Jeezy hosted an Atlanta screening of his “Legend of Snowman: Against All Odds” interview with Don Lemon as an extension of the Legend of the Snowman, Jeezy’s wildly successful Las Vegas residency with a 101-member orchestra at PH Live at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino.

Two of culture’s most influential and outspoken voices come together for a rare and compelling conversation in Legend of the Snowman: Against All Odds, a premium special event featuring award-winning journalist, bestselling author, and influential media figure Don Lemon, alongside Grammy-nominated artist, New York Times bestselling author, entrepreneur, and multi-platinum recording artist Jay “Jeezy” Jenkins.

Advance screenings of the special were held for intimate VIP audiences in both New York at CORE: Club and in Atlanta at RETREAT by The Gathering Spot.

Guests had an open bar, appetizers, and a post-screening Q&A as Jeezy discussed his rise, early struggles, and past legal challenges. He emphasized discipline, focus, and long-term thinking for young Black men pursuing success.

“Some conversations just entertain. Others challenge perspectives and create cultural impact,” said Mr. Jenkins. “This is one of those conversations.”

“Jeezy and I have had success and we come from very different backgrounds, but our worlds aren’t that different,” said Don Lemon. “The struggles are similar, and the way you get there is the same: you have to believe in yourself, stay relentless, be willing to change, and use the setbacks and the criticism as motivation. I’m grateful I got to have this conversation with Jeezy, and I hope it inspires others to follow in our footsteps.”

Throughout the special, Lemon and Jenkins offer unique perspectives shaped by decades of influence across life, media, music, business, and culture. Their dialogue highlights the power of resilience, the responsibility that comes with influence, and the courage required to evolve while remaining true to oneself.
