Rapper 2 Chainz Giving Back

“It’s Important To Give Back When You’ve Got It.”   2 Chainz 

Famous rapper 2 Chainz made the holidays of a disabled veteran very good, and fun filled.

Single mother Deirdre Plater who resides in Palmetto, Georgia, hasn’t been able to find a job for the past year, which has made it difficult for her to make ends meet. The rapper who is a native College Park, Georgia, learned of her situation and decided to pay her a visit Saturday. He did not come empty handed, he bought new furniture for Plater’s apartment and also offered to offset her rent for the year.

“Last week was my son’s birthday and his mentor sister brought us something to eat for Thanksgiving while dropping off money for some groceries and she noticed that we didn’t have any furniture in the house,” Plater explained. “I guess that sparked my son’s mentor Mark Barnes to do something special for us and when he got the call from 2 Chainz about helping a family it all fell into place.”

2 Chainz used the proceeds for the “Dabbing Santa” sweaters he is selling online to help pay for the furniture and Plater’s rent. ” 1 Life 1 Love” is a quote from the online shop for his Christmas sweaters.

2 Chainz posted on Instagram about the importance of giving back, remembering that he grew up poor.
