Atlanta Fire Department called to restaurant backed by hip-hop star 2Chainz

ATLANTA — The Atlanta Fire Department responded to the Esco Seafood restaurant Tuesday afternoon for reports of a kitchen fire. The restaurant is located in the busy Edgewood area of Atlanta.

Fire crews quickly arrived at the scene to find heavy smoke billowing from the restaurant’s roof. The smoky conditions spread to the basement, greatly reducing visibility for crews at the scene. Firefighters were able to extinguish all fire from the building.

There were no reported injuries.

The Esco Seafood restaurant is just one of the businesses owned by rapper Tauheed Epps, known as 2Chainz and business partner Mychel “Snoop” Dillard.

There was no word if the rapper was at the restaurant at the time of the fire.
