Jeezy originally requested full custody of his 2-year-old daughter with Jeannie Mai, but has since backtracked and is now seeking to split custody with his estranged wife. In court documents obtained by TMZ, Jeezy claimed that he has hardly seen his daughter since entering an informal custody agreement with Mai in late 2023. The rapper alleged that he took their daughter on vacation in March but when he attempted to pick her up for another visit in April, she was not there and Mai had moved out of their shared home.
Jeezy further claimed that Mai is keeping their daughter from him because he owns a gun, although he argues that it has never affected Monaco. Additionally, he stated that he is unable to FaceTime his daughter because Mai blocked his number. The documents reveal that Jeezy has been an active and present father in Monaco’s life and that keeping her away from him would detrimentally affect her emotional state. Mai was not immediately available for comment on the matter.
Earlier this month, Jeezy filed for primary custody of their daughter due to Mai’s busy schedule, which he believes is not good for their child. Mai denies allegations from Jeezy that she is “gatekeeping” Monaco from him and stated that she wants to foster an open, supportive, and safe environment for both parents to actively participate in their daughter’s life. The couple filed for divorce in September, with Jeezy claiming that their marriage was irretrievably broken. Sources close to Mai revealed that she was devastated by the split and wants to work things out to restore their family unit.
Despite initially seeking full custody of Monaco, Jeezy has now amended his request to split custody with Jeannie Mai. He stated in court documents that he has hardly seen his daughter since late 2023 after entering an informal custody agreement with his estranged wife. The rapper cited instances where he was unable to spend time with Monaco and claimed that Mai moved out of their shared home and kept their daughter’s whereabouts unknown to him. Jeezy also addressed allegations that Mai was keeping their daughter from him due to his ownership of a gun, arguing that he has always owned firearms and Monaco has never been negatively impacted by them.
Jeezy’s claims that Jeannie Mai is keeping their daughter from him because he owns a gun have been refuted by the rapper. In court documents, he expressed his frustration with being unable to contact his daughter through FaceTime as Mai blocked his number. Jeezy emphasized that he has always been an active and present father in Monaco’s life and that being kept away from her would have a detrimental impact on her emotional well-being. The situation between the former couple continues to unfold as they navigate their divorce and custody arrangements for their young daughter.
