2 Chainz Net Worth

Did you ever dance to Birthday Tune or No Lie? Then you’re probably familiar with the work of well-known rapper 2 Chainz. What you may not know is that, besides notoriety, entering the competitive world of hip-hop also brought the rhymer some serious dough. 2 Chainz’s net worth is estimated at $6 million.

His real name is Tauheed Epps, but everyone knows him by his stage name, 2 Chainz (formerly Tity Boi). He’s from Georgia, was born in ’77, and he initially gained recognition for being one-half of the Southern hip hop duo Playaz Circle. Popularity and true success, however, came after he signed a solo record deal and started to release albums on his own. He was also a guest artist on a number of tracks with popular artists like Ludacris, Gucci Mane, Trey Songz, Bow Wow, Diddy, Nicki Minaj, and Kanye West.

The net worth of 2 Chainz is estimated at $6 million, mostly coming from his singing career. His collaborations are always fruitful: according to an interview with BBC Radio 1xtra, the Atlanta rapper confirmed reports that he charges a whopping $100,000 for a guest verse. He says that asking for a six-dollar figure is justified: “Look, I’m enjoying life, okay? You would be doing the same thing. Don’t look down upon me,” said the rapper. “[You might ask,] ‘Who’s gonna pay that for a verse?’ Your favorite rapper paid it. Don’t even worry about it.” He also insisted that the fee is non-negotiable – “I’m not doin’ deals. I’m tellin’ what I give you, for that number. These are the services that I offer.” His most successful collaborations were with Nicki Minaj for Beez in the Trap, Kanye West (Birthday Song), and Drake (No Lie).

In 2011, 2 Chainz released the very first mixtape to show up in the music charts peaking at number 58 on the US Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. He also flirted with acting – the rhymer appeared on both Law and Order: Special Victims Unit and the sitcom 2 Broke Girls. Last year, the rapper announced that he was starting his own record label, The Real University (also known as “T.R.U.”; or “The Real U”). He signed collaborations with Cap., Skooly, and Short Dawg, who is now known as Fresh. Starting his own record label will likely bump the rapper’s net worth some more. Plus, as every celebrity out there, he also makes money from endorsements and sponsorships. His yearly income is estimated at a little over $700,000, while he also cashes in around $157,000 from endorsements.

Along the years, the rapper had some run-ins with the law. At 15, he was convicted of felony cocaine possession. 2 Chainz was also arrested for marijuana possession and for possession of a controlled substance. Regarding his personal life, 2 Chainz is happily married and has three children: two daughters, Heaven and Harmony; and a baby boy, Halo, who was born in October 2015. He proposed to his now-wife, Kesha, back in 2013.
