"I am looking forward to running at the end of this year or next year. [I'm] waiting to see if I meet all of the qualifications!" he told the Atlanta Journal Constitution in an interview published Tuesday.
It was unclear how serious he was about the claim. In another interview on the topic the day before, 2 Chainz, whose real name is Tauheed Epps, said, "I'm a musician, not a politician."
"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," he told XXL magazine.
The rapper is not a complete stranger to politics - or at least policy debates. Earlier this month, he had a high-profile television showdown with HLN talk-show host Nancy Grace on whether marijuana should be legalized. 2 Chainz was representing the pro-legalization point of view.
If he runs, 2 Chainz would be challenging veteran incumbent Mayor Jack Longino, according to the Journal Constitution. College Park is a relatively small city near Atlanta, with less than 20,000 residents.
