On Wednesday night, 2 Chainz held a concert in Tucson, Arizona, the first stop on a tour for his new album, “Pretty Girls Like Trap Music. The show seems to have been just like every other 2 Chainz concert except for one detail: the rapper spent the whole night in a wheelchair.
You see, 2 Chainz broke his leg less than two weeks ago and required surgery, leaving him unable to walk. Here’s how he tells the story:
Ok so maybe there are stronger examples of resilience for Webster to choose from, but this is still pretty impressive commitment to fans. Most of us would not embark on a massive 35-city cross-country tour 10 days after breaking a leg. We would stay at home watching TV and eating ice cream. Fetty Wap, for example, canceled shows after a similar injury, and it’s not like you can blame him for it. But 2 Chainz wants to be out there that badly—or wants that tour money that badly—that he’s toughing it out.
Anyway, as you can see, 2 Chainz did not let his leg or his wheelchair much get in the way of the performance.

It stands to reason that the wheelchair might actually help sales for this tour. This won’t be the last chance to see 2 Chainz in concert, but it will likely be the only chance to see him rolling around with a broken leg and still doing his thing.
