Rapper Jeezy shared details about his homie Jay-Z on Uncensored.
The Atlanta emcee revealed that he and Jigga have a close friendship, and the two men go hard for each other. In the documentary, Jeezy recalled why he rocks with the mogul.
“Me and Hov, mentally we was connected because even if we wasn’t doing music, we would rock with each other in a sense because we both had old souls, and we both came from the same struggle,” Jeezy explained. “But the only thing is, his struggle started before mine, and he started walking his path before me. So, I have to look at somebody like that how I would look at somebody in the hood who was already getting money before I was.”

He disclosed that Jay-Z had his back when facing federal indictments and a brawl in Sin City. Jeezy’s record label turned their backs on him at the time, and he was alone with no manager and no squad after they were arrested.
“I ain’t have no stage manager, I ain’t have no manager, no nothing. Just me,” he recalled. “They wouldn’t pick up my calls. They wasn’t trying to hear what I was saying.”
“Hov called me. A lot of people don’t know, we done been in some fistfights and everything. Some things popped off in Vegas… I gotta say, Hov’s got hands, ’cause we was getting down. We was back to back. I hear his assistant say, ‘Jay, get in the car!’ and he was like, ‘I ain’t leaving Jeezy!’ I was like, I rock with him.”
The “Leave You Alone” rapper also admitted that the “On To The Next One” emcee’s advice kept him on the straight and narrow path.
“The craziest thing, me and Hov don’t even talk about music,” he said. “It’s like, rare. It’s one of them one-off things.”
