However, in his music, Jeezy raps about his experience with growing up around crime and past beefs he was involved in.
During the interview, he described that his last time in prison made him realize that he wanted validation even though he had success as a rapper.
“I don’t need validation by what you consider to be real for me to be a real man,” Jeezy said.
Another rapper who grew up in street life included Lil Baby, who dropped a documentary highlighting his choice between rapping and the streets.
