On the debut episode of MTV’s new series “This Is How I Made It,” 2 Chainz explains just how far his roots run.
On September 6, 2 Chainz was joined by Lil Wayne for a performance on the VMAs stage, where they delivered the Weezy-featured “Yuck” from Based on a T.R.U. Story, but the two rappers have a much longer history than some fans realize.
“I’ve had a relationship with Lil Wayne for over 10 years now,” 2 Chainz reveals in a preview of the upcoming episode. “Me and Wayne are like real peers, he liked my vibe from day one.”
The two have maintained a close bond over the years, and 2 Chainz has developed similarly close friendships with other members of the YMCMB team including Drake and Nicki Minaj.
“This Is How I Made It” debuts Saturday at 12 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.
