When Does 2 Chainz Celebrate His Birthday? His Age And Early Life

2 Chainz was born in 1977, as the only child. He celebrates his birthday on 12 September every year. His father was in and out of prison a lot of times during his childhood, so his mother raised him alone. In an interview with The Urban Daily, he said “The fact that my mom raised me, used to bother my pop. He didn't know if a woman could raise a man. And they'd have differences of opinions all the time.

After his father’s death, he revealed that losing his father was very heartbreaking and hard for him as he lost someone he could trust, confide in, and communicate with, but the experience also made him stronger and independent.

For education, the rapper attended North Clayton High School and graduated second in his class. He graduated from Alabama State University, where he got in on a scholarship to play for the Hornets Basketball Team.
