Jeannie Mai hit The Jennifer Hudson Show and opened up about her divorce from Jeezy. During the episode, Mai revealed the divorce request blindsided her and “was gutted” at finding out with the rest of the world.
“Today, it’s about picking up the pieces,” Mai said. “It’s about discovering me and being a mom to the best blessing in my life, my little girl.”
Jeannie Mai says during their marriage, Jeezy cheated on her. TMZ obtained legal documents that laid out accusations of cheating by Jeezy.
Mai’s attorney notes, “Wife reserves the right to amend this counterclaim to add other grounds for divorce, but which Wife does not wish to specify herein at this time in the hope this matter can be resolved without having to disclose such conduct publicly.”
The docs also highlight how the Prenuptial Agreement is void regarding cheating.
“Wife further shows that the Court should enforce Paragraph 8 of the Prenuptial Agreement regarding infidelity which provides, in pertinent part, that in the event that either party engages in sexual relations, an emotional relationship, or is emotionally or sexually suggestive in communication with a third party via all forms of electronic communications, including but not limited to texting, sexting, Facetiming, social media and/or Direct Messages, shall result in a significant financial penalty upon the adulterous party …”
Previously, fans have been looking at Jeezy and his lyrics and wondering if he is giving insights into his pending divorce from Jeannie Mai. On the new double album, I Might Forgive… But I Don’t Forget, Sno has a single titled “Don’t Cheat,” which he attempts to clear his name on infidelity.

She added, “And turning off everything really helps. I tuned into the voices that I needed to hear, that’s me and the truth.”
Jeezy’s former childhood friend Clem is in the belief of Jeannie Mai’s claims in recent court docs that the rapper cheated. “Your wife just came out and said you cheated on her,” Clem said. “And I believe her because I know you. He’s not loyal, it’s all good.”

He added that his current aim is “to take care of myself, and to love myself, and to be in the best situation.”

Jeezy Files For Divorce From ‘The Real’ Host Jeannie Mai
Jeezy and Jeannie Mai are reportedly calling it quits. The once-wedded couple is now filing for divorce, ending their two-and-a-half-year marriage.
Jeezy & Jeanie Call It Quits
On September 14, after two and a half years of marriage, Jeezy reportedly filed for divorce from Jeannie Mai in Fulton County Superior Court. The documents state that their marriage is “irretrievably broken” without hope for reconciliation.
In addition, the Atlanta rapper is seeking joint legal custody of their daughter, Monaco.
The couple tied the knot in March 2021, with Jeezy sharing intimate moments from their wedding day on his social media platforms. Shortly after, Jeezy and The Real host announced they were expecting their first child together. In January 2022, they welcomed their daughter, Monaco.
Social Media On Fire
After the divorce news, controversial clips of Jeannie Mai from her time on the reality talk show The Real have resurfaced.
During a segment on the show titled, “What’s Your Type?” comedian Lonnie Love asked Mai if she has dated black men before. Jeannie responded by expressing her love for black guys and added:
“But for me, dark meat on the side, white keeps me mean and lean.”
This comment sparked some backlash and raised eyebrows among viewers.
Users on social media expressed their opinions on Jeannie Mai’s past comments, where one user wrote, “Jeezy was crazy for even dating a woman who would say “dark meat on the side. White keeps me mean & lean” on a nationally televised show lol.”
Another user also wrote, “Made no sense to marry her in the first place when she already told the world she likes her “dark meat on the side.”
Ne-Yo & Ex-Wife Finalize Divorce
In the realm of celebrity divorces, Ne-Yo and his ex-wife Crystal Renae have recently finalized their divorce. Renae took to social media to accuse the singer and songwriter of cheating on her, hinting at the reason behind their split.
In the ongoing saga of Jeannie Mai and Jeezy’s divorce proceedings, things have taken a dramatic turn as Jeannie has responded to Jeezy’s divorce petition with explosive allegations of infidelity. The TV personality is not holding back, insinuating that Jeezy’s alleged cheating could have significant implications for their prenuptial agreement and the division of assets.
