Chance’s iconic hat explained
Chance the Rapper is rarely seen without his iconic “3” hat.
He is carrying on the tradition with his team by gifting each member one of his iconic hats.
The cap has not only become a part of the rapper’s identity, but it also has deep meaning.
Chance told GQ he began wearing caps in school and after they were consistently confiscated by teachers, it became a “rebellion” for him to sport the look.
The number comes from his third and most well-known project, his album Coloring Book.
It also symbolizes the holy trinity and his family composed of himself, his daughter, and his partner.
How much money do winners receive?
Each winner of The Voice reportedly gets $100,000 and a record deal with Universal Music Group.
By comparison, the winner of American Idol reportedly earns $250,000, plus a $1,000 weekly stipend while recording their album.
However, The Voice winner’s celebrity coach sometimes offers other perks to the champion.
Judge Blake Shelton has taken winners from his team on tour with him and has tried to push Universal Music Group to promote their records properly.
Inside the judges paychecks
The price tag per judge varies based on their personal fame, their tenure on the show, and the number of wins they have from past seasons.
Most of the judges average around $13million per season.
For example, Blake Shelton is rumored to make $26million per year from the show; however, he’s had the most wins in the show’s history, and he’s been on the show since its inception.
For these reasons, he’s likely to have been given bonuses as well.
Newbie judges Niall Horan and Chance the Rapper are expected to make around $8 to $11million based on past salaries of other judges.
Kelly Clarkson will be paid around $15million.
