Rapper 2 Chainz is upset that his friends and family failed to show up for his annual Thanksgiving turkey giveaway on Tuesday. 2 Chainz and his family handed out frozen turkeys outside his Esco Restaurant in Atlanta.
2 Chainz held up a cardboard sign with the words “Free Turkeys” scribbled on it. He handed out turkeys to people in cars, on city buses, and even a garbage truck driver.
But 2 Chainz was disappointed that his friends didn’t turn out to support him. Particularly after fellow rapper T.I. held his star-studded annual turkey giveaway on the same day in Atlanta.
In a video reposted by 9MagTV on Nov. 26, 2 Chainz expressed his disappointment. He said his friends and family who didn’t show up are the same ones begging him for money and favors.
“People ask me for favors all the time, ask me for money all the time,” he said, “and y’all can’t even pop up to help me help other people. So now I’m working for you. I’m out here grinding, giving my money to help you ’cause you can’t get your hustle together. Or I’m helping the unfortunate and you one of the unfortunate, but you ain’t even gonna come by. I’m just sitting here thinking, man, y’all got to leave me the f-ck alone for a minute for real. It’s really ni**as that just need to just think about that man. What else was you doing?”
2 Chainz is known for his generosity and giving back to his community. The rap mogul recently donated a minivan to a family who lost their home in a fire. He also provides back-to-school supplies to children annually.
2 Chainz performed at Kamala Harris’ “When We Vote, We Win Rally” at the Atlanta Civic Center on Nov. 2.
