Jeezy‘s ex-fiancée and nanny have both filed affidavits in support of him and his character as the Atlanta rapper continues to fight against claims of abuse made by his estranged wife, Jeannie Mai.
According to court documents filed on Friday (June 7) and obtained by HipHopDX, Mahlet Gebremedhin — the mother of his older daughter, Amra — described the Church in These Streets rapper, real name Jay Jenkins, as a devoted father who was never abusive to either her or their shared child.

“I’ve witnessed Jay be a devoted, caring, and present Father to our daughter and his oldest child [son Jadarius],” she wrote. “For almost four years, Jay’s eldest child lived with us and I was able to see their relationship grow every day. At no point was Jay ever physically, mentally or emotionally abusive to his children or I.”
Similar claims were filed by the rapper’s nanny Minhee Hoffler, a friend named Robyn Wallace, and Shelley Nichols, a woman whose husband is the rapper’s “close friend and real estate broker.”

“As a caretaker, I believe Mr. Jenkins gives his daughters the support they need as they grow into young women in the future,” Hoffler wrote. “Mr. Jenkins is a hardworking person, but even a more hardworking dad.”

For her part, Jeannie Mai continues to claim that Jeezy abused her during their marriage.
“It seems Mr. Jenkins is trying to distort the truth once more by employing people to file false statements and claims against Ms. Mai, attempting to contradict real-time evidence and factual events. We are eager to present all the evidence in court,” her rep said in a statement to Page Six.

Before this, Jeezy showed the courts what appeared to be WhatsApp conversations between himself and the Raid the Cage co-host (whom he labeled as “Monaco’s mom” in the app).
In the conversations, Mai shares screenshots of her ovulation calendar from the Flo app, which tracks menstrual and ovulation cycles and is the preferred app for women over 40 who are trying to conceive a child.
“Welp. Tomorrow is when my eggs do what they do, so you got one job capn,” Mai writes to Jeezy.
The rapper submitted these conversations as evidence that Mai was trying to have a second baby with him, and began accusing him of abuse when he rebuffed her advances.

Mai initially claimed abuse by the Atlanta rapper in court documents filed on April 24 and obtained by HipHopDX. In her motion — which was a request for the courts to enforce a memorandum of settlement — Mai alleged that the rapper subjected her to physical abuse, and their child to neglect, during an event in December 2022.
