“My father was involved in selling bricks and also weed. My maternal grandmother was known for running a bootleg operation. When I was young, my mother was actively involved in the real estate business,” he revealed to XXL magazine in March 2022, discussing his early entrepreneurship. “My father never held a traditional job. I have no memory of him rising early in the morning or ever complaining about traffic after coming home late from work. What stands out in my memory is the Cadillacs and the abundance of jewelry that my uncle possessed.”

He explained, "I had an uncle who owned a liquor store and hired all of my uncles. I was subconsciously learning from that experience, figuring out how to be independent. I'm also a hustler, so I knew that relying solely on rap money wasn't enough. I needed to find other sources of income and diversify my portfolio."
2 Chainz has been married to Kesha Ward since 2018 after he proposed at the Met Gala that May. 2 Chainz and Ward, who have been together since 2006, share three kids: Heaven, Harmony and Halo.
