Jeezy is riding the waves of relief and joy following his divorce from Jeannie Mai, stating plainly that life feels ‘amazing’ right now.
The rapper, known for his hit ‘Soul Survivor,’ opened up during an appearance on The Breakfast Club. He expressed how liberating it feels to move past the acrimonious legal battles that were a hallmark of his recent divorce. With a sense of refreshing candor, Jeezy noted, “I tell myself this every day, ‘Man, this is amazing.'”
For Jeezy, the sense of freedom is more than just a personal victory. He shared that he values peace, joy, and the ability to express himself fully. “I don’t want no enemies or issues, I just want peace, joy, and freedom,” he emphasized. “Freedom is everything. Especially when you’re talking about art, culture—you’re talking your mind… This is the season of me. I’m putting myself first at all costs.”
However, the journey to this newfound peace hasn’t been without its challenges. Just a month prior, Jeezy was embroiled in legal trouble. He was threatened with jail time over allegations of breaching their divorce agreement, specifically concerning the failure to transfer the title of a 2021 Range Rover to Mai.
The court proceedings also saw him trying to recover legal fees from Jeannie Mai, but this request was denied. A judge warned him that any future non-compliance could lead to sanctions, including potential incarceration. It’s a tense backdrop to his current sense of calm and clarity.
Despite the legal wranglings, Jeezy and Mai’s divorce was finalized last summer amidst allegations ranging from domestic abuse to issues surrounding the custody of their daughter. These disputes have been far from pretty, with Mai contending that Jeezy failed to uphold certain financial obligations agreed upon in their settlement.
According to reports, Mai claimed Jeezy didn’t pay childcare costs, deposit significant funds into an account for their daughter, or transfer car titles and cover some months of rent. Jeezy, on the other hand, argued that verifying lease agreements was problematic and accused Mai of attempting to tarnish his reputation by leaking details to the media.
Jeezy offered his explanations, citing slow processes at the DMV for the car titles and even blaming an “act of God” for damage to one of the vehicles. Ultimately, he sought compensation for the $20k in legal fees he accumulated while defending himself.
While these issues seem like a distant memory now, they were resolved only after persistent back-and-forths. Jeezy’s latest comments suggest that despite the past turmoil, he’s ready to move forward and focus on his personal growth.
Jeezy’s newfound sense of freedom and peace seems to mark a new chapter in his life. Though the road was fraught with legal challenges, he’s emerged with a focus on self-care and artistic freedom. As he embraces this new season, Jeezy is clearly prioritizing his own well-being and peace of mind.
