Jeezy used to be managed by Kevin “Coach K” Lee until they had a falling out.
Of course, both men went onto find success afterward, Jeezy by strengthening his brand, and Lee by being the co-founder of Quality Control Music.
Jeezy spoke about his past rift with his former manager during an interview on Drink Champs and said it all had to do with a lack of communication. [Jump to the 58:19 mark]
“When money is at play and there’s not the right type of communication, the lines seem to get blurred," said Jeezy, who recently explained why he doesn't care about street cred anymore. "I just didn’t trust a lot of things ... So if you’re not communicating with somebody and it’s not going how you want it to go, of course you’re gonna be like, ‘Yo, I’m not rocking like that.’ Then he probably thought it ain’t going how he want it to go.”
He continued.“It was never no issue that we couldn’t resolve, but I just think,when it wasn’t talked about pre-money and pre-success, there’s a lot of expectations there, and you know how it go with expectations. If it ain’t what you want, you feel let down. And I still got love for Coach. I’m happy he’s successful, I’m happy he done what he did. I hear people all the time… ‘Jeezy ain’t put nobody on.’ But just look around, Coach is on.”
