Getting everything from why he really dropped ‘Young’ off his rap alias to having a dad in the Marines, Jeezy doesn’t leave much - if anything - out from this conversation. Peep some interview highlights and keep scrolling for the full-fledged conversation.

Why some people from his past aren’t in his life now [03:25]: “Life started lifing. You know, you start paying for lawyers and lawsuits and, you know, it just, life started lifing. And, you know, like anything else the layers peel off. You know what I'm saying? And it's like, you don't want it to be that way, but that's the way life happens. Because life telling you, ‘If you don't start peeling off some of these layers, you won't survive.’ And you know how they tell you on the plane, you know, ‘If the plane going down, you gotta put your face mask on first.’ The plane was going down, you feel me? So I had to put my face mask on…”

The hardest thing for him to leave behind [05:10]: “My identity. You know, I was good in the street… I had all the respect I needed. So for me to try to enter the music, I almost was taking a risk because last thing you wanna do is be a street guy that's a whack rapper… “

If he wants more children [12:15]: “Uh, I’m focusing on the book right now.”

What’s the hardest part of being Jeezy, writing the book was therapeutic [14:10]:  “My first, you know, three albums and two mix tapes, I was probably the most depressed I ever been in my life. And I didn't even know what depression was. You know what I'm saying? Anxiety, all these things, I didn't have the words for that. As I started to learn and peel back the layers, I'm like, ‘Oh, this is what's going on.’“

[06:55] – His father was a Marine, moved around a lot: “...but the reality of it was when I got back to the 'hood when my parents divorced, I knew there was beaches. I knew there was palm trees. So I'm trying to explain that to people in the hood. And they're like, ‘Man, what are you talking about? Ain't never left the block.’”

Kandi Burruss decodes everything 'Kandi & The Gang' is about

Reality TV star Kandi Burruss isn’t slowing down with 2022 heavily underway. Instead, she’s on her promotion tour gearing ups or the world to dig into everything her ‘Kandi & The Gang’ show has to offer.

Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker decoded their new show

During an appearance on Atlanta’s V-103, KB and her ride or die Todd Tucker chopped it up about their show - even playing the intro which is written and performed by Kandi herself.

“I woke up bouncing around and only slept for a couple hours. Bright eyes, ready to go today, last night was amazing,” Kandi said regarding the show’s premiere. “It was a scheme that Todd came up with. With Kandi’s crazy family, and our crazy staff, they were born for T.V., mixed with food and fun. It was like man, this is a great show. I put it together, it took a little time, but Bravo knew what to do. We’re here, it feels good…When you come up with an idea, and to really see it transform and finally get on T.V., it’s like man, ‘Did I come up with this?’ As soon as you come up with one, you’ve got to come up with the next one.”

They even dish on having the double duty of filming reality TV and juggling real life family goals.

“It’s hard, because sometimes our family gets all sensitive about certain things. I’ve be trying to tell them, ‘You will be alright, it’s not that deep’, but they be all in their feelings. I don’t even know what to be saying sometimes…So you know it gets real when they film, man. They just be authentically themselves. It definitely comes out…My momma and Aunt Nora, they’re just real sensitive…People don’t understand with reality T.V. when you film it, you go through it, and when you watch it on T.V., you go through it again. It can be a little tough.”
