Popular rapper and culture staple 2 Chainz, who was rushed to a hospital on Dec. 9 after getting hit by a car in Miami, has been released from a weekend hospitalization.
On his Instagram page, the “Bugatti (Remix)” rapper posted a picture of the car that hit him from behind, along with the following message: “Praise God for the blessings, Things could have been worse, but it wasn’t, don’t wanna pity party, but i do appreciate every single person that checked up on me. Sometimes someone in my position don’t feel like the love real or maybe it’s mind thing, but I truly felt the love and don’t worry bout me, I’m good.”
According to media reports, the rapper was driving on I-95 and was about to exit when another car hit his vehicle. Local officials suspect the driver of the other vehicle may had been under the influence.
The artist posted a video of himself on a stretcher going into an ambulance after the accident.

In the video, there is severe damage to his car on the front driver’s side.
He reportedly suffered neck injuries. The artist, whose real name is Tauheed Epps, left strip club Booby Trap before the accident. He’s in Miami for Art Basel. Earlier in the week, Epps was at the Atlanta Hawks’ game against the Brooklyn Nets on Dec. 6.

Epps recently released his Welcome 2 Collegrove album with Lil Wayne on Nov. 17. The project features fellow stars 21 Savage, Usher, Rick Ross, Marsha Ambrosius, Vory and Benny The Butcher.
Usher was one of several celebrities who expressed relief once 2 Chainz left the hospital.
“Glad to see you’re good mannn,” he wrote.
A sequel to the 2016 ColleGrove, 2 Chainz called his latest effort alongside the legendary Wayne the 2023 album of the year. Another rap legend, 50 Cent, is narrating the album, a decision made because 2 Chainz thinks he is the best narrator out right now.
