Rapper Jeezy claims his estranged wife, former host of “The Real,” Jeannie Mai is “interfering” with his ability to have a relationship with their daughter.
According to a legal document obtained by The Blast, Jeezy is accusing Mai of interfering with his parenting time, stating that the informal agreement they have in place isn’t working, and is looking for the court to address the situation.
Jeezy filed to divorce Mai in September and requested for joint custody of Monaco.

The legal filing notes that Mai’s “interference” with Jeezy’s relationship with his daughter is “causing confusion and tension between the former couple, and is putting a strain on the development of Jeezy’s relationship with Monaco.
It continues, “As such, it is necessary at this point to separate, structure and clearly define the parties’ temporary legal and physical custody rights and set a parenting time schedule consistent with the best interests of the Child.”
It’s important to note, Jeezy doesn’t believe his ex-wife is doing it on purpose. The rapper says he, “does not believe that (she) is acting maliciously or with specific intent to harm (his) relationship with the child.” Specifically, the legal filing makes this point several times, explaining it happens in situations like this one.
