Jeezy has revealed that he recently lost his mother.
Taking to Instagram, the rapper posted a photo from the funeral as well as an old clip of her singing along to a song in a jovial mood. “You taught me to be a man when I was a boy. Made me man up be a father when I was a kid. Raised me to be a natural born leader when I was lost. You lifted me when I was down. Inspired me when I had no inspiration. Always told me I was Bigger than my circumstances. My Super Hero,” Jeezy wrote in the caption.
“One of the only people in the world I could trust. When I had nothing or no one, I had you Mamma. You was hard on me. I thank you for that. You gave me confidence when I didn’t have any. Made me feel like I can put the world on my back and walk barefoot. You never judged or down talked my dreams. Or my downfalls. You just encouraged. I thank GOD you got a glimpse of the Man and Woman you raised and all the good we gave to world all because you gave it to us,” he continued his heartfelt dedication.
Jeezy didn’t mention the cause of death and it’s clear that they had a close relationship. His fiancée Jeannie Mai also commented on the post, writing, “an unbelievably strong Queen who created a beautiful family of LOVE. I am thankful to experience her life on earth everyday through you Jay.”
Our condolences to Jeezy and the family.
