In her new role as anchor for “Fuse News,” Ashanti sat down with 2 Chainz last year. They discussed his grind from Tity Boi to 2 Chainz, collaborating with Kanye West, and spoiling his daughter.

“I’m sacrificing for my whole family. I want everybody to a have a smile on their face even when I’m not in the best of moods,” said the “No Lie” rapper, whoplans to release his second album this year.

He also reflected on the past and his place in hip-hop. “I feel like my calling ain’t supposed to be the best rapper or the best MC in the world, but my story can inspire somebody not to give up.”
