“If you never come face to face with the devil then your going the same way”

[@francoisbessing]

This man has they energy of someone who overcame the world and his own mind and won. Inspirational.

[@MO6_baddazz8183]

I like how you applied his 2nd album, which is “The Inspiration” to your point🗣

[@djm2985]

She's a good interviewer. Very calm and soothing and knew all of the right questions to ask.

[@PTO_Finesse]

To see this level of growth from the snowman, to see where’s he’s at today mentally… it goes to show we all can elevate.

[@brendabrenda9052]

"I don't value depreciating assets any more." Jeezy has grown. Congrats to him for doing the work.

[@SuccessfulladiesSoftLife]

He's the depreciating asset.

[@brendabrenda9052]

@@SuccessfulladiesSoftLife That's horrible. Be well.

[@TheLovely990]

This is my first time actually hearing him speak, and its all truths. Very smart young man. This explains all of the change in his life. Sometimes you have to get rid of toxtic people. I will have to purchase his book. Congratulations, Jeezy.❤❤

[@jljohnson3740]

Love the fact he bought his mom a house!! Never listened to him before. Very insightful and good example for young people.

[@Mr.DeJean_3516]

I see the growth from Jeezy, love it!

[@SuccessfulladiesSoftLife]

Growth?

[@jasontheworldisyours]

Keep getting that bag Jeezy. Good vibes from Las Vegas 💯

[@racheltoby9648]

IF the reason was "angur issues" and you were my son I'd be so proud of you for making a courageous decision. This will plant a seed in those who stay in dysfunctional relationships and will encourage them to get out. Now, keep on doing what you're doing, without the cursing 👍🙏👣😇

[@02nupe]

Solid Interview across the board from Jeezy and RoseMarie.

[@cassandracole7498]

Ok I’m here after divorce announcement

[@doneecemcneil7826]

Gm edagdwg God blessed this man with a forever gift to pay attention to who you are and what you want for your life as a child of God being yourself is a forever gift to do what you want for your children love is soooooo real he learned to be hisself .Much respect for standing up for his life no matter what people think or say he enjoys being free to be. This special story of what happens when God blessed you to become who you are blessed to be. Peace is soooooo real hearing him speak I understand him being the way he is no games don't play with fire move on Linda j. Peace

[@leema365]

Jeezy is an empath holy moly

[@Kemly_]

Facts I notice also. The way he expresses his self

[@leema365]

@@Kemly_ right everyone’s calling him a narcissist which is not true anything he did for her or family he did not have to go tell others about it. But she sure did and also we don’t know too much about his family dynamic but when watching a family vlog the nana and his dad we’re both very down to earth and not dramatic on the other hand we see her family and we know her mother is a narcissist and she has overstepped boundaries. Wild like the fact he went to therapy narcs don’t last more than a few sessions. There is too much emmeshment in her family. Moving her family in, the mother taking over the upbringing of the child.

[@deeand975]

He abandon his wife and baby. He did not give his marriage a chance

[@marvinstrong9374]

​@@deeand975he didn't abandon his baby. Just because he doesn't want to be with the mother no more don't mean he not in that babies life

[@babytashonphatashieenterta2528]

I love how people watch an interview and believe they know a person based on what/how the person talks. There is something called Public Relations guys, which entails "strategies". You present to the public, the image you want them to have of you. Not saying he's a bad dude at all. I don't know him... none of us know him. Just remember this is business.

[@lisamarie949]

I’m so happy for his growth. God bless him

[@taremejohnson8689]

Everything but a hearse 🙏🏾💪🏾✊🏾💯💯💯

[@richardnewborn3821]

Out here in these streeeets

[@noseyandneutral]

Dope Boy 95 Air Max On! This is a very insightful interview. I wish the interviewer was able to have Jeezy answer to establish a timeline, like when did he get signed. What year was it when he was giving out CDs. Great interview!

[@francoisbessing]

Love this.

[@tabus4706]

Love it!!

[@pearlrodgers354]

Congratulations

[@feliciap6959]

I hope you’re happy now that you’re finally relevant. Thanks Jeanie M. for your contribution.

