Video footage of rapper 2 Chainz being robbed has surfaced online and reveals the intense moment two men approached the “Like Me” singer and robbed him at gunpoint.
News of Chainz, whose real name is Tauheed Epps, and his entourage being robbed at gunpoint first surfaced earlier this week. Police revealed that the rappers group of friends “ran away like cockroaches running from a flashlight” when guns were drawn.
Chainz later denied reports that he was robbed on Twitter writing, “Rule #1 if a rapper gets robbed people usually post items that has been taken. Rings, chains, watch , money etc. 2 answer that question.”
