Jeannie Mai is pursuing legal actions against her ex-husband, Jeezy, for a clause in their divorce settlement that he’s allegedly flouting.
The talk show host claims her rapper ex-husband owes her a lot of money for rent, their daughter’s tuition, and paperwork for two cars, as agreed in their June 11 divorce settlement.
Jeannie Mai and Jeezy’s came to an end after the rapper filed for divorce in September last year.

Jeannie Mai Claims Jeezy Has Failed To Pay Her For Their Daughter’s Daycare Costs And School Tuition
According to TMZ, Mai claims that Jeezy is flouting the terms of their divorce settlement. He has allegedly refused to pay her what he owes her, as they initially agreed when they finalized their divorce in June.
Mai said their divorce settlement calls for Jeezy to pay her for daycare costs and tuition for their child, deposit half a million dollars in an interest-bearing account, hand over the titles for two cars to her, and cover the cost of 4 months of her rent.
The former “The Real” co-host claimed in a new legal filing that her estranged husband has been evading the injunction and leaving her out to dry.
She said that Jeezy already owes her $4,000 for tuition and daycare and hasn’t given her access to the $500,000 account he was supposed to open for their child.

The two vehicles involved in the matter are a 2021 Range Rover and a 2022 Ford Bronco, but she claimed that the “All There” crooner hadn’t transferred the titles to her, so she hasn’t been able to insure them.

Jeezy Is Allegedly Owing His Ex-Wife Rent
According to the news outlet, Mai also noted that Jeezy was supposed to cover her rent from May through August but that he hasn’t reimbursed her for it and owes her $92,417.39 for four months worth of rent.
The former couple were locked in a custody battle for months after she alleged that the rapper was keeping their child from her. They settled their divorce in June, but it was kept under seal, meaning details of the settlement are only now coming to light.
She claims her lawyers have tried to reach out to him through his team, but they stopped responding in July. Hence, she’s seeking for the court to hold him in contempt and wants him to pay her what he owes her plus interest.

Jeannie Mai Accused Jeezy Of Domestic Violence
Mai and Jeezy’s split turned very messy when the TV personality accused the rapper of physically assaulting her.
According to People, the former “The Real” host said in court documents: “He hurled insults such as ‘You w—!’ and ‘I can’t wait to divorce you when we get back.”
Mai also alleged that she was held “against her will” and that the rapper struck her with “a closed fist across her cheekbone and eye, causing a subconjunctival hemorrhage.”
Jeezy, however, called out Mai’s domestic violence allegations on Instagram, branding them “deeply disturbing” and “false.”
He wrote in part, “The allegations are not only false, but also deeply disturbing, especially coming from someone I loved. This malicious attempt to tarnish my character and disrupt my family is ridiculous.”
