2 Chainz has revealed that one of his businesses was allegedly burglarized by an employee, who stole various pieces of furniture and equipment from the establishment.
In a video posted on social media, the rap star can be seen filming himself walking down an Atlanta street while expressing his disappointment regarding the alleged incident.
While 2 Chainz doesn’t specify exactly when the burglary occurred, he indicated that it happened some time in the past, but that he’s only addressing the incident simply because it’s on [his] heart right now.”

According to the hitmaker, an employee who he knows as “Dom” was responsible for the break-in and theft of property, adding personal insult to injury. He did not clarify if she was employed by him at the time of the alleged crime.
“For a girl that was working in there for me, with me, to go back in there and steal everything in there, the TVs, the sofas,” 2 Chainz lamented, adding that a major aspect of his businesses is to “help women.”
He points out that his Esco restaurant chain employs mostly women, while his other businesses — strip club ATL Candyland, and the now-closed Pamper Nail Studio — boast staffs entirely comprised of women.

2 Chainz also shared that he chose to speak on the burglary due to his son, Halo, inquiring on the stolen property after presumably visiting the establishment following the crime.
“I’m walking with Halo, he’s asking, ‘why all the stuff gone?’” the rapper said. “‘Cause the girl went back in there and stole everything out of there,’” he said he told his son in response.
2 Chainz believes that he’ll be able to retrieve the property and announced that he won’t turn the incident into a criminal matter, but simply wanted to publicly clear the air.

“I ain’t gonna press charges, I ain’t gonna do nothing, but I just want you to see this and feel this,” he concluded
Despite the alleged burglary, 2 Chainz has quietly built a business empire in his hometown and beyond, which has grown considerably over the years. His resume includes real estate, as well as an ownership stake in the Atlanta Hawks‘ NBA G League affiliate, The College Park Skyhawks
