2 Chainz Says He’s Given Up On Getting A Jay Z Verse

After Almost A Decade Of Rejections, 2 Chainz Gives Up Trying To Get A Jay Z Feature

2 Chainz is fresh off releasing his highly awaited So Help Me God! album and the Rapper’s fans are more than impressed. 2 Chainz however, revealed that he’s done trying to get a Jay Z feature after multiple rejections.

During a recent interview on The Breakfast Club, 2 Chainz discussed his latest project and Charlamagne Tha God brought up Jay-Z, as 2 Chainz paid homage to the rap icon on his track “Southside Hov.”

The rapper said he spoke with Jay about the record before including it on the project. “Me and Hov cool so I sent him the video when I did it. Just to show him the angle that I wasn’t trying to be him, but that was the…since it was a Hov sample and the things that I was talking about in the song,” he said.

“It was some Hov stuff, so I named it ‘Southside Hov.’ But um, he was like, ‘I’m humbled by it.’ It was a cool back-and-forth we had, but I sent him the video as soon as I did it.”

For almost a decade, 2 Chainz has been trying to get Jay-Z to gift him with a feature, but it has yet to happen. “As far as trying to get him on something, yes, I’ve given up on that,” said 2 Chainz while The Breakfast Club hosts laughed.

“I don’t like rejection and I got this little mental thing—the people don’t even know this. People that I deal with don’t even know this, where I might ask somebody something three times over my whole life and secretly, after the third time, I won’t ever, ever, ever probably like [say anything].”
