Jeezy Given Jail Time Warning For Failing To Comply To Divorce Terms
Jeezy and Jeannie Mai's 2023 divorce is still ongoing as the former couple continues to butt heads with the terms of the split. The latest issue stems from Jeezy 'willfully disobeying' terms within their divorce, which garnered him a 'stern warning' by a Georgia judge. This could potentially lead to jail time if he continues with failing to comply, InTouch reports. During an April 28 hearing, the judge found Jeezy had 'willfully failed' to deliver the title of a 2021 Range Rover to his ex-wife. This was a requirement in their divorce settlement and Mai's attorneys confirmed to the court that Jeezy had cured the issues raised in her petition for contempt. According to the outlet, 'any future failure to comply with the court's order may result in sanctions, which he said could be in the form of incarceration.' The only issue that remained to be addressed was the 'Put On' rapper's previous demand for Mai to pay $20,000 to cover the legal fees that have allegedly accumulated throughout the divorce process. On March 17, Jeezy requested payment from the former The Real host after she accused him of contempt, resulting in him fighting her 'frivolous' accusations and racking up the bill. InTouch reports the judge 'shut down' his demand for attorney fees during the recent hearing. Jeannie Mai and Jeezy got married in March 2021 in an intimate ceremony. They share one daughter together named Monaco Mai Jenkins, 3. Jeezy filed for divorce in October 2023, and the TV host said she was blindsided as she found out he did so at the same time as 'the rest of the world.' Since the filing, the two have been going back-and-forth on the terms of their public split. Since then, the situation snowballed into a series of hurdles. Earlier this year, Mai got the police involved during an incident at Jeezy's residence last month after the rapper allegedly did not allow her to retrieve her things from his Georgia home. The rapper stated he blocked her from entering during the agreed time frame because he was concerned about her having access to his residence and 'no way of knowing if [Jeannie] is planting listening devices or cameras in his home.'
