Ballers get the chicks. And no one knows that better than Chingy, the 24-year-old St. Louis rapper whose sophomore album, PowerBallin', is a shout-out to the rampant success he earned after his debut, Jackpot, went triple-platinum. Even his name is a nod to his big-baller status. "Chingy was just a saying that me and my homeboys used to say for 'money.' So I decided to make it my stage name," he says. Sprawled out on a bed at the House of Blues Hotel in Chicago, Chingy, still amped from his Lingerie Bowl half-time performance, talked to Playboy.com about partying with Snoop Dogg, groupie threesomes and much more.

1. Since the huge success of Jackpot, is it easier to get the girls?

Chingy: I really never had a problem getting women but now it makes it a little more easier. I guess they know who I am and like my music, and they see me on TV and all that, so when they see me in person it's exciting to them.

2. Do you have crazy groupies?

Chingy: Yeah, you know, a lot of groupies. Some will take their panties off and try to give them to me. One time at the end of a show, one came by and lifted her skirt up and had no panties on, showing all her goods. [Laughs]

3. Do you prefer when girls wear thongs or no panties at all?

Chingy: I like women in thongs, but no panties is cool.

4. Have you ever hooked up with a groupie?

Chingy: I guess I'd say yeah. Two girls at the same time that were groupies....
