2 Chainz – Basketball
As the more talented side of the hip-hop duo Playaz Circle, 2 Chainz gained notoriety. The song “Duffle Bag Boy,” which featured Lil Wayne, was their biggest hit as a duo. Others may not be aware that 2 Chainz succeeded at basketball outside of the music industry, but he did when he went solo in 2012 and had success with the songs “No Lie,” “Birthday Song,” and “I’m Different.” He participated in basketball at North Clayton High School before going on scholarship to Alabama State University. From 1995 to 1997, he was a member of the team, participating in 24 of the 29 contests.
