2 Chainz to Perform at NBA Fan Appreciation Day in Abu Dhabi With Global Game Returning to Middle East

When the NBA returns to Abu Dhabi for the Global Game, the association will be bringing 2 Chainz to the UAE with it.

The Atlanta rapper is slated to perform at NBA Fan Appreciation Day at Etihad Arena on Oct. 5. In addition to the concert, there will be three-point and dunk contests as well as appearances from players on the Boston Celtics and Denver Nuggets.

NBA legends such as Kevin Garnett, Muggsy Bogues, Shaquille O’Neal, Derek Fisher, Mitch Richmond and more will be in attendance.

Fan Appreciation Day will be bookended by a pair of pre-season games featuring the defending NBA Finals champion Boston Celtics and Denver Nuggets on Oct. 4 and Oct. 6. Both contests will also be held at Etihad Arena on Yas Island.

2 Chainz and the NBA have enjoyed a fruitful partnership over the years. Chainz suited up in the 2016 NBA All-Star Celebrity Game, and then participated in a shooting contest with Shaq at the 2019 All-Star Game in Charlotte. His basketball reputation took a hit when he and Lil Baby lost a game of two-on-two at Bleacher Report‘s Open Run against Jack Harlow and Quavo in 2021.

As a Georgia resident, 2 Chainz is a courtside staple on celebrity row alongside his son, Halo, at Atlanta Hawks games, so expect to see plenty of him at State Farm Arena this season.

The Drench God hasn’t released any singles to streaming services in 2024. His last release came with the Welcome 2 Collegrove joint project alongside Lil Wayne, which arrived in November 2023 and reached No. 20 on the Billboard 200.
