2 Chainz Explains How He Copes With Negative Media Attention

    2 Chainz has made headlines this year, but not always for the best of reasons. In addition to a robbery at gunpoint this past Summer, the rapper was recently arrested during a tour bus drug bust.

    In an interview on DJ Skee’s “Skee Live,” the Def Jam artist explained how he keeps the negative media scrunity from getting to him.

    “You just keep it moving. I come from an urban, challenged background,” he explained. “I come from an apartment…and a bunch of guys raised by single mothers. I made it in a lot of people’s eyes. Once people, or the law, whoever figures that we’re roughly on the same team, because I’m out here, basically just tryin’ to feed my family. You know, paying taxes…and none of us are perfect. Let me be the first to say that.”

    The Artist Formerly Known as Tity Boi explained that he was hoping to live life that would hopefully serve as motivation for others. “But, just for me, I’m just trying to be some kind of example, some type of inspiration for someone that’s behind someone that’s coming up to know, ‘You kinda got rights. You storta have rights.'”

    “I’m successful, but I try to give back, I try to entertain, I try to be a people’s person, I try not to be a jerk, I try to treat everybody the same,” he added.

      – Nas Escobar never sold drugs
      – Ice Cube never was a gangbanger

      – Mobb deep are the biggiest pussies in rap they are short as midgets and keep talking this g shit but never did g shit.

    6. 2 Chainz.. You don’t try not to be a jerk, YOU ARE DEFINITELY NOT A JERK..

      YOU had the kind decency to laugh off & still be kind, regardless of how much from such a different walk of life that I am from, yet still allowed me and my never ending ball of energy force to run wild all around the tour bus and then signed EVERYTHING I had, clearly seeing that I would keep everything forever and that you are my favorite artist, I treasure the time you gave me, every autograph you have signed that I will keep forever & you and your team letting me watch your performance from the Stage!

      You and your music influence me in a way that no one else can, you allow me to have fun and enjoy the rare free time with the most sickest beats and excellent lyrical individuality and limitless talent you possess..
