While on “The View” yesterday, 2 Chainz opened up about the recent Manchester attack at the Ariana Grande concert that left 22 dead and several injured. Chainz admitted the attack could leave a lasting negative impact on concerts with people living in fear.
“I think that situation is very unfortunate,” he said. “When people go to concerts, they feel like it’s a place to get away. For some kids, it’s their first time being away from their parents, and for parents, you hope they have a good time, get back home safely.”
Sharing the sentiment of several other artists that have commented on the situation, saying concerts are meant to be a place of unity and healing. He also believes as any terror attack, this one will effect artists of all genres in different ways.
“This is a concert where there shouldn’t be that much resistance,” he continued. “It should be safe. I know a lot of the content from hip-hop rappers, you just assume, even the venue’s insurance is just different. With this situation, it’s a trickle down effect. I don’t know where the mindset is for her. It’s just a real unfortunate situation.”
Chainz also talked about his forthcoming ‘Pretty Girls Like Trap Music’ and previewed what can be expected saying, “You can expect growth and maturation from 2 Chainz. It’s still edgy content. Good girls used to like the bad guys, and that’s what this album is about.”
‘Pretty Girls Like Trap Music’ will be dropping June 16th. Although there isn’t a track listing as of yet, you can expect collaborations with Drake, Pharrell, Migos, and others.
