Kanye West meets his self-appointed "#1 fan" Chance The Rapper at Jay Z's Made In America festival.

Chance The Rapper is an outspoken fan of the one and only Kanye West, and the two Chicago natives finally had the chance to meet during this past weekend's Made In America festival.

The festival, which occurred in both Philly and L.A., saw major performances from Kanye West, YG, Kendrick Lamar, Chance The Rapper, J. Cole, Pharrell and many others. Yeezus closed things out last night in Los Angeles, wrapping up another successful year of the Jay Z-coordinated event. While fans in attendance undoubtedly had a good time, the artists performing seemed to be enjoying themselves equally. Chance The Rapper documented his backstage antics with photographs on Instagram, the most notable (and likely memorable) of which was a shot with Kanye West. Chance was unabashedly excited to meet Ye, writing on Instagram, "Anyone who knows me knows how big of a moment this was for me. I've been his biggest fan since 04 and I'm pretty sure I'm still his #1 fan. Thanks to J for hookin it up. Thanks to Gizmo for all the good luck yesterday. #IMetKanye."

Check out the meeting of Chicago's creative minds in the gallery above. Chance went on Twitter to say that "We talked about Chicago and what we could do for it."
