2 Chainz is TRU FOUNDATION

Christmas time brings out family, presents, and lets not forget ugly sweaters!!! If you live in America than you must have seen a ugly sweater at least one time this season. One rapper/entrepreneur decided to capitalize on this idea of ugly sweaters. Rapper 2 Chainz was pretty busy this holiday season. Prior to the holidays the dab dance had been taking over dance floors, football games, and social media. A dance originated by the rap group Migos went mainstream much like the superman dance did back in 2009 by rapper Soulja Boy. 2 chainz took the dance and old saint nick and put them together to form "Dabbin Santa" and this was the sweater to have!

The sweater "Dabbin Santa" was seen everywhere on social media and tv networks. How much did entrepreneur 2 chainz make you may be asking? Check this out: 2 million dollars! Not bad for a holiday idea right?! But listen to what he did with the proceeds...

In the spirit of giving 2 chainz took the proceeds and helped a disabled veteran in ways she could never imagine. 2 chainz and his foundation called TRU Foundation paid her rent for an ENTIRE Year. Also, put a bedroom and some furniture into the house as well. 2 chainz didnt stop there though. Another family had gone through a tough time and he was able to purchase a minivan for them. His goal for his foundation is to give back not just during the holidays but 365 days a year. Big s/o to 2 chainz!

Its a great thing when we as people are able to help one another when times are tough. Use 2 chainz as an example and try to help someone out today.
