2 Chainz

2 Chainz married Kesha Ward in 2013. The couple has three children, Heaven, Harmony, and Halo.

Despite having a successful career, he is also notorious for his brushes with the law. He has been arrested multiple times for drug possession.

Tauheed Epps was born on 12 September 1977, in College Park, Georgia, in the United States. He had a difficult childhood; he was mostly raised by his mother alone as his father was in and out of prison several times.

He went to North Clayton High School, where he also used to play basketball. Despite being a good student, he also dealt in drugs as a teenager. At the age of fifteen, he was arrested for drug possession. He attended the Alabama State University, and later, transferred to the Virginia State University.

Tauheed Epps formed the hip hop duo Playaz Circle with a high school friend and started performing songs. The duo then became friends with the well-known rapper Ludacris and also performed with him.

’Supply & Demand,’ the debut album by the duo, was released in 2007. It performed well, and debuted at number 27 on the Billboard 200. It sold more than 26,000 copies within the first week. However, on the second week, it dropped down to number 79 on the Billboard 200.

Epps, who had by now adopted the stage name “2 Chainz,” announced his debut studio album in March 2012. Two months later, he released the album’s lead single ‘No Lie’, which featured the well-known Canadian rapper Drake. Debuting at number 46 on the Billboard Hot 100, the song was a success commercially and sold 1.4 million copies digitally.

The same year, in August, 2 Chainz’s album ‘Based on a T.R.U. story’ was released. The album, which included guest appearances from popular rappers such as Drake, Lil Wayne and Kanye West, peaked at the first position on the US Billboard 200.

His second album ‘B.O.A.T.S. II’ saw its release in September 2013. Peaking at third position on the US Billboard 200, the album was a huge success, like his first one. It sold 63,000 copies within its first week.

’Based on a T.R.U. Story’, which was the debut studio album of 2 Chainz, can be regarded as his first major work, as well as his most successful one. The album was a big success, and peaked at the first position in the US Billboard 200, as well as sold 147,000 copies within a week. Over the year, it eventually sold 623,000 copies. The album, with hit singles such as ‘No Lie’, ‘Birthday Song’, and I’m Different’, was also nominated for ‘Best Rap Album’, at the 55th Grammy Awards. Reviews were mostly mixed.

’B.O.A.T.S. II: Me Time,’ the second studio album by 2 Chainz is also one of his important works. Debuting at number three on the US Billboard 200, the album was a huge hit. It sold 63,000 copies within its first week. It included hit singles such as ‘Feds Watching’, ‘Where U Been’, and ‘NetFlix’. It also became popular in a few other countries, such as Canada, and debuted at the 11th position on Canadian albums chart. It mostly received positive reviews from critics.
