A broken leg? Surgery? They only make 2 Chainz more powerful.

Despite advice from his doctor, the rapper launched his tour in Tucson, Arizona, on Wednesday night -- sitting atop a custom pink wheelchair. He'd had surgery for a fractured leg just 10 days before.

On Instagram, 2 Chainz wrote that he interpreted the injury as a sign from God that he needed to get creative. "So after all the morphine and pains meds wore off," he said, "I called management and said somebody find me a "pink wheelchair " I can't let my fans down besides I'm passionate about this shit!!"

Obviously, it is a trap wheelchair. (Click through the Instagram album to see it in full glory.)

We imagine that Dave Grohl, who performed atop a custom throne after breaking his leg in 2015, is very proud.
