Young Jeezy Covers VIBE Magazine
Young Jeezy is on the cover of VIBE magazine’s August issue on stands now. Inside, Jeezy talks about sharing a hug with Republican presidential hopeful John McCain on Saturday Night Live:
No disrespect to my man Barack [Obama]…. [McCain] greeted me like a G. … The fact that he acknowledged me was crazy. I said, ‘I’m Young Jeezy, and it’s rough out here.’ He blew me off at first. I was like, ‘Nah, for real. It’s rough out here, so what you gonna do to change it?’ … I like Barack, but at the same time I wanted to see what McCain was talking about.
Jeezy said he asked McCain if he had any plans for the hood: ‘You gotta fix it, you know that, right?’ And he gave me a look back, like, ‘I know.’ “
Jeezy also opens up about his relationship with Keyshia Cole which ended on a sour note earlier this year when Keyshia dumped him for flamboyant ex-boxer Floyd Mayweather. Jeezy tells VIBE that Keyshia proposed to him and offered to buy the ring, but Jeezy turned her down.
There’s no mention in the article of the fact that Jeezy paid cash for Keyshia’s $750,000 Atlanta mansion or that he gave Keyshia the deed to the property. My source says Keyshia ultimately left Jeezy because Jeezy simply couldn’t compete with Mayweather’s substantial bankroll (after all, a girl has to eat).
In addition to that, my inside source tells me Mayweather dropped a cool $3 Mil on an Atlanta mansion for Keyshia and he also picked up the tab on Keyshia’s swanky Buckhead condo (seen in her reality TV show).
All I can say is, it must be nice!
Keyshia Cole: ‘The Way It Is Reunion Show’ taping in Atlanta tomorrow (3/1)
My spies tell me Keyshia Cole will be taping her reality show in Atlanta tomorrow (3/1). BET is set to tape “Keyshia Cole: The Way it is Reunion Show,” featuring Keyshia’s mother Frankie, and sister Neffe in front of a studio audience.
According to my source, “security will be very tight.” Audience members must pass through multiple checkpoints, and “all bags and purses will be searched.”
The show’s producer, Tracey Edmonds, is not expected to be on the set. “Keyshia Cole: The Way It Is” premiered on BET on July 12, 2006, and is BET’s highest ranked reality show.

According to Ryan Cameron of the popular Ryan Cameron Show on V-103, Keri Hilson is set to play Usher’s love interest in the video for the first official track off his as yet untitled CD.
The track, “Love in This Club” featuring Young Jeezy, is produced by Polow Da Don and currently sits at #19 with a bullet on the charts.
They say Usher’s wife, Tameka Foster Raymond, is directing the video.
Okay I’m kidding! But I’m sure she’ll be on the set.
JUST FRIENDS
According to a source close to Keyshia Cole’s camp, “Keyshia and Floyd Mayweather are not an item. They really don’t know each other that well. She was in Vegas on vacation and attended his b’day party. That’s all there was to it!
The media is just trying to make a big deal out of nothing.”
Young Jeezy Makes a Wish Come True Tonight

The rumors that plagued Young Jeezy‘s “Make Your Dreams Come True” contest will be settled tonight when Jeezy makes a North Carolina woman’s wish come true.
Rumor had it that Jeezy, real name Jay Jenkins, refused to grant contest winner Tamara Jenkins-Wilson‘s wish for a wheelchair accessible van to transport her disabled son because he didn’t want to pay for it.
Jeezy’s camp strenuously denied the Internet rumors. Mrs. Jenkins-Wilson and her son, Davon Jenkins, 13, will be presented with the customized wheelchair accessible van tonight at a special dinner at Justin’s restaurant.
In her winning letter, Jenkins-Wilson, who is no relation to Jeezy, wrote, “My ultimate dream would be for me to provide a Wheelchair Accessible Van for my son, Davon Jenkins. Davon is 13-years-old and has cerebral palsy and is confined to a wheelchair.” Mrs. Wilson whose husband is currently serving his country in Iraq, continued, “I physically lift [Davon] in and out of our vehicle when we need to go to appointments and such.”
Jeezy flew members of Jenkins-Wilson’s family to Atlanta where they will join members of his own family for the special dinner and presentation at Justin’s restaurant tonight. Jeezy’s boo Keyshia Cole is not expected to attend.
Rumor Control: Keyshia Cole is Not Pregnant
Some rumors are so dumb they defy all logic. The newest dumb rumor to hit the Internets claims Keyshia Cole is in the early stages of pregnancy and that the baby’s father is some random executive. First of all, Keyshia made it clear to me that she and her longtime boyfriend, Young Jeezy, live together. So unless they had an orgy – which I highly doubt – this rumor is bogus.
