Young Jeezy displayed an act of kindness to a young boy with cancer on a recent flight.

The 44-year-old rapper took to Instagram and described his experience meeting the 11-year-old boy while on a flight headed to Memphis.

Andre, 11, is battling stage 3 cancer and was flying to Memphis for treatment. The “I Luv It” artist offered his first-class seat to the young boy and sat next to his mother. Jeezy conversed with Andre’s mother throughout the flight and invited the pre-teen and his mother to his show.

“Meet Andre. He’s 11 and one of the bravest young Kings I know. I met Andre on my flight to Memphis. Overheard, he was battling stage 3 cancer and was on his way to Memphis for treatment. Offered him my first-class seat so he can go to treatment like the boss he is. In taking his seat, I spoke with his amazing and strong mother. She told me about how mighty of a fighter her son has been. I invited Andre and his mother to my show. And like a boss, he pulled up. Let’s show Andre some love.”

In early January, the South Carolina native and wife, Jeanie Mai, 43, welcomed their first child, Sis2Sis reported

The Emmy award-winning host announced the birth of the couple’s baby girl, Monaco, in an Instagram post on Jan. 11.

“I asked God for a life of love and happiness.

“He sent me my family. Baby Jenkins is here,” she said in the caption with a baby bottle and red heart emoji.

Mai and the Grammy-nominated rapper first started dating and wed in a small ceremony in Atlanta last year. The 43-year-old announced her pregnancy during an episode of The Real in September.

“It’s been really hard to keep secrets from you guys because we have so much to reveal here at the show, including the fact that I am pregnant!” she shared. She even revealed that she initially didn’t want to be a mother.

“It feels surreal because this is the same home that I said so many defiant things,” she said. “You know, I was like, I know exactly what I want, I know exactly what kind of woman I want to be, and I always said, I’d never be a mom.”
