2 Chainz, 46, was rushed to a hospital in Miami, FL in the early morning hours of Saturday after being hit by a car, according to TMZ. The rapper reportedly left a strip club called Booby Trap and was later driving on I-95 and about to exit when a Tesla struck his vehicle. The outlet shared that cops suspect the other driver may have been under the influence at the time of the crash.
Photos of the smashed Tesla were shared by TMZ and it appears the car may have hit the back of 2 Chainz’s vehicle since the damage is on the front left driver’s side. It also appears the impact was intense. 2 Chainz reportedly suffered neck injuries and is in stable condition.
