Jeezy’s bodyguard is expressing his outrage after enduring a life-altering injury while attempting to protect the rapper, reportedly over a mere $200 payment. The bodyguard, identified in a recent interview, recounted the harrowing events that unfolded in a Los Angeles club, where he was shot while shielding Jeezy from gunfire.
The incident occurred when gunshots rang out during what was supposed to be a night of celebration. According to the bodyguard, he was trying to persuade Jeezy to leave the venue, as the rapper appeared intoxicated and reluctant to depart. In a split second, when the shots were fired, the bodyguard instinctively pushed Jeezy to the ground, resulting in him being struck by a bullet intended for the rapper.
Initially, the bodyguard said he felt a sense of pride in his role, having been a protege in Jeezy’s inner circle. However, his feelings quickly soured after the shooting. He expected to receive support and acknowledgment for his actions, especially since he had sustained a bullet wound that required medical attention. Instead, he found himself feeling neglected when no calls or visits came from Jeezy following the incident.
After being shot, the bodyguard was left waiting for nearly a month with a bullet in his hand before receiving treatment. He shared his frustration about being treated like just another patient at Grady Hospital, where he waited in line among many others, feeling undervalued for risking his life.
The bodyguard’s disappointment was compounded by the perception that Jeezy was more concerned with his own fitness routine than the well-being of the man who had just saved his life. In the aftermath, he expressed disbelief that a millionaire like Jeezy would not take the time to check on him after such a traumatic event.
The bodyguard’s journey did not end there. He recounted his return home, where he faced the realities of family life. With a wife and three children waiting for him, he had to endure a long, uncomfortable ride back on a tour bus, reflecting on the risks he took to protect his employer.
This incident raises broader questions about the treatment of those in protective roles and the expectations placed on them, particularly when their lives are put on the line for others. The bodyguard’s story serves as a reminder of the human cost that often goes unnoticed in the world of celebrity and fame.
