Joe Budden discussed Jeezy and Jeannie Mai’s ongoing divorce during the latest episode of his podcast on Saturday. In doing so, he addressed Mai’s controversial resurfaced comments on refusing to date Black men. Budden says that news of the split “saddens” him, but he’s not surprised.
“Y’all do know that before she got married, there was that clip from her show saying she wouldn’t date a Black guy, right?” Joe Budden asked his co-hosts. “At home is where you’re going to be true to your beliefs, whatever they are. I don’t know what happened between them, but that comment, and him filing… I hope it would have worked. It saddens me that it didn’t work, because they were cute as a couple. But I’m not surprised.”

As for the full comments, Mai had been speaking about her relationship with her previous husband, Freddy Harteis, during an episode of The Real. “I loved Black guys, but for me, dark meat on the side, white [meat] keeps me mean and lean. I used to date Black men, I think they’re attractive. But what I decided to stick to is, because it just kept me happiest, was my man Freddy who happens to be white,” she said at the time. Jeezy filed for divorce in Fulton County Superior Court in Georgia on September 14. He noted the marriage as being “irretrievably broken.” He is seeking joint legal custody of his and Mai’s one-year-old child.
Joe Budden Discusses Jeezy’s Divorce
Page Six reports that Mai is “devastated” by the situation. “[Jeannie] deeply loves Jeezy, and she wants to work things out. She did not get married to get divorced. This was not a part of the plan. This is not how she ever imagined things would go down,” a source told the outlet. News of the divorce comes after the release of Jeezy’s new memoir, Adversity for Sale: Ya Gotta Believe. Be on the lookout for further updates on their relationship on HotNewHipHop.
If you have been tapped into the world of celebrity culture and gossip, then you have probably heard about Jeezy and Jeannie Mai. The two are reportedly heading towards a split as the former filed for divorce last week. Subsequently, there has been all sorts of chatter as to why they are breaking up, in the first place. Overall, it seems like lifestyle differences have gotten in the way of their union. Moreover, there are some who are going on the offensive, claiming that Jeannie Mai was a bad partner, despite not having evidence to suggest this.
Since the reports of their divorce, it has been stated that Jeannie Mai is fighting hard for their marriage. In fact, it seems like she may have felt that this was a huge surprise. However, she wants to stay with Jeezy, and seems ready to do everything it takes to get him back. As for the rapper, well, there may be some hope yet for his relationship. While promoting his book, it appeared as though he was wearing his wedding ring. Moreover, he wasn’t hiding this, because he posted a picture to Instagram.
Fans immediately took to the comments section of the post to discuss whether or not he is still with Mai. Additionally, some believe this is a sign that he is also going to fight for his relationship. At the end of the day, it would be difficult to cut off a relationship that involves a marriage and a child. It is rare to see people fight for their relationships these days, however, Jeezy certainly has his fans hopeful for some sort of reconciliation.
This is still a developing story, and no one knows for sure what is going on. Let us know what you think of all this, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will always keep you informed.
Gisele Bündchen has lamented that her marriage to Tom Brady ended in divorce during her first major interview since the split. “[Our split was] not what I dreamed of and what I hoped for. My parents have been married for 50 years, and I really wanted that to happen. But I think you have to accept, you know, sometimes that the way you are in your 20s, it’s sometimes you grow together, sometimes you grow apart,” the Brazilian model told CBS.
Furthermore, Bündchen opened up about the struggles she had faced since splitting from the NFL legend. “It’s been very tough on my family. It’s been a lot — in every area of my life. I feel like whenever it rains, it pours. With all the different twists and turns that life takes, all we can do is the best we can given what happens in our surroundings,” she told PEOPLE in a separate interview.

