Jeezy sues his former mangers claiming he is owed millions
Atlanta rapper and trap music pioneer Jeezy has revealed that he is suing his former managers Solomon Fornie and Eddie Bridgeman over disagreements about money. The Trap Or Die creator has insisted that his two ex-managers got rich from his hard work and asserts that he didn’t receive a fair share of his earnings.
Hip-hop media outlet TMZ recently saw Jeezy’s filings. It has been reported that Jeezy worked with Fornie and Bridgeman for over a decade but wanted to drop them for years. The two managers allegedly stopped the emcee from seeing his own financial records, which prevented him from shutting down Agency 99, a company he co-founded with one of his managers. As such, he has taken both to court so he can have access to his financial records.
The ‘And Then What’ rhymer has also alleged that Eddie Bridgeman, who handled his finances for many years, was never a real accountant and didn’t have a license to practice. Neither Jeezy nor Fornie and Bridgeman have commented on the lawsuit.
Still, this is not the only legal trouble Jeezy is involved in. He has been caught up in several disputes with his ex-wife Jeannie Mai who has recently accused him of violating a court order put in place to allow her to collect her belongings from their former home.
As reported by In Touch magazine, Mai turned up to their former home in December to collect her belongings but was denied entry by one of Jeezy’s managers. Mai told the courts, but the emcee told a judge he did not feel safe with Mai “being able to walk through the whole house.”
Jeezy’s attorney told the judge, “[Jeezy] does not feel safe having Ms Mai in his home. Given Ms Mai’s history of attempting to destroy his career with misleading information, he would have no way of knowing if she is planting listening devices or cameras in his home.”
However, his ex-wife’s legal team disregarded the story of fear from Jeezy and insisted that as soon as she was denied access, she rightfully called the police, detailing, “[After the incident], our client called the Atlanta Police Department, who came to the property to gather a report on her denial of access.”
They added: “When the police officer informed the house manager that a court order was, in fact, being violated, the house manager then had to shift gears and create a new barrier to entry.”
So far, the Atlanta trap star has not commented or spoken to the media about his current well-being, but it is clear from his existing divorce issues and his new management problems that the courts will be playing a big role in his life moving forward.
