What would 2 Chainz do with a $40K giraffe?
The Atlanta rapper gets extravagant for GQ's 'Most Expensivest Shit'
If your money is long like giraffe necks this might be for you. 2 Chainz takes balling to ridiculous heights in the latest episode of the GQ web series "Most Expensivest Shit." No typo.
The series is supposed to highlight the decadent toys of the rich and famous — a little tone deaf for the times perhaps but I guess somebody's getting money. In past episodes, the Atlanta rapper known for his extravagant shoe collection has smoked kush out of a $10,000 bong, sampled a $100,000 bottle of water, and shopped for $26,000 Jordans with L.A. Lakers star Nick Young. In the latest ep., "Exotic Animals," he and rapper French Montana spend a day window shopping for party favors including exotic parrots, a monkey, and a baby giraffe. The premise ain't that far-fetched if you recall the kind of parties BMF used to throw at the Compound back in the day, complete with rented zebras, giraffe, and the like.
Funny thing is Chainz doesn't seem to be a real fan of the wild things. Watch how he tries to keep his cool when the lil' monkey in the diaper jumps on his back. The episode reminds me of what Goodie Mob was going for in the group's short-lived TBS reality show. The over-the-top vibe definitely fits 2 Chainz' brand and onstage persona better.
But the real star of the episode is the resident animal keeper Jack, who bears an odd resemblance to Johnny Depp's character Jack in Pirates of the Caribbean. They even share the same accent.
