While other people were grilling hamburgers and relaxing by the pool, 2 Chainz spent his 4th of July serving his community. The Atlanta-based rapper transformed his famed Pink Trap House  into a pop-up HIV testing center.

2 Chainz shared the event, which he called “Trap Clinic Community Awareness,” via his Instagram on Tuesday: “Fulton County Board of Health say they pulling up today!! Come get tested and know your status! By the way this is Free99,” he wrote.

By “Free99,” the rapper meant that the tests were free. According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the Trap Clinic provided HIV testing for visitors from 11:00 A.M. to 3:30 P.M., local time. Testing was sponsored by Fulton County Board of Health, Atlanta AIDS and Test Atlanta, and the popup clinic also offered “educational packets, games and giveaways.”

2 Chainz’s Pink Trap House came into being last month after the rapper purchased a house on Howell Mill Road in Atlanta and painted it bright pink, says the Journal-Constitution. The house was originally intended to promote 2 Chainz’s latest album, “Pretty Girls Like Trap Music,” but has since evolved into an Atlanta landmark featuring an art gallery of paintings of “other ATL landmarks.”

2 Chainz also created a virtual reality experience, where fans can explore the Pink Trap House and enjoy the house’s main attraction: a strip club called “The Jiggly Room.”