Since the divorce, it seems as though Brady has eyed more casual romantic company. While linked to her for some months now, Brady is reportedly not exclusive with Russian model Irina Shayk. Per sources at Page Six, Brady has been spotted wining and dining other women in Miami and New York in recent weeks. Furthermore, another claimed that “Brady is not interested in being serious with anyone right now. His priorities are his kids and his business interests. There will be more supermodels in his future.” Brady is primarily based in Miami but maintains a residence in NYC.
Meanwhile, Page Six has also dropped their fair share of headlines about Shayk herself. Per the outlet, Shayk doesn’t see the former NFL pro as a long-term romantic option. According to a source, Shayk’s end goal is to marry ex-boyfriend Bradley Cooper, with whom she shares a six-year-old daughter. This comes after a trip the pair took together in late August. During that Italian vacation, Shayk was seen posing topless. “Years have been put into the relationship,” the source said.
Amidst the cheating rumors and allegations, Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez have officially ended their two-year marriage. The pop star and real estate agent set out on a whirlwind romance that began in early 2020 and ended this year. Numerous milestones and public adoration marked Grande and Gomez’s relationship timeline. As they have parted ways, fans and followers have been left speculating about the reasons behind their separation. Here’s a look back at their relationship timeline, from when they first met to their separation.
Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez’s relationship began in early 2020 when they were introduced by mutual friends. They hit it off right away, igniting the love story that captured the media’s attention. In February 2020, their affectionate bond first went viral when Grande and a “mystery man” were spotted at a California bar. Grande made it clear that she wanted to keep their relationship private and lowkey. In March, it was reported that the pair had been dating since January of that year and had chosen to quarantine together in Grande’s Los Angeles residence.
In May 2020, the couple made their relationship public when Gomez appeared in the music video for Grande’s duet with Justin Bieber, “Stuck With U.” The video featured couples and celebrities dancing from the confines of their homes during the COVID-19 pandemic. At the video’s conclusion, Grande and Gomez shared a sweet embrace and kiss, confirming their relationship. The couple’s public debut in the video further solidified their status as one of the music industry’s most beloved couples during that time.
In December 2020, Grande surprised her fans by announcing her engagement to Gomez on Instagram. The engagement announcement received widespread attention and excitement as they largely kept their relationship private. She posted a series of photos of them together, along with a close-up of her stunning diamond and pearl ring. The jeweler who designed the ring with Gomez said that the pearl was very special to Grande, as it was from her late grandfather’s tie pin.
In May 2021, Grande and Gomez exchanged vows in a secret ceremony at their California home. The secrecy surrounding the ceremony allowed them to exchange vows away from the public eye. Despite being a small gathering with fewer than 20 guests, reports from the event emphasized the overwhelming sense of joy and love in the air. The lowkey wedding reflected the couple’s desire for a private and intimate celebration of their love.
Despite the initial happiness surrounding their marriage, rumors of trouble surfaced in July 2021. Grande addressed these speculations in a TikTok video, explaining the absence of her wedding ring as routine cleaning. This initially reaffirmed her commitment to the marriage. However, later on, Grande was spotted in public again without her ring, fueling the rumors.
Rumors persisted amidst reports of Grande’s growing bond with her Wicked co-star, Ethan Slater, while she was in London filming. Slater, previously married to actress Samantha Massell, had separated from his wife in July 2021. Meanwhile, Gomez was also moving on with his life. He was spotted stepping out in public with model Bella Hadid in September 2023.
Sept. 2023: Ariana Grande & Dalton Gomez’s Final Chapter
On September 18, 2023, the inevitable occurred as Ariana Grande officially filed for divorce, citing “irreconcilable differences” as grounds for dissolution. Dalton Gomez filed almost immediately after her. His response filing essentially mirrors Grande’s divorce documents, both listing their date of separation as February 20, 2023. They had a prenuptial agreement in place and reportedly had worked everything out before going to the courthouse. Grande and Gomez’s love story, marked by highs and lows, reflects the complexity of love and life in modern celebrity relationships.
Funky Dineva claims to know several of the leading factors in Jeezy’s decision to divorce Jeannie Mai. In a video shared to Instagram, this week, Dineva reported that distance between the two, a lack of privacy on social media, and several more issues contributed to the split.
“I had to call up to Altanta, baby, and find out what all the hell was going on because I know people who are in their circle,” Dineva began, before admitting that the reason for their breakup is “nothing salacious.” They also cited multiple members of Mai’s family staying at their house for an extended period of time as taking a toll on the relationship, among other topics.

