One thing is for certain and two things are for sure, there are always and we repeat always three sides to a story and last night sources close to Def Jam’s VP and one of hip-hop’s favorite rapper rappers, Young Jeezy is speaking out.
We have learned that the arrest days ago stemmed from a family squabble that not only involved the rappers son but sources believe that this was motivated by the actions of his ex-girlfriend and the young man’s mother.
In our own investigation into the matter, we wondered why did it take an entire year for this case to be presented to a grand jury for prosecution. From the rappers account of what happened, it appeared that he might have only been exercising his parental right to discipline his child.
According what is being reported on TMZ:
Sources connected to Jeezy tell TMZ … the rapper and his 17-year-old son Jadarius did indeed get into a nuclear argument in September 2012, but it never turned really violent. We’re told it started when Jeezy told the teenager he had turned into a punk kid with an attitude and he didn’t want the kid staying at his house.
Our Jeezy sources say Jadarius became belligerent and the two starting screaming at each other. Jeezy claims he never hit, choked, or dragged his son, but admitted he shoved him to the ground when Jadarius got in his face.
As for the terroristic threats — Jeezy is accused of telling Jadarius, “I will kill you … I will put a bullet in your head right now” — the rapper claims all he said was something to the effect of, “I brought you into this world and I can take you out of it.”
From our prospective, this seems very plausible in light of the fact that most African-American baby-boomers know the phrase “I brought you in this world and I will take you out” has been used many times in homes when being disciplined by a parent.
Hopefully everyone involved will let cool heads prevail and not use children as a pawn in resolving adult situations.
