2 Chains and his boys got held up in San Francisco … and the whole thing was caught on tape!

Police say rapper 2 Chainz was robbed Sunday evening in San Francisco before a concert in Oakland, however the MC has seemingly denied the claim on Twitter.

According to San Francisco Sgt. Dennis Toomer, 2 Chainz, real name Tauheed Epps, was walking down a sidewalk with five members of his entourage when they were approached by three men, who robbed him of his cellphone and wallet. One of the men, who can be seen with his arm outstretched taking aim, was reportedly holding a gun. There is also a report that a shot was fired.

Notable quotes …

TMZ: “In San Francisco, even the muggers have flair.”

2 Chainz tweets …

“Rule #1
If a rapper get robbed, people usually post items that has (sic) been taken. Rings, chains, watch, money etc. 2 answer that question.

“Rule #2
if a rapper gets shot he usually go to hospital or dies.”

TMZ: “There’s nothing awesome about being the deadest, hardest thug in the graveyard.”
