After being asked numerous times why he chose to change his stage name from Tity Boi to 2 Chainz, 2 Chainz finally chose to explain the reason behind the name change during his interview on Shade 45 late last month.

Aside from signifying his growth as an artist 2 Chainz also spoke on his new stage name being more “family friendly.”

2 Chainz went on to explain that the name 2 Chainz also signified his second chance in music after being a part of Playaz Circle and being signed to DTP/Def Jam.

2 Chainz’ mixtape T.R.U. Realigion was released November of last year and featured appearances from Meek Mill, Big Sean, and more.