[@RB-Q]

She is relevant because of him.

[@FaithinChristJesus777]

What does it profit a man to gain the whole world but lose his soul?

[@allenforrest386]

Jeezy and I move like twins

[@kestonprescott129]

That is 1 fine chocolate sista

[@helenecoldros1882]

Everything this man ever talked about maybe true and inspirational. Jeezy needs to forgive himself and fully surrender to God. To me Jeezy is not truthful with himself and others. That's why he wear shades on every interview. The eyes never lie. Keep it a 100 Jeezy. His words has been contradicting, All he is doing is chasing after money and fame, when he should be chasing after God own heart. No one is perfect sure enough. Being a hypocrite before people is not good. Saying is you can fool people,but you can't fool God, because God knows us inside and out. You can't fool God. How you treat others is how you treat God. Keep it real Jeezy. God sees your heart, selling your soul to the devil is not good. Not judging you. I am speaking facts.

[@gloriaagatha3237]

He seems knowledgeable but there’s something missing indeed he needs God

[@RichPEvolon]

Are you God? You said all that to say what? You sound crazy. Because he wears shades something is wrong with him?? 😆😆😆 Ok. You’re sitting here tryna find flaws on him while he’s just doing an interview…🤷🏽‍♂️he doesn’t even know you exist, and you say he needs to find God…. I think you should take your own advice and stop trying to pointing out the speck in another man’s eye when there’s a log in yours. Hope this helps 👑⛄️

[@RewatchingguALL]

I’ll swap it out. Whatever we were children and loved this

[@MO6_baddazz8183]

At 1st I’m like why tf these mf’s whisper’n🤣 had to turn headphones up! But Young drop’n Game, gotta be motivated nd humble to pick it up!

Take off the shades,

Where gg at 🥴

[@weknowthetruth2315]

it sucked when you bapped that lambo into that taxi in downtown ATL, atlanta classic weekend.. Taxi driver was in the wrong.. I was going to come give you dap but i figured the totaled lambo was bigger issue.

[@rukam3]

Remove the sunglasses, you’re indoors plus it’s easier to hear you message without shades. Common bro, whose your PR!!

[@bobbiking2123]

Generational Wealth? ALL HIS BABY MAMAS HAD TO TAKE HIM TO COURT FOR CHILD SUPPORT! He doesn’t even want to take care of them! ✌️

[@andreajoy3673]

Only in their mind we have generational wealth 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@MsJen_GZ]

Why is no one asking about the divorce ...we don't care about the book.

[@richardnewborn3821]

When you live by the 40....you die by the 45

[@ceebgabe3603]

So why would you give up on your marriage and leave another child in a broken home for another man to raise your kid. If you want to focus on you , then do that and stop leaving babies like its some type of souvenir. Selfish......not a journey. You need serious therapy.

[@marvinstrong9374]

You seek therapy worried about somebody else's marriage that you don't know. It's not your damn business what happened in they're relationship. Obviously it wasn't working and a child is not a good excuse to stay in a bad relationship or marriage. It's called co parenting. He can be in the baby's life without being with the mother.

[@wherebeautymeetswellness]

Ok ex thug who sold drugs and poisoned his own community, creating broken homes with several baby mamas, degrade Blk women in his music and y’all choose to listen to this man . Ugh . He is a hustler pimp. Nothing about him is outstanding

[@ItsBrendanBoyd]

The whole interview he’s talking about growth and elevation and all you can hear is past transgressions.

[@wherebeautymeetswellness]

@@ItsBrendanBoyd this is another hustle. He’s done nothing outstanding for the people in his community. And furthermore it speaks volumes about your character the way you treat the ‘mothers’ of your children. So goodbye with that

[@lc-il6wr]

What did u ever see in jeannie..u just keep on picking the wrong mothers for your kids..zip it up

[@krystleeverett7843]

Him and Jeanie are actually a lot alike such as childhood trauma paired with being successful in the entertainment industry since they were very young adults… Both of them are really deep people ….

[@SuccessfulladiesSoftLife]

Zero inspiration from a Baby Mother Maker.
