pictures of his family with Simone Biles and ‘Mr. Biles’ aka Jonathan Owens from their visit to the Gold Over America Tour. The ‘No Problem’ artist took to Instagram and uploaded a couple of vibrant images. In the first image, Chance the Rapper was spotted alongside Jonathan Owens and his mother Lisa, his ex-wife, Kirsten Corley, and their two daughters, Kensli (9) and Marli (5).

After the performance, the Grammy-winning artist expressed his appreciation on social media for Biles and the team. He penned in his post, “Took the girls to see the Gold Over America Tour and meet some of the greatest athletes to grace the earth! Thanks so much @simonebiles for taking time to meet my kids while they’re on their own journey through gymnastics,” wrote the rapper. 

Chance, a proud Chicago native, is not just known for his heartfelt lyrics but also for his strong advocacy for the youth in his city. His words perfectly highlighted the essence of the tour as Simone Biles and her crew brought some serious gymnastics star power to the United Center. Meanwhile, Biles, who’s always been there to support her husband, Jonathan Owens, received just as much love in return from both Owens and the Chicago Bears.

The Bears’ star cheered for his wife the entire time and made sure that Biles put up a phenomenal performance. Well, GOAT is not just about the performance, but more about the experience that inspires young athletes and celebrates the power of sports to bring people together. Following a similar path, Biles is leaving her mark in every trade she has been stepping into, getting closer and winning the hearts of more people.
