“Wow…I’m trying to figure out who y’all talking about…you talking about Jeannie?” he asked. “I was simply telling her the plot of [my] movie [K-Pops!]. We were going over the plot. I was in my club, Andy’s…we have live music in there. It’s very loud. Simply going over the plot. She has a family, you know. It’s a family movie. You can bring everyone. It’s loud in there with live music.”

Jeannie Mai was previously married to Jeezy.
Mai’s ex-husband Jeezy filed for divorce in September 2023. The duo engaged in a messy series of court proceedings after the rapper accused his ex of being a "gatekeeper" with their then-23-month-old daughter, Monaco.
"The lack of consistency, continuity and stability inherently associated with such a haphazard and fluid parenting time schedule is stressful to the Child (Monaco), and it has, as is unfortunately inevitable with all families in transition, created unnecessary tension and confusion regarding not only parenting time but also in regard to each parent’s role and rights when the Child is in their respective custody," the court documents stated.

Jeannie Mai shares a child with Jeezy.
Jeezy requested the judge "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."
Before the “OKAY” artist, Mai was married to Freddy Harteis from 2007 and 2018.
