Young Jeezy Arrested for Driving While Black in Atlanta

Sandra Rose July 27, 2011

Poor Young Jeezy: his victorious comeback TM 103 promo concert in New York City drew such Hip Hop heavyweights as Jay Z and Kanye West to the stage on Monday. But his big comeback was marred by an incident that occurred 2 days before the concert. According to celebrity blogger Michelle of Straightfromthea.com, the Thug Motivation rapper was pulled over and almost arrested in upscale Buckhead (an Atlanta suburb) on Saturday, July 24.

Michelle posted these Exclusive pictures of Jeezy being harassed by the Atlanta PD. Jeezy seems to be taking it well as he calmly explains his situation to the cops. We don’t know the details of Jeezy’s traffic infraction, or if he was even ticketed. It’s almost a routine occurrence to be pulled over if you’re driving while Black in Buckhead. Especially if you’re behind the wheel of a brand new $150,000 Ferrari California.

I guess…

Well when you always rap about selling and doing drugs you make yourself a target. And who’s to say he wasn’t speeding, riding without a seat belt, ran a stop sign, etc.

Sandra I saw that Fox 5 story on Eddie Long’s 5th lover. You best to believe ole boy/girl got paid. Where he get the money to be riding around in limos and paying for $100/hour studio sessions just for fun? He didn’t even have to file legal paperwork. Just showed up at the settlement talks and cha ching! Poor Eddie. He gonna lose a few more members over this revelation.

Ummm….Sandra, the story I read said nothing about him being arrested. He was given a ticket. Do you think they would have him out there chillin’ with them if they were going to arrest him? Not at all!!

It’s funny to hear women say Jeezy is fine! hahaha If he wasn’t Jeezy and was pulled over in a 93 Accord or even 2011 Nissan Versa. No one would care I remember chicks not gawking over him when he was just Lil J from Augusta. hilarious

Celebritism and money should be an attribute just like looks or character.

Uhhmmmmm I don’t know about yall but that aint no routine traffic stop. Those aren’t your regular routine APD police …. they look more like a specialty area like DT’s or narcotics are something … those police are plain clothed

They aint have chit else to do but profile

This can’t be auntie. Anyone from Atlanta knows Buckhead is a district of Atlanta, NOT a suburb. And still all them damn black people I see in expensive cars NEVER pulled over. Don’t start that racist sht today. I could see some truth in this if he was in Alpharetta. Good afternoon fam!

Everytime a black person gets pulled over is not always because he is black, it is possbile he made some kind of violation. Doesn’t look like he is being arrested or anything close to that from the pics, both parties are way too calm.
