Atlanta rapper 2 Chainz continues to make headlines this week after now revealing he was offered an opportunity to join the same label made home to rap stars Drake and Nicki Minaj.

“I was one of the first people invited to Young Money, before the album. Wayne asked me,” Chainz said when he appeared on Wednesday’s “RapFix Live.” “From the outside looking in, I hate to see people look like they clique hopping,” Chainz said. “But when you just look at an artist that went from here to this subsidiary, to this subsidiary — for me I felt like I’m smart enough to sign 2 Chainz slash Def Jam like I did.” Instead of signing to another artist, with Def Jam the “Spend It” MC was able to become his own boss and partner his new label T.R.U. with the deep-rooted record company. As soon as he signed, Chainz sent Wayne a text thanking him for being a true friend. “Lil Wayne is one of the realist dudes in the game as far as opening up doors for people to eat and trickling down to their families,” he said. “He’s one of the most unselfish, talented people that I’ve been around.”
