Jeezy is no longer concerned with splashing his cash on cars or jewelry, especially when it comes to treating himself on his birthday.
During a recent appearance on the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast, the Atlanta hustler spoke about his growing real estate portfolio, revealing he invests in property — not flashy possessions — every time he turns a year older.
“Every big check I ever got, I bought property. Every time I had a birthday, I buy property,” he said. “I don’t buy chains, watches, cars, none of that; I buy property.”
Jeezy, who claimed he owns “half of Atlanta,” delved deeper into his journey from “trap king to rap king to real estate king,” crediting his close friend and business partner Solo for putting him on game.
“We went and bought all this land and buildings in the beginning. I kinda fell back from it because I was touring. I got back and he was like, ‘Come sit down and talk to me,'” he explained.
“He broke out the business and was like, ‘You know this building you bought for such-and-such is worth this now. And this land you bought for this is worth this now.’ I’m looking and I’m like, ‘Damn! We didn’t do anything.’ He was like, ‘That’s what I’m trying to tell you, that’s what real estate is.’ From that day forward, I was stuck.”
Despite carving out a successful and influential path in Hip Hop, Jeezy revealed business — not music — has always been his primary passion. Now that his hustler’s ambition has been realized, the Snowman is only looking to share the wisdom and wealth — in true thug motivation fashion.
“When I got the game, I just really wanted to give it to everybody else ’cause it was sweet! I’m like, ‘Why we flipping bricks when we can be doing this shit? It’s easy!'” he said.
“You ask some of my people like the Lakes, the DJ Dramas, I gave them all the game, all the connects, all the people because they’re getting real money and they’re doing real things. And they’re gonna turn their artists on and people they know.”
He added: “For me, it’s like, ‘I can’t buy all the property so let’s do it together!'”
Jeezy Says Street Cred Is No Longer Important To Him: ‘I Don’t Need Validation To Be A Real Man’
Despite his ever-expanding real estate empire, Jeezy hasn’t hung up his mic just yet. Last week, the CTE boss released his latest mixtape, Snofall, with long-time Gangsta Grillz collaborator DJ Drama. The project clocked in at 17 songs and featured appearances from Lil Durk, EST Gee and 42 Dugg.
Jeezy and DJ Drama also recently took their classic mixtape catalog on the road via a series of “B Side” concerts in Atlanta and Detroit, where they performed hits like “Dem Boyz,” “Who Dat” and Jeezy’s verse on Shawty Lo’s “Dey Know (Remix).”
Flippin bricks is how you come up to flippin’ actual construction bricks!!! Whatchutalmbout?
to all the retards reading this and thinkin about real estate, its to late those days are gone. ahhahahaha
please explain… because i really think you don’t understand real estate at all
i actually do. if u got into realestate back in 2010 like i did, ud know todays market to way to hostile.
I read the BMF book and it seemed that he was a typical rapper telling stories about selling drugs, because that’s what a lot of the hiphop community gravitates toward. Salute to him for growing his money though!
Go listen to Kinky B and Goldmouth talk about it. Jeezy was a well known millionaire dealer well before rapping. Plenty of stories on those days.
Weirdos like Jeezy really think Black Capitalism solves racism and puts them beyond racism in America. Buy all the real estate you want, marry all the Asian women you can, you’re still a Black Man in America.
jeezy is a known bitch, gucci proved it. this dude is a sellout. fuck this ” black power ” when he with white ppl
As long as dude is doing something positive with his $$, it’s okay!! Better than throwing it around in the strip clubs and gambling it off!!
Damn. That’s a laaaattta trap houses to set up
Now that’s how you build potential generational wealth. Cars..chains..bitches don’t do that. If only more brothers and sisters did it. That’s how you grow. You can leave it to your children. They can hopefully take it to the next level.
