Chance the Rapper is launching a clothing line inspired by the former first family, called Thank U Obama.

Among the items in the online shop that opened this week: a $40 King Obama shirt featuring an illustration of the former president sporting a crown, a $35 tee emblazoned with Malia, the name of Obamas 18-year-old daughter, and a $50 Obamas Wedding Tee featuring the words Barack n Michelle written on the front, with the couples wedding date listed on the back.

The message continues, The night Obama won his first term gave me so much hope, especially & most importantly as a black man. I decided to make a collection saying thank you and give me something to smile at every now and then when I look in the closet.

Chance the Rapper tweeted to his nearly 3 million followers on Thursday:

The site crashed but we back up #ThankUObama https://t.co/VwPC4cYgDi pic.twitter.com/GlDDQwQyQf

The majority of items for sale on the site are on back order. Some, including an $150 Obama All-Star Jersey are sold out.

A scrolling message on the site says, Do not wear. This is art.

Chance the Rapper, who like Obama is from Chicago, attended a state dinner at the White House last October. He revealed to ITK at the time that he had a recurring dance battle going on with the then-president and was looking forward to another dance-off with Obama.
