Jeannie Mai is reportedly voicing concerns over the safety of her and Jeezy‘s one-year-old daughter. As The Shade Room previously reported, Jeezy filed for divorce from Mai in September. The couple were married for two and a half years.
In December, reports surfaced of Mai’s legal response to Jeezy’s filing. The 44-year-old alleged her estranged husband was unfaithful during their marriage. Additionally, Mai proposed Jeezy would have to face a “significant financial penalty” for his alleged actions, per their prenuptial agreement.
Since then, Jeezy has denied Mai’s infidelity claims.
