Jeezy was recently a guest on The Breakfast Club and explained that since he's fully embraced adulthood, street cred isn't a thing he's that concerned about anymore.

“I really think that when you start walking in those rooms, and you trying to do business, nobody really care about what you done on the streets, and then as a man you shouldn’t care,” Jeezy said after Charlamagne praised him for realizing that street cred doesn't matter when you're busy adulting. “Cause what people think about me ain’t none of my spiritual business. It’s just not, but for me I don’t need validation by what you consider to be real for me to be a real man.”

Per HipHipDX, he remembered the time when he was arrested along with six other people, in Irvine, California, after a man was shot and killed backstage at the Under the Influence of Music tour he co-headlined with Wiz Khalifa. No one was charged but that brief stint caused him to reevaluate his priorities.

“Let's take the rapper and artist out of it, and a lot of the things I did because I was trying to get validation,” Jeezy said. “I wanted people to know my issue. I’m doing this now, and the last time I got locked up in LA when that accident happened in The Bay like that’s when I was really like, ‘You got the world, you successful, you on tour, you doing 30,000 people a night and you in jail. For what?’ I’m sitting there going like, ‘I’m really throwing my whole career away.’ I’m trying to live by a stereotype of the code and if I do go to prison, ain’t none of these people finna send me money. They ain’t finna write me.”

Jeezy is currently promoting his latest release, the 17-track project, Snofall, with DJ Drama. Check out his Breakfast Club interview below.