Legal documents obtained by TMZ reveal that Jeannie’s response to Jeezy’s divorce petition leaves no room for ambiguity. Her lawyer writes, “Wife reserves the right to amend this counterclaim to add other grounds for divorce, but which Wife does not wish to specify herein at this time in the hope this matter can be resolved without having to disclose such conduct publicly.” This suggests that there may be more to the story that Jeannie is choosing not to reveal at this moment.
However, the documents go on to make a pointed reference to the prenuptial agreement between Jeannie and Jeezy. Jeannie is seeking the enforcement of a specific clause, stating, “the Court should enforce Paragraph 8 of the Prenuptial Agreement regarding infidelity.” This paragraph apparently imposes a significant financial penalty in the event of adultery, encompassing a range of activities from sexual relations to emotionally suggestive communication via electronic means.
In essence, Jeannie is accusing Jeezy of being unfaithful and signaling that she expects him to bear the financial consequences outlined in their prenup. Notably, the documents do not provide details about who Jeezy allegedly had relations with or communicated with inappropriately.
The situation takes an intriguing turn considering that earlier rumors had suggested Jeannie was the one being accused of infidelity with “Access Hollywood” host Mario Lopez. However, a source close to Jeannie had vehemently denied those claims.
Adding another layer to the unfolding drama, Jeezy, who filed for divorce back in August in Georgia, released a 29-track double album titled “I Might Forgive … But I Don’t Forget” in the aftermath of the split. The album notably features a track titled “Don’t Cheat,” suggesting that the theme of infidelity was already prevalent in the artist’s mind during this tumultuous period.
It seems that the narrative is evolving, with both parties bringing their own perspectives and accusations to the forefront. The prenuptial agreement and the potential financial consequences of alleged infidelity add an extra layer to this already headline-grabbing separation.

She added, “And turning off everything really helps. I tuned into the voices that I needed to hear, that’s me and the truth.”
When 2023 began, Jeezy and Jeannie Mai were one of the celebrity couples whom the internet loved to idolize, especially when they welcomed their first child together, Monaco. From afar, everything seemed peachy in their world, but recent months have revealed that things in the Jenkins household were less than ideal for some time, causing the rapper to file for divorce from his wife. Fans of the pair have been speculating about what might’ve led to their demise. While infidelity came up in conversation, Jeezy seemed to quash any rumours of him being unfaithful on his new album, as well as during an interview with Nia Long.
Interestingly, new legal documents obtained by TMZ suggest that Mai did fall victim to her husband’s cheating and that their prenuptial agreement could land her a huge payday. “Wife reserves the right to amend this counterclaim to add other grounds for divorce, but which Wife does not wish to specify herein at this time in the hope this matter can be resolved without having to disclose such conduct publicly,” the mother of one’s attorney wrote.
Jeezy Had a Lot to Say About Cheating in His Interview with Nia Long
“Wife further shows that the Court should enforce Paragraph 8 of the Prenuptial Agreement regarding infidelity which provides, in pertinent part, that in the event that either party engages in sexual relations, an emotional relationship, or is emotionally or sexually suggestive in communication with a third party via all forms of electronic communications, including but not limited to texting, sexting, Facetiming, social media and/or Direct Messages, shall result in a significant financial penalty upon the adulterous party,” the docs further state.
At this time, it’s unclear who Jeezy was allegedly unfaithful with, though Mai was previously under fire for getting too friendly with Mario Lopez of Access Hollywood fame. Those accusations are now behind us, but still, it’s clear the tension brewing between the co-parents isn’t calm yet. Divorce is difficult enough as is for the Average Joe, so working through all of this drama in the public eye has added an extra layer of stress for both Jeannie Mai and Jeezy. For the TV personality’s part, she shared back in October that she’s “taking it day by day,” which is probably the best approach to preserve her mental sanity. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
Jeezy remains one of Hip Hop’s most influential figures, and he has created some truly timeless collabs. Since beginning his career in 2001, he has been put among the likes of T.I. and Gucci Mane as one of Atlanta’s biggest rap exports. With a career spanning 13 studio albums and a number of impressive mixtapes, Young Jeezy has shown several times that he can deliver some impressive hits. Furthermore, as one of the most sought-after rappers of the 2000s, his collaborations with other artists were widely lauded. However, his latest album, I Might Forgive… But I Don’t Forget, is without any features. Nonetheless, we’ve outlined seven of Jeezy’s hottest Hip Hop collabs that are sure to trigger a bout of nostalgia.
