Rap star 2 Chainz says he’s sad as hell to see the Atlanta Falcons trade his good friend Julio Jones … but tells TMZ Sports he’s still gonna support his guy by coppin’ his new Titans jersey!!
Of course, the “Grey Area” MC is a diehard Dirty Birds fan … and has been tight with JJ over the years.
Now that the Falcons are entering their first season since 2011 without Julio … we had to ask how 2 Chainz is holding up.
“I’m bummed out about it, man,” Julio told us outside Amiri on Rodeo Drive. “I’m a Falcons fan, but “I’m a Julio fan. He’s a great friend of mine.”
“I’m a huge Julio fan,” he added. “Somebody today called me about the suites up there at the Falcons. I don’t know how I feel yet.”
2 Chainz explains Falcons fans had a strong relationship with Julio … which is why it stings to see him go.
But, good news for Julio — 2 Chainz says he’s gonna be sure to get Jones’ new #2 jersey with the Titans … after all, the number couldn’t be more perfect.
We also chatted about the Hawks and just how much money he’s been making off their wins … and how much he threw down for Friday night’s game!!
