February 17, 2022

Chet Hanks Opens Up In New Interview

Rapper Chet Hanks, son of Hollywood star Tom Hanks and Rita Heyworth, has made some interesting remarks about his upbringing as the child of celebrities. Though he acknowledges the privileges he enjoyed and the lavish lifestyle, he says that he was impacted by a lot of toxicity because he didn’t have a “strong male figure” in his life.

In his video blog on Youtube, Chet said, “There’s a lot of advantages but sometimes it can be pretty weird. I got to do a lot of cool s**t that a lot of people don’t get the opportunity to do. My experience was even more complicated because on top of fame already being toxic, I wasn’t even famous –  I was just the son of somebody famous so I hadn’t even done anything to deserve any sort of recognition and that created a lot of contempt.”

Instead of following in his parents’ footsteps, Chet took an alternative path, making a name for himself as a rapper and producing sexually explicit music and raunchy videos, including his 2021 single, DAMN. The “White Boy Summer” artist, who goes by the stage name “Chet Hanx” has also jumped into a few rap beefs, including a 2020 fray with Tekashi69 where he blasted 69 for snitching saying, “I’d rather be broke and be be able to go where I Like/do as I please than have 100 Billion and have to live in hiding with 24/7 security team….”
