2 Chainz has called out a former employee who allegedly stole multiple big-ticket items from one of his businesses – but he has no plans to press charges.
Taking to Instagram with a video as he walked along the street where he has multiple establishments, the Atlanta-bred rapper explained the situation.
“This junk been happened but it’s on my heart right now. I do a lot for my community,” he began. “Really my businesses – they help women. [My restaurant] Esco is mostly women that work there, the nail shop is all women. But you know, for a girl that was working in there for me, with me to go back in there and steal all the stuff out of there… the TVs, the sofas. I’ma be able to get it but I just feel like… I mean, this been happen.
“I don’t know why it’s on my heart. I’m walking with [my son] Halo and he’s asking all these questions like, ‘Why all the stuff gone?’ Because the girl went back in there and stole everything out of there. I ain’t gon’ press charges, I ain’t gon’ do nothing but I just want you to see this and feel this.”

In the caption, he added: “No good deed goes unpunished [shrug emoji] im not even mad, I know it’s hard out here … it’s the principle.”
In more positive news, 2 Chainz is set to continue his prolific start to 2025 by releasing a joint album with Statik Selektah this year.
The rapper only just dropped Life Is Beautiful with Larry June and The Alchemist, but is showing no signs of slowing down now that he’s an independent artist.

In an Instagram post earlier this month, Statik confirmed that the pair’s full-length collaboration will arrive before the year is out and that it will feature appearances from Lil Wayne, Westside Gunn, Mary J. Blige, Cee-Lo Green and Larry June, among others.
That’s just the start of the star-studded supporting cast, with the veteran producer adding that the album will have “way more features.”
2 Chainz and Statik’s somewhat unlikely relationship dates back nearly a decade to 2016’s “Smoke Break.”

Since then, they’ve reconnected on tracks like “Man of the Hour,” which also featured Wiz Khalifa, and “Play Around” with Conway The Machine, Killer Mike and Allan Kingdom.