Jeezy filed for divorce in Fulton County Superior Court, last Thursday, and is seeking joint custody of their daughter in the separation. The two already have a prenuptial agreement in place; however, Mai reportedly plans to contest it. Jeezy has asked the court honor to the terms of his agreement. They signed the contract before their marriage in 2021. “The parties entered into Prenuptial Agreement dated March 26, 2021, that was duly signed and executed by both Petitioner and Respondent […] and resolves all financial issues incident to this divorce. The Prenuptial Agreement should be enforced and the terms set forth therein made the final Order of this Court,” court documents cited by HipHopDX read. Check out Funky Dineva’s comments on their divorce below.
The next hearing in Jeezy and Jeannie Mai’s divorce will go down on October 19. Be on the lookout for future updates on the separation on HotNewHipHop.
Jeannie Mai admitted that she has a “really hot temper” with Jeezy during an interview on the Lovers and Friends Podcast, which is resurfacing online amid the rapper’s filing for divorce. Jeezy is seeking joint custody of their daughter in the separation.
During the Lovers and Friends clip, Mai explains: “I have a really hot temper. Not a lot of people know this; it’s just something in my family…but I didn’t notice it in myself until I was with Jeezy.” She was previously married to Freddy Harteis for 10 years. From there, she explained how her temper affected the relationship: “It has to do with the type of relationship you have and the type of respect you have for that person to mirror things back to you.”

Mai continued: “Here’s a person who is my equal, and when I would spew some of my hold habits and he was like, ‘Uh uh, like, that’s not flying here’ and also it would trigger him to come back at me with things where I was like, ‘Who the f—k do you think you are?’ But I was triggering him, so through work, we learned that we both have certain habits.” Check out the full clip below.
Jeezy filed for divorce in Fulton County Superior Court, last Thursday. The two already have a prenuptial agreement in place. They married back in March of 2021 and welcomed their first daughter, last year. Amid reports of his divorce from Mai, Jeezy shared a series of photos on Instagram with a caption that many viewers interpreted as a dig at his soon-to-be ex-wife. “Too focused on who I’m becoming to focus on who’s not coming with me,” Jeezy captioned the post.

It’s been several days since news of Jeannie Mai and Jeezy’s divorce first broke, but still, the internet has plenty to say about the situation. The mother of one has been under attack for seemingly fetishizing Black men in a resurfaced clip, and social media sleuths haven’t had trouble finding other evidence of trouble brewing for her and her ex. According to Entertainment Tonight, sources have revealed that the reason for the pair’s split has to do with their values.
“They had different views, and each felt like their needs weren’t being completely met,” an insider dished to the outlet, specifically citing “family expectations” as a driving factor in the divorce. Interestingly, an old interview found Mai discussing how she and Jeezy trigger one another, leading some to suggest they could’ve never lasted long-term. “I didn’t notice that I had a hot temper until I got with [him],” the socialite previously shared of her second marriage.
From the sounds of things, the “Holy Ghost” hitmaker and his co-parent mirrored each other in difficult ways and certainly weren’t afraid to call the other out on their toxic behaviour. This obviously sounds like a good thing for anyone naturally inclined to self-reflection and growth but for the average person – especially one with the hectic schedule of a celebrity – it’s not always ideal in a marriage. “He never told me to fix my temper,” the 44-year-old noted, adding that personally strived to heal that part of herself to avoid losing a relationship. Ultimately things didn’t work out in the couple’s favour, but at least they can take any lessons learned into their next endeavours.
Amid news of Jeannie Mai and Jeezy’s divorce, more past interviews with The Real host have fans asking if the signs were hiding in plain sight. An astrologer once told Mai that her marriage to the rapper wouldn’t be her last, and time will surely tell how accurate his prediction is. Read more about that at the link below, and let us know who you think she should link up with next in the comments.
Last year, Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady got a divorce during the Fall. Overall, this came as a surprise to a lot of fans. However, there were some people out there who saw it coming as Brady had gone back on his word to retire from the game of football. Whatever the case, these two had been together for a very long time, and it was surprising to see them part. The divorce proceedings were extremely quick and it is clear that the two are still cordial.
Since that time, Tom Brady has started dating Irina Shayk. However, it seems like he is currently in some sort of love triangle with Bradley Cooper. For some, this has proven to be entirely bizarre. Either way, Gisele has had to bear witness to it, and you can imagine that it has been a tough world for her to navigate. In a recent interview with People, the model explained just how tough the last calendar year has been.

