00:00 but I can't honestly tell you that I've experienced love.
00:03 Like, especially non-conditional.
00:05 Like, I couldn't tell you that.
00:06 Jeezy gives new insight into his split from Jeannie Mai.
00:10 The rapper sits down with actress Nia Long
00:13 for an interview posted to his YouTube page.
00:16 He gets candid about how he's doing
00:18 in the wake of filing for divorce
00:20 from the former talk show host.
00:24 Integrity and tech, I could never say anything
00:27 that would not honor somebody.
00:30 Absolutely.
00:31 But I can tell you that this has not been a easy journey.
00:36 I can tell you that I'm sad,
00:42 and I can tell you that I'm disappointed.
00:44 I can tell you that I'm uneasy.
00:48 Without getting into the details,
00:50 Jeezy later says that despite trying therapy together,
00:54 the two, who share 20-month-old daughter Monaco,
00:57 could not make things work.
00:59 Did you go to therapy with her?
01:02 Yeah.
01:03 Okay, that's good.
01:04 Right.
01:05 So you actually addressed it,
01:07 tried to work through it, tried to do the work,
01:10 and it just was like not happening.
01:13 It's not.
01:13 He also expresses what's next for him
01:15 on his journey post-split.
01:18 God has put me in a different path,
01:20 and that path is gonna entail for me
01:22 to take care of myself and to love myself
01:26 and to be in the best situation that I can thrive
01:31 as someone who've been through
01:33 all the things that I've been through.
01:34 Jeezy filed for divorce from his wife
01:36 of two years in September,
01:38 later revealing in a statement obtained by E! News,
01:42 "The decision to end this chapter in my life
01:44 was not made impulsively and comes with a heavy heart.
01:48 Despite this, my love and respect for Jeannie remains,
01:52 and the time we spent together
01:53 holds a cherished place in my heart."
01:56 He went on to express how he and Jeannie
01:58 will continue to put Monaco first,
02:01 adding, "Our beautiful daughter
02:03 is the best gift from our relationship,
02:05 and I am committed to assuring she feels
02:08 the love and stability she deserves."
02:11 Jeannie broke her silence on the split from her ex
02:14 in an appearance on Sherri Shepherd's talk show last month.
02:18 You know, I'm not gonna lie,
02:20 you know, it takes every day to just really sit
02:23 and just be quiet in your thoughts, take care of me.
02:27 But one thing I know is, you give God your pain,
02:29 he will give you his power.
02:31 Girl, period.
02:33 Jeezy filed for divorce in Atlanta, Georgia,
02:36 noting in court documents that he and Jeannie
02:38 are currently living in a bona fide state of separation
02:42 and that their marriage is irretrievably broken.
