The biggest story of the night however was that Atlanta based artist 2 Chainz hitting the stage three times. 2 Chainz did the opening lineup for the Hawks after two songs and then hit the stage during halftime. After the game, 2 Chainz did an exclusive extended performance, which included Young Scooter and Cap 1.
