2 Chainz to Run for Mayor of His Childhood Hometown? Find Out What He Said!

Will people soon be addressing 2 Chainz as "Mr. Mayor?"

The 37-year-old rapper, whose real name is Tauheed Epps, told hip-hop magazine XXL and the Atlanta Journal Constitution newspaper this week that he is considering running for mayor of his childhood hometown--College Park, Georgia. He made his comments two weeks after an on-air political debate about pot legalization with outspoken HLN host and legal commentator Nancy Grace went viral online.

"I'm a musician, not a politician," the rapper told XXL. "I'm supposed to be running for mayor in College Park. I got everybody wishing. I'm really gonna do this little mayor thing in College Park. I'm just trying to make sure I have the right qualifications."

"I am looking forward to running at the end of this year or next year," he told the Atlanta Journal Constitution. "[I'm] waiting to see if I meet all of the qualifications!"

Jack Longino has served as College Park's mayor since 1996. The 2015 mayoral elections are set to take place on Nov. 3 and potential candidates have until Sept. 4 to register to run for office. According to the College Park website, they must meet the following criteria: They must be U.S. citizens who have also been residents of College Park for at least one year and are also registered local voters.

2 Chainz is not registered to vote in the same county. Public records show he registered to vote in 2012 in another nearby town where he had owned a home.

Potential political candidates must also have never been convicted of "fraudulent violation of election laws, malfeasance in office or a felony involving moral turpitude," or, if so, they must "provide verification that their rights have been restored." 2 Chainz has never been convicted of such crimes. In 2013, he was arrested at LAX on suspicion of drug possession. During his sentencing, his felony charge was reduced to a misdemeanor, which was to be removed upon completion of an 18-month drug aversion program,  Rolling Stone had reported.

"We'll see where the future lies for me, but you know, everything I do gotta be organic," he added in his interview with XXL.

It's been four months and five days since Mila Kunis gave birth to Wyatt Isabelle Kutcher. "But who's counting?" she asked on TBS' Conan Wednesday. The Jupiter Ascending actress, 31, said life got better after welcoming a daughter with Ashton Kutcher. "It's the greatest thing that's ever happened to me. I've said this and I stand by it," she said. "It is great." Conan O'Brien agreed with Mila's stance, though he was a bit distracted by her chest. "I saw a red carpet picture of you and it looked like Channing Tatum was staring at...because there are changes that the body goes through, and it looks like he's busted for staring at your breasts," the late-night host said. After a picture of Mila and her co-star appeared onscreen, she said, "Hold on! That's awful. Here's the thing...I swear! I know him and I love him. He really wasn't. But, boy, do these things grow! I don'...
