Rapper Jeezy is finally speaking out—and he’s not holding back.
In his first major interview since his headline-making divorce from TV host Jeannie Mai, the Atlanta rapper is setting the record straight, expressing that despite the painful allegations and public scrutiny, he’s found peace in the aftermath of the storm.
“I’m all about understanding. I’m all about what’s best for everybody—the greater good,” Jeezy shared. “I don’t want no enemies, I don’t want no issues, I just want peace, I just want joy, and I just want freedom. I love my freedom.”
But that peace didn’t come easy.
The Divorce That Shook Hollywood
The once-glamorous love story between Jeezy (born Jay Jenkins) and Jeannie Mai quickly unraveled in the public eye. Fans were shocked when the power couple, who tied the knot in March 2021 and welcomed their daughter Monaco in January 2022, announced their split in 2023. What followed was a barrage of accusations, denials, and legal back-and-forth that rocked their once-pristine image.

Last April, Jeannie Mai filed shocking court documents accusing Jeezy of child neglect and physical abuse—a move that instantly dominated entertainment headlines.
The Allegations That Made Headlines
In her legal filing, Mai claimed that Jeezy had a “history of threats, violence, and bodily harm.” She alleged that despite believing he had changed, she was misled.
“Mai mistakenly believed Jeezy when he convinced her prior to their marriage that he was a changed man, and his past was in his past,” the court documents read. “But as one can see from the examples of abuse Mai endured during the marriage, that has not turned out to be the case.”
These allegations sent shockwaves through social media, with fans and critics taking sides in a highly publicized court battle.
Jeezy Denies All Claims
Jeezy wasted no time responding with a strongly worded statement, completely denying the accusations and expressing deep hurt at what he called a “malicious attempt” to destroy his name.
“The allegations are not only false but also deeply disturbing, especially coming from someone I loved,” he said in a public statement. “This malicious attempt to tarnish my character and disrupt my family is ridiculous.”
He continued:
“It’s disheartening to witness the manipulation and deceit at play, and at this time, my main concern is being an active father to our daughter as I continue to fight for court-mandated joint custody. Rest assured, the truth will prevail through the proper legal channels.”
Jeezy has consistently emphasized his desire to be a present and engaged father throughout the court proceedings.
Finding Peace Amid the Chaos
Despite the emotional toll of the divorce and the very public drama, Jeezy appears to be focused on healing, growth, and peace.
His latest interview marks a turning point in how he wants to be seen—not just as a rapper or celebrity embroiled in scandal, but as a man prioritizing his mental wellness and personal evolution.
“I don’t want no enemies… I just want peace, I just want joy, and I just want freedom,” he said again during the interview, reinforcing the message that he’s not looking back—only forward.
His Focus Now? Fatherhood
Jeezy has made it crystal clear that his daughter Monaco is his top priority. Despite the ugly custody fight, he has fought relentlessly for joint custody, emphasizing that his relationship with his child is sacred and worth protecting at all costs.
“My main concern is being an active father to our daughter,” Jeezy reiterated.
Fans have praised the rapper for continuing to show up for Monaco, even amid personal heartbreak and legal disputes.
Fans React: “We Just Want the Truth”
Social media has been flooded with reactions since Jeezy’s statement and latest interview. While some are siding with Jeannie Mai, others are expressing support for the rapper, applauding his composure and focus on peace.
On X (formerly Twitter), one fan wrote:
“Whether you believe Jeezy or Jeannie, this whole situation is heartbreaking. The child deserves peace.”
Another added:
“Jeezy’s taking the high road. That’s real growth.”
Lesson in Love, Loss, and Rebuilding
The Jeezy-Jeannie Mai breakup is more than just another celebrity split—it’s a lesson in how quickly public opinion can shift, how deeply personal issues can become tabloid fodder, and how both parties must now live with the emotional and public fallout.
While the truth of their marriage may ultimately be determined in court, Jeezy’s latest message is crystal clear: he’s done with the drama.
“I just want peace.”
