Jeezy says he’s found “peace” with ex-wife Jeannie Mai following their split.
In a recent interview on The Breakfast Club, the rapper spoke candidly about where things stand after their highly publicized divorce and custody battle.
“I’m all about understanding. I’m all about what’s best for everybody, the greater good,” he 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.”
Jeezy’s sense of peace comes a year after his split from Jeannie Mai dominated headlines. In divorce documents filed last April, Mai accused the rapper of child neglect and claimed there were at least four incidents of physical abuse during their marriage.
“[Jeezy] has a history of threats, violence, and bodily harm,” the documents stated. “[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, but as one can see from the examples of abuse [Mai] endured during the marriage that has not turned out to be the case.”
Jeezy strongly denied the claims in a statement to Complex, calling them false and disturbing.
“The allegations are not only false, but also deeply disturbing, especially coming from someone I loved,” he said. “This malicious attempt to tarnish my character and disrupt my family is ridiculous. 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.”
Earlier this year, Jeannie Mai opened up about her journey as a single mom on Sherri. “Shoutout to all the moms out there, especially the single moms, because it’s never what you picture,” she said. “You don’t ideally think to have a child and have that whole responsibility to yourself. But I realized that the gift in being a single mom is that you learn how to trust yourself.”
