2 Chainz & YG come through with their mommas for their TV debut of "PROUD."

2 Chainz blessed us with a brand new EP, The Play Don't Care Who Makes It, a few months back. The album seems to be a small project to hold fans over until 2 Chainz releases his forthcoming album, Rap Or Go To The League. The EP spawned the massive single, "Proud" featuring YG and Offset. They later recruited their mothers to star in the official music video for the single. More recently, 2 Chainz and YG brought their mother's along with them for a special Mother's Day performance of the single on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

2 Chainz and YG graced the Jimmy Kimmel Live stage for a performance of their song, "PROUD." The two of them also brought their mothers along for the performance who sat on stage while the two rappers performed their respective parts.

"Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there including my beautiful mother right here. I love you momma. Thank you for the support, thank you for just being there for me everytime I need." Chainz said before he performed the first verse.

2 Chainz and YG later danced with their mothers on stage towards the end of the song. 2 Chainz then performed an unreleased verse towards the end to fill in Offset's part.

With Mother's Day just around the corner, 2 Chainz has a lot to celebrate. The rapper recently proposed to the mother of his children, Kesha Ward, during the red carpet at the 2018 Met Gala.

Peep the performance below.
