<p><strong>Jeezy</strong> recently got candid about his life leading up to who he is today. During a sit-down with Nia Long, he explained his early desire to be a married man and revealed how he and <strong>Jeannie Mai</strong> tried to &#8220;save&#8221; <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/jeannie-mai-jenkins-breaks-silence-first-time-jeezy-filed-divorce/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">their marriage</a>.</p>
<p>The &#8220;Put On&#8221; rapper revealed that he and his estranged wife tried therapy together. Before that reveal, Jeezy clarified that he wanted to keep the &#8220;integrity intact&#8221; and didn&#8217;t want to dishonor Jeannie (though he didn&#8217;t name-drop her).</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I can tell you that this has not been an easy journey. I can tell you that I&#8217;m saddened, I&#8217;m disappointed. I can tell you that I&#8217;m uneasy, but again, God has put me on a different path,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And that path is going to entail for me to take care of myself and to love myself and to be in the best situation that I can thrive as someone who been through all the things I&#8217;ve been through.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Mid-statement, Nia jumped in, saying that feeling is &#8220;hard to explain.&#8221; Jeezy agreed before adding, <em>&#8220;You know I don&#8217;t like to fail at anything.&#8221;</em> He went on to admit that he can &#8220;only be responsible&#8221; for himself and do &#8220;what [he] can do.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I can&#8217;t expect something else to do what I&#8217;m doing,&#8221; Jeezy said.</p></blockquote>
<p>The ATL artist confirmed &#8212; after Nia Long asked &#8212; that he and Jeannie Mai had been to therapy together to address their issues.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;So you actually addressed, tried to work through it, tried to do the work, and it just was like not happening?&#8221; Nia asked as Jeezy agreed with head nods and verbal confirmations.</p></blockquote>
<p>Jeezy self-published the <a href="https://youtu.be/YZhyxRv4CyE?si=to4JztDXDdJq0sba" target="_blank" rel="noopener">entire interview</a> on his YouTube channel on Nov. 7.</p>

<p>One day after Jeezy&#8217;s interview went live, Jeannie shared an Instagram post highlighting their infant daughter Monaco.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;My greatest accomplishment in life will be who I raised,&#8221; she wrote in the caption.</p></blockquote>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Jeezy &; Jeannie Mai&#8217;s Public Statements After Divorce Filing</h3>
<p>As previously reported, Jeezy filed for divorce on Sept. 14 in Atlanta. His filing sent fans into a frenzy, given that the week before, Jeannie Mai had dedicated a <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cw2vVY9Aqky/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">loving social post</a> to him highlighting his memoir.</p>
<p>By mid-October, Jeannie Mai finally broke her silence on the matter. First, she shared a cryptic social post about taking a break &#8220;to heal.&#8221; Then, she <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/jeannie-mai-god-pain-monaco-north-star-divorce-jeezy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">joined Sherri Shepard</a> on her talk show and revealed that she&#8217;s been leaning on God for strength.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;You know, I&#8217;m not gonna lie, it takes every day to just really sit and be quiet in your thoughts. Take care of me. But one thing I know is: you give God your pain, he will give you his power. So every day I&#8217;m like here. You got room for more? Here&#8217;s some more. And just taking it day by day, you know,&#8221; Jeannie Mai told Sherri.</p></blockquote>
<p>She also told the daytime TV host that Monaco was her &#8220;north star&#8221; during this time.</p>
<p>A few days after Jeannie&#8217;s interview aired, Jeezy <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/jeezy-statement-divorce-jeannie-mai/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">released a statement</a> about their divorce. He admitted that his divorce decision was not impulsive and added that his &#8220;love and respect for Jeannie remains the same.&#8221;</p>

<p>Last month, Jeezy also received praise on social media after sharing his experience with depression on &#8216;The Tamron Hall Show.&#8217;</p>
