2 Chainz has denied that he was robbed June 9 in San Francisco, California. Today (June 13), though, the rapper’s security guard, Harold “Hammer Strength” Folsom called into Columbus, Ohio radio station Power 107.5 to discuss the incident, which Folsom said did, in fact, take place. TMZ has also posted surveillance video of the robbery.
Folsom said that after arriving in San Francisco June 9, 2 Chainz and his crew headed to the city’s downtown district. At about 4:30 pm, Folsom said they exited their van and were walking to a store when they were confronted.
“All of a sudden three dudes just jumped out with huge guns, .357 Magnums,” Folsom said during the interview. “They pointed the guns at us and we was like ‘Whoa!’ We thought it was a joke for a minute. We looked at them, we stopped, kinda paused. We thought it was a joke. Then all we heard was, ‘2 Chainz give it up.’ So we like stood there and didn’t do anything, and we kinda like froze, cuz we wanted to see if this was real. All of a sudden, the next thing you know, 2 Chainz kinda like backed up a little bit. And then he said, ‘Give it up. Give it up.’ And then all of a sudden he took off. He took off running first. When he took off running, we took off running. Then all of a sudden these dudes, they just start shooting. I don’t know where they shot at.”
Folsom, who says he is from Columbus during the interview, said that some of the media reports regarding the robbery were inaccurate. “TMZ got it all like we just left and left him standing there, and we just took off,” said Folsom, who later added that he was right next to 2 Chainz when the robbery occurred. “But he started running first, and we took off after he took off. So I don’t know what they trying to make it seem like. The bottom line is he just fell, the dude he grabbed his wallet from him, and his cell phone from him, and that’s all they took. He has his chains on him, his bracelet and all that, and all his jewelry with him and they ain’t touch none of that. All they did is they got his wallet, and like I said, he ain’t got no money in his wallet. The bottom line is, man, it was a setup. We know it was a setup so, that’s why he told the police we will handle it.”
Folsom said that 2 Chainz performed as scheduled in San Francisco June 9. “We killed it that night,” he said. “We pray, man. We pray. We don’t care. We pray, so as long as we pray, we feel like God’s gonna protect us.

Lol, this dude’s account is so different than anything ive heard, and so different than the video. I only saw 2 dudes, no shots fired, and they sure as hell did not pause. they were gone in a split second and 2 chainz was not the first to run.
gaayyyy
these dudes didnt pause or wait..they took off running right off the start..dude sayn they waited to see if it was real. bodyguards still trying to act hard. watch the video
“We looked at them, we stopped, kinda paused. We thought it was a joke. Then all we heard was, ‘2 Chainz give it up.’ So we like stood there and didnt do anything, and we kinda like froze,”
dis nigga lying they were fucking track stars they took off so fast wasnt no stopping, pausing or freezing
^LMAOOOO I SAID THE SAME SHIT HAHA….everythin happened in 1 second, dude shows up, they jet away, there was no stopping or pausing or freezing what so ever
security guards is doing radio interviews and coppin pleas now? LOL Tity boi its time for some new security dawg!
Wait… I thought only 50 Cent had body guards.

Why pay security so they can be on some Carl Lewis shit? Hell, you can keep your bread and become a TRACK STAR yourself. Lesson: Just cause you have security don’t make you safe.

lol so security runs away. First it was one guy now it are 3 guys with big guns. Just admit that you are pussies and run away like some carl lewis shit. You aint gangster but a wanksta
typical gangsta rappers always lying.
You know you old as fuck when you saying Carl Lewis for reference…
lol true, if you were younger you would have said Husan Bolt or somebody. Pointless to hire a body guard who wont protect you.
“like I said, he aint got no money in his wallet”. SO WHY HE HAS A WALLET IF HE HAS NO MONEY IN IT?
I carry a wallet with no money in it…….a Gucci wallet at that
to carry ID, credit cards, debit cards, some old receipts and my Old Navy frequent shopper card
LOL old navy frequent shoppers card!
you know 2 chainz cant leave home without his old navy card!
^^^lmao
ahahahahahahahah. 2 Chainz is a liar. Didn’t think that the lil’ surveillance cameras were gonna snitch on him and tell everybody how him and his whole crew are pussys and dipped like sour cream. And not one… NOT ONE of his homeboys, nor himself, was carrying any heat, or if they were, are “gangsta” enough to pull it out, let alone shoot. Buahahahaha. 2 Chainz is pregnant by the way…
This guy is lying too much. The TMZ video shows everyone running away then 2 Chainz running away. Also, the security guard is saying three guys when the video only showed one guy. Lastly, we don’t know what was stolen and judging from the other lies I bet 2 Chainz got his chains snatched as well. I am wondering, how do you get robbed if you have security and your boys with you? Maybe 2 Chainz should hire better security with all the money hes making. Also, maybe he should get better shoes so he doesn’t fall next time.
SO HE HAS SECURITY GAURDS WHO DNT HAVE STRAPS AND RUN AWAY WHEN PEOPLE RUN UP ON THERE BOY…HMMMM INTERESTING
THEN THEY DO RADIO INTERVIEWS COPPIN PLEAS AND THROW THEIR BOSS UNDER THE BUS
Top five hiphop fails
1. Rick Ross getting shot at wrecking car
2. Two chainz getting robbed and tripping on his feet
3. Gunplay getting beat the fuck up
4. Lil waynes multiple seizures
5. Gucci mane going to jail the same day he got out
*honorable mention* chief keef crying for being sentenced to two months in juvie.
These are the gangsta rappers of our time folks.
at least gucci a real nigga though unlike everyone else listed
lol, real talk…..Officer Ricky will always hold down the number slot…
I bet if someone shot at you while you were driving your Prius, you’d probably run into a fire hydrant.
no one shot at him though. not one bullet hit his car
I agree wit the gucci comment. I shulda said ross canceling his tour due to gd threats. Or meek gettn ethered. Il hav to make a seperate mmg list
ross getting dropped by reebok due to angry women protesting his rape lyrics, ross getting exposed for being a fraud, ross hiring the nypd to guard his hotel in new york, the list goes on more L’s than any other crew in rap
getting shot at and having seizures are not fails…you take rap wayyyyyy too serious
no one talkin bout seizures
You gotta grab a new security detail, Tity….much respect tho, If I saw any hesitation in the nigga holding the hammer, I’m going to take off too……
Don’t blame him for running from guns but his crew are a joke and need fired asap pay sum goons to back you up.
The guys that did this didn’t even get his chains why risk it 3 guns robbery on a street firing shots middle the day yet they still got scared the police would turn up and didn’t get his jewellery…………risking ten years for a wallet and a phone
they gonna be famous in their hood though for making 2 chainz look like a bitch
Firing on the street in plain daylight is nothing new in San Fran or the whole bay area as far as that goes.
We don’t believe you, you need….nah wait, we saw the surveillance vid,it shows all y’all people running…
so you would have stayed and fought off or shot at the three dudes who had their guns on you…rappers are not superheros they bleed just like us
wouldnt have fronted like it didnt happen when its on tape
To the second Anon, nah bro, people get robbed all the time, just don’t front and lie about it…trust me no one knows how you will react when someone pulls out a piece,especially if you are a civilian but if you’re about that street life or at least claim to be, you gotta expect this type of shit and mentally prepare yourself.
The point is he got caught slipping and his crew ran and left him. If they were street dudes, they would just brush their shoulders off and laugh about it. Right now they look like poseurs and are setting themselves up for future vics.
Call up 50 and Jay maybe they can put you in touch with some real security that knows what they’re doing. Oh wait this nicca can’t afford that
