2 Chainz Unboxes Spotify Billions Plaque for “F**kin’ Problems,” Says Lineup Won’t Reunite

Atlanta rapper 2 Chainz has unboxed his Spotify Billions Club plaque for the 2012 track “F**kin’ Problems,” marking the song’s surpassing of one billion streams on the platform.

In a video circulating on social media this week, the rapper, whose real name is Tauheed Epps, displayed the black plaque featuring a silver Spotify logo and the stream count while reflecting on the collaboration.

“So you got a billion streams, you can’t even pay a billion dollars for none of these people to be on the same record again. That sh*t crazy… I’ll take it,” he said.

The song, officially titled “Fuckin’ Problems,” was released on October 24, 2012, as the second single from A$AP Rocky’s debut studio album Long. Live. A$AP. It features verses and contributions from A$AP Rocky (born Rakim Mayers), Drake (born Aubrey Drake Graham), 2 Chainz and Kendrick Lamar (born Kendrick Lamar Duckworth).

Produced by Noah “40” Shebib with Drake credited as co-producer under the name C. Papi, the track became a commercial hit, peaking at No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earning a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Song.

Epps, 49, was born September 12, 1977, in College Park, Georgia. He first gained notice as one half of the duo Playaz Circle before launching a solo career that includes multiple platinum singles and a Grammy win for his feature on Chance the Rapper’s “No Problem.”

Mayers, 37, was born October 3, 1988, in Harlem, New York, and rose through the A$AP Mob collective. Graham, 39, was born October 24, 1986, in Toronto and is one of the most streamed artists in Spotify history. Duckworth, 39, was born June 17, 1987, in Compton, California, and has won multiple Grammys along with the Pulitzer Prize for Music.

Streaming data shows the track has accumulated more than 1.04 billion plays on Spotify. The Billions Club plaque is the streaming service’s recognition for songs that reach that threshold.

Videos of the unboxing, shared by accounts including @Kurrco and @wavecheckers on X, show Epps examining the plaque and commenting on the difficulty of assembling the same four artists for a new recording today.

The 2012 collaboration remains a notable example of early-2010s hip-hop crossovers that brought together artists from different regional scenes and career stages at the time.
