2 Chainz is a rapper, entrepreneur, and actor from the United States. He rose to prominence after his major label debut, which topped many music charts. Since then, 2 Chainz has moved from music to entrepreneurship, launching multiple businesses in the food, beauty, and sports industries.
He is the owner of Esco Restaurant and Tapas, which he founded with his business partner Mychel “Snoop” Dillard six years ago. Today, the company has three locations in metro Atlanta, as well as a seafood restaurant. He is also said to be beginning to franchise in other markets. According to BET, 2 Chainz wants to open more locations in Columbus, Ohio.
In addition to Esco Restaurant and Tapas, he owns the upscale spa, Pamper Nail Salon, which offers full treatments like lashes, make-up, and male grooming. He also runs a podcast show called Me and Halo with his son talking about their relationship and sports.
“His spirit, timing, and the way he asks questions or retains information is not normal for a kid his age,” 2 Chainz said. “Other kids can look at a kid their age being mature, and hopefully that can start a wave of more mature, young black males.”
2 Chainz is no stranger to the NBA. He is a former Alabama State University basketball player who has recently become an investor in the sport. In 2019, he became a minority owner of the College Park Skyhawks, a G-league team affiliated with the NBA’s Atlanta Hawks.
He also secured a partnership and joint venture with Atlantic Records for his record label, T.R.U. (The Real University) Records, that same year. In addition to his business ventures, he has been featured in some movies, including the crime thriller The Enforcer, and was the host of the lavish series, Most Expensivist.
His business acumen saw him recently named Krystal’s first-ever head of creative marketing. According to BET, he will spearhead Krystal’s new edgy Side Chik campaign, featuring three assortments of chicken sandwiches.
“I came along not knowing much but knowing that I have a really powerful influence,” 2 Chainz said. “Over the years, I’ve learned about hospitality and what it takes to run a good business. That on my resume made it easier for me to take on the job with Krystal. “
According to Celebrity Net Worth, 2 Chainz, formerly known as Tity Boi, has a net worth of $12 million.
