Tequila
Jeezy likes Tequila so much, he inked his own deal with Avion, whose bottle is custom designed by the rapper himself. But before you go run out and buy a bottle, know his batches are limited to 800 per year.
Real Gangsters
According to Jeezy, real gangsters don’t listen to rap music. In fact, they’re instead listening to love songs and R&B, trying to grow up, fall in love, start a family and whatnot.
No Halfway Crooks
Jeezy makes clear he actually once lived the life that so many of today’s rappers only rap about and, in turn, glorifying drugs and the trap life.
2Pac
No one in the game has Jeezy’s credentials. As far as he’s concerned, the only rapper of his caliber, is the late Tupac Shakur. “Me and Pac was more so on some revolutionary leadership,” explained Jeezy. “We always on the ground level, trying to inspire and motivate the people.”
Traumatized
After comparing himself to 2Pac, Jeezy went on to admit that he’s been mentally traumatized by what he’s experienced coming from the streets.
Tough Love
The ATL rapper touched on the controversial brawl he allegedly got into with his son, delving into the time gap between the two. In bringing his son home, the teenager was exposed to a lifestyle different from when he’s with his mother. Things like house chores, according to Jeezy, were a requirement.
Freddie Gibbs
In addressing the beef between the two rappers, Jeezy shared his side of the story, where he revealed it was a business relationship gone sour, ultimately costing Jeezy lots of money due to Freddie’s inconsistencies.
