On August 24th Jeezy was arrested for possession of an AK-47 assault rifle, the rapper did not post $1 million dollar bail until August 28th and he explains why. During a recent interview Jeezy told The Breakfast Club "he could have been release the same night he was arrested, however five of his associates would still be incarcerated." He said "I’m a real one and whatever happened. They detained two of my bus drivers. One of which was a 50-something year old lady. My cameraman or whatever. I’m such a real person and I know we were there in the right. I felt I couldn’t leave them there. When I stepped in the door, I had bailsmen right there. I just made it clear that when I leave, we leave together. Point blank period." Jeezy is confident that he will be exonerated of the gun charges.
During the interview the rapper also talk about not wanting his son to be a rapper. He said "My whole thing with my son is he wants to be a rapper. I just wanted him to know like ‘this is not for no chain or no rolex or no car, because I had this all before. If you ain’t willing to lay down and die for this then I don’t think you should be in it. This is no different than being in a Martin Luther King situation or Malcolm X. When you say these words, you got to stand on them. "
