Can you tell me what the nature of your relationship with G.O.O.D. is? 2 Chainz:Â Iâm not officially signed, paperwork-wise, to G.O.O.D. Music. But I have a great rapport with âYe. He called me before Watch the Throne came out. Iâm an only child. Iâve got trust issues. So I donât have a best friend, a brother, sisterânothing. Stuff was happening in my life that I couldnât tell nobody. I didnât have anybody in my life that I could tell, like, ââYe just called me.â Iâve talked to âYe 1,000 times about trying to make this situation work for the both of us, so it wonât feel like anyone is getting used or anything. Iâm in a position in life where I like talking about things like that. I came from a situation with DTP, being under Luda, where I got a phobia. Sometimes when an artist signs another artist, theyâre so worried about themselves. And with âYe, he helps everybody.