7. “I’m So Hood” (Remix) – DJ Khaled Ft. Jeezy, Lil Wayne, T-Pain & More
The remix of “I’m So Hood” is one of the most timeless collabs of the 2000s. From DJ Khaled’s first studio album, this remix features Lil Wayne, Big Boi, Busta Rhymes, Ludacris, Birdman, Young Jeezy, and Fat Joe. “I’m So Hood” is also a representation of how well Jeezy and the other acts hold their own when placed side-by-side with their peers. Each rapper’s flow complements the other, and the verses flow seamlessly into one another. It is no wonder that the song won the best collaboration at the 2008 BET Awards.
This Hip Hop anthem by YG, featuring Young Jeezy and Rich Homie Quan, turned out to be one of the biggest rap collabs of 2013. Over a minimalist, catchy beat by DJ Mustard, the three artists seamlessly exchange verses with camaraderie and loyalty as the song’s main theme. “My N***a” peaked at No. 16 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and has amassed almost 360 million streams on YouTube since 2013. The song also won the award for the Best Collab, Duo, or Group at the 2014 BET Awards.
5. “Bout That” Ft. Lil Wayne
“Bout That” features a good amount of braggadocio, with Jeezy and Lil Wayne rapping about their affluence in the rap game, paralleling their status in the music industry to the streets. Jeezy’s gritty rap style blends perfectly with Lil Wayne’s sly, witty lyrics, and the result is a smooth mix. “Bout That” might not have been a major hit, but real Hip Hop heads can’t help but appreciate the genius of this collaboration. It is one of the standout tracks on Jeezy’s ninth album, Trap Or Die 3.
“Seen It All” is one of the singles supporting Jeezy’s seventh studio album, Seen It All: The Autobiography. “Seen It All” features dark and atmospheric beats with a haunting piano melody that creates a somber mood. The track also brings forth the essence of the streets, with both Jeezy and HOV talking about the various challenges they went through to reach their current heights. “Seen It All” peaked at No. 85 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Moreover, the Cardo-produced track also peaked at No. 25 on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs Chart. Nonetheless, it’s a testament to Jeezy holding his own, in one of his most high-profile rap collabs.
3. “Put On” feat. Kanye West
“Put On” was released as the lead single for Jeezy’s third studio album, The Recession. The track, which features Kanye West, utilizes a grandiose and anthemic sound, with a beat filled with triumphant horns and impactful percussions. “Put On” peaked at No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Furthermore, with over 200 million streams on Spotify, it is one of the most streamed Jeezy collabs of all time.
2. “My President” Ft. Nas
“My President” is a socially conscious track celebrating Obama’s nomination for the American presidency under the Democratic Party. The song’s lyrics explore various social and socio-economic issues in the United States, especially those faced by African Americans. One of his most introspective collabs, Jeezy delivers some of his most powerful verses, and Nas keeps the ball rolling by the third verse. The song also strikes a balance between the urgency of the situation and the general ecstasy that comes with the possibility that an African American candidate had a shot at becoming president. “My President” peaked at No. 53 on the Hot 100 chart, and the track’s music video has over 25 million streams on YouTube.
A collaboration between Jay-Z, André 3000, and Jeezy is sure to satisfy any Hip Hop fan, and this one did not disappoint. Released in 2011 as part of Jeezy’s sixth album TM: 103, “I Do” explores themes of commitment, love, and the complexities of romantic relationships. The track’s production features a smooth and melodic beat, providing a soulful backdrop for pensive lyrics. “I Do” peaked at number 61 on the Hot 100, and was also nominated for Best Rap Performance at the 2013 Grammy Awards. Commercial success aside, it’s a signature collab in Jeezy’s discography.
