2 Chainz Talks About Getting Robbed In San Francisco
Last weekend, while on the West Coast, 2 Chainz got robbed before his show in the Bay Area. After denying the robbery at first, footage of the incident ended up hitting the net. When he returned to ATL, he stopped by Hot 107.9 and went into detail about what happened.
“I saw the gun first. It was like a .357. It was so heavy he couldn’t really hold it. The gun was so big. That’s what made me take off running. When I went into the street, there was another dude with a whole ‘nother gun. That’s when I knew it wasn’t like an episode of Punk’d. I was like this is real…I had bullet fragments in my hair…I think he thought he shot me.”