“It’s been very tough on my family. It’s been a lot — in every area of my life,” Bundchen said. “I feel like whenever it rains, it pours. With all the different twists and turns that life takes, all we can do is the best we can given what happens in our surroundings.” This is a pretty good philosophy to have, all things considered. Relationships come and go, and all you can do is keep going.

Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez are officially filing for divorce. According to TMZ, both are simultaneously filing while citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split. Sources tell the outlet that the former couple previously agreed on details of the divorce and Grande plans to hand over a check to Gomez.
The news follows suit with a report from PEOPLE in July that noted Grande and Gomez were “taking their time together to slowly work through the details of the agreement privately.” A source further told the outlet: “They’ve been really caring and respectful of one another through every step of this process.”

News of Grande and Gomez’s divorce comes after the singer’s romance with her Wicked co-star Ethan Slater, earlier this year, became public. The two got together while Slater was still married to his high school classmate Lilly Jay, although they were reportedly already separated. The two married in 2018 and welcomed a child in January. A source for PEOPLE said of the affair: “They are doing their best to balance the fact that they are in the public eye with the desire to be respectful to all parties involved. They are just trying to navigate their new relationship in private.” In addition to that romance, Grande left her wedding ring behind while attending the Wimbledon 2023 Men’s Final back in July.
Before her marriage to Gomez, Grande was engaged to Pete Davidson, but they broke up after just five months together in October 2018. She also famously dated Mac Miller from 2016 through 2018. They separated just months prior to Miller’s fatal overdose.
It was recently revealed that Jeezy’s filed for a divorce from his wife of two years, Jeannie Mai. The news came as a surprise to most fans, who have seen Mai making loving posts about the rapper in recent weeks. Reportedly, the couple has a prenup, and Jeezy’s seeking joint custody of their 1-year-old daughter. News of the duo’s split has prompted a lot of chatter online, and social media users were quick to point out the latest post Jeezy made to Instagram.
The post, made on the same day as the filing, features photos of the 45-year-old posing with a Mercedes. His caption for the carousel, however, is what’s gotten fans’ attention, for the possibility that it refers to his now-ex. “Too focused on who I’m becoming to focus on who’s not coming with me,” the caption reads. Instagram commenters are calling out the coincidence, and noting the chance that there was some bad blood between Jeezy and Mai ahead of the filing. The pair were reportedly already separated, which they didn’t give fans any previous indication of.
Internet sleuths have also recently dug up an old clip of Mai sitting down with a psychic, who seemed to suggest that her marriage to Jeezy wouldn’t last. In the clip, he reads her palm, noting a line that indicates her second marriage. She asks him if he sees another one in her future, and he takes a noticeably long pause. “This is a very important question,” she reminds him.
He then tells her that the odds are stacked in her favor, but claims there’s a chance she’ll marry again. “No, I just want this one. I don’t want another marriage,” she responded at the time. What are your thoughts about Jeezy’s cryptic post? What about the psychic’s apparent prediction?
