2 Chainz uses ugly Christmas sweaters for good

2 Chainz used the profits from 2015’s ugly Christmas sweaters to pay a single mother’s rent for a year.
The Christmas season is fast approaching, and with it, endless distractions from the events of this shit-heap year. While many prepare for frivolity and general mindlessness, 2 Chainz is taking a different route, and making good on our belief that he is indeed a sweet angel.
The American rapper has just launched his 2016 line of “Dabbin’ Santa” Christmas sweaters, and the proceeds are going towards helping families in need through 2 Chainz’s T.R.U. Foundation. He announced the return of the campaign in an Instagram post, saying, “Bout to change some lives. If you have a situation or know a family who’s in a bad place… you can submit stories on my website 2chainzshop.com. I’m looking for families to help. Each sweater SOLD is going to help a family.”
Last year’s campaign saw over $2 million contributed to families in Atlanta, where T.R.U. is based, and across the US. Those proceeds weren’t just spent on programming and campaigning; they went towards concrete change, including paying rent for and furnishing the apartment of a disabled veteran and single mother. What a gem that 2 Chainz is. Check out video of that below:
Check out the sweaters at 2 Chainz’s web shop. They’re set to go up in price next week, so act quick to contribute to some real change this Christmas instead of the same meaningless capitalist bullshit you always pull.
