Not every day, but back in the infancy of his hip-hop career, <a href="/profile/TityBoi" class="text-word" target="_blank" >2 Chainz</a> had a bit of a struggle.
The Pretty Girls Like Trap Music rapper stopped by Everyday Struggle to chat with <a href="/profile/JoeBudden" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Joe Budden</a>, Akademiks and Nadeska about a variety of topics, with one story standing out about a deal he once had with <a href="/profile/Ludacris" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Ludacris</a>&#8217; label Disturbing the Peace. This was when he was a member of Playaz Circle.
&#8220;I just woke up and said, &#8216;I don&#8217;t want to do it,'&#8221; said Chainz. &#8220;They told me, &#8216;you just can&#8217;t leave like that.&#8217; He said some s**t about Puffy and <a href="/profile/mase" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Mase</a>. And I said, &#8216;this ain&#8217;t no Puffy and Mase.&#8217; And then I had to find me a lawyer, and then I ended up getting out [of the deal]. I had to pay him $100k per album, and I think, some other little, like a point, which to me, I&#8217;ve made $100k so many times, it was a pretty good deal to get out of it.&#8221;
Imagine had 2 Chainz not had the wherewithal to pressing the eject button on his record deal? Maybe he doesn&#8217;t become the man we know and love today.
