In a surprising revelation, hip-hop star 2 Chainz has disclosed that he was banned from smoking weed while collaborating with legendary rapper Eminem in the studio. During a recent appearance on the podcast Club Shay Shay, the Atlanta artist recounted his experience working on tracks like “Chloraseptic” and “Kyrie & Luca,” shedding light on the strict environment surrounding Eminem’s creative process.

2 Chainz shared that it wasn’t Eminem himself who enforced the smoking ban, but rather his team, who were overly protective of the rap icon. “When I did work with Eminem, I couldn’t smoke in there,” he explained. The rapper found humor in the situation, explaining how he enjoyed his own vibe while creating music in Malibu, only to face restrictions as he returned to the booth. “I come back in to do my verse and the doors closed and I’m in the booth smoking, and I see M out there,” he noted, revealing the tension in the air as Eminem’s team prevented him from entering the booth.

This candid admission not only highlights the meticulous nature of Eminem’s team but also underscores the high stakes of collaborating with one of hip-hop’s most revered figures. As fans and industry insiders react to 2 Chainz’s story, it raises questions about the lengths to which artists will go to protect their creative environments.
