However, they didn’t go through with the wedding due to their busy schedules with work and raising the kids. So on May 7, 2018, the rapper shocked everyone — including Kesha — when he proposed at the Met Gala. 2 Chainz got down on one knee on the red carpet in New York City and pulled out a massive diamond ring. Kesha, with tears in her eyes, happily accepted her beau’s second proposal. “It’s crazy, he just gave me this! So happy! I love it,” she told E! News after the romantic moment.
Her wedding was an extravagant affair.
2 Chainz and Kesha’s wedding took place at the Gianni Versace Mansion in Miami on August 18, 2018, just a few months after the Met Gala proposal. It was definitely a day to remember, thanks in part to the white Bengal tiger in a cage that shockingly showed up to the venue with a caretaker shortly before the elaborate ceremony. Yep, extravagant for sure.
Kesha walked down the aisle in a mermaid wedding dress to John Legend‘s “All of Me.” For the reception, she wore a gorgeous red gown, while 2 Chainz rocked a gold blazer. The star-studded guest list included Kim Kardashian and then-husband Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Alicia Keys, Swizz Beatz, and Gucci Mane.
