The performance was part of a trio of cyphers put on as a part of the award show which featured some major names.

2 Chainz also included advice at the end of his post on how to make the most of opportunities. “Moral of story – stay ready so you won’t have to get ready.” Much of the new 2 Chainz news recently comes from his hilarious podcast with his son. Me And Halo has been the point of some hilarious discussions between him and his son Halo. One of the most viral moments was when Halo was notably unimpressed by his dad’s fame.
