Jeezy Requests Primary Custody of Daughter Monaco, 2, amid Divorce Proceedings with Jeannie Mai


Jeezy requests primary custody of daughter Monaco, 2, amid divorce proceedings with estranged wife Jeannie Mai. The rapper filed for divorce in September after tying the knot with 'The Real' host in 2021.

In documents obtained by PEOPLE and filed on April 10, the rapper, 46, whose real name is Jay Wayne Jenkins, has requested primary custody of his toddler daughter, whom he and Mai, 45, welcomed in January 2022. This past December, Jeezy accused Mai of acting as a "gatekeeper" of their daughter and asked a judge for a hearing to set "clearly defined" temporary legal and physical custody rights amid their divorce. According to the filing, obtained by PEOPLE, Jeezy said the former couple are "currently living in a bona fide state of separation," and that their marriage is "irretrievably broken" with "no hope for reconciliation."
