In the midst of Jeezy’s ongoing battle against abuse claims made by his estranged wife, Jeannie Mai, the Atlanta rapper has received support from his ex-fiancée and nanny. Both have filed affidavits defending his character.
According to court documents obtained by HipHopDX on June 7, Mahlet Gebremedhin, the mother of Jeezy’s older daughter, Amra, praised him as a devoted father. “I’ve witnessed Jay be a devoted, caring, and present Father to our daughter and his oldest child [son Jadarius],” Gebremedhin stated. “At no point was Jay ever physically, mentally or emotionally abusive to his children or me.”
Minhee Hoffler, Jeezy’s nanny, echoed these sentiments. “As a caretaker, I believe Mr. Jenkins gives his daughters the support they need as they grow into young women in the future,” Hoffler wrote. “Mr. Jenkins is a hardworking person, but even a more hardworking dad.”
Additionally, Robyn Wallace, a friend, and Shelley Nichols, whose husband is Jeezy’s close friend and real estate broker, have also filed similar claims supporting the rapper.
Jeannie Mai, however, maintains her stance, claiming Jeezy abused her during their marriage. Her representative told Page Six, “It seems Mr. Jenkins is trying to distort the truth once more by employing people to file false statements and claims against Ms. Mai, attempting to contradict real-time evidence and factual events. We are eager to present all the evidence in court.”
Previously, Jeezy submitted WhatsApp conversations between him and Mai, where she shared her ovulation calendar, suggesting she wanted to have another child with him. Jeezy used these messages to argue that Mai’s abuse claims started when he rejected her attempts to conceive again.
Mai first accused Jeezy of abuse in court documents filed on April 24. She alleged that Jeezy subjected her to physical abuse and their child to neglect during an incident in December 2022.
