Chainz Launches Tour in Pink Wheelchair | Rap-Up

Despite the setback, 2 Chainz launched his Pretty Girls Like Trap Music tour at Tuscon, AZ's Rialto Theater Wednesday night (August 9), perched in a custom pink wheelchair with the word "TRAP" scrawled across the back. The rapper formerly known as Tity Boi kept the nature of his injury under wraps for almost two weeks, before addressing his fans with a heartfelt post. Instead, the show went on with 2 Chainz performing his entire set in Tucson, Arizona sitting down on a pink wheelchair. The Atlanta rapper made it clear that he has no intention of stopping the show, even after his doctor told him "well, looks like your gonna have to cancel your tour".

"After all the morphine and pains meds wore off I called management and said somebody find me a 'pink wheelchair, '" he wrote.

2 Chainz's tour of the USA runs through the end of next month. "If I can do it you can too".

Anyway, as you can see, 2 Chainz did not let his leg or his wheelchair much get in the way of the performance. Although he couldn't walk, he was able to wheel around the stage a little bit to show each section some love. 2 Chainz was looking at a massively inconvenient and shitty situation, but found a way to creatively overcome the obstacles.

The Pretty Girls Like Trap Music tour continues on Friday night (Aug. 11) with a show in Anaheim, California.
