Jeezy Reveals Being Molested As A Child In Interview With Nia Long

In an hour-long conversation with actress Nia Long and Jeezy shared that he was molested when he was a child in the interview, Long asked him what the "activation moment of trauma" was for the rapper, and he said he was sexually abused when growing up. "I think there was several things," he shared. "The first was being left with a babysitter. There was a woman that was older than me and her, touching and doing things to me that don't normally happen to kids. Long asked "like molesting," and Jeezy replied, "Right, basically." He went on to explain that there was another major traumatic incident in his childhood, which had a big impact on him. He continued, "Second thing was that I had this lady that lived next door to us in an apartment. She was married to this guy, they had two kids around my age and I used to hang out with them. And I was there one day, and I remember like it was yesterday, they got into an argument and, me and the little boys was playing in the room. And I heard them, you know, and I heard that saying before, 'Yeah you wait til I get back, I'll be right back.' I kind of looked at the boys, I'm like, 'Yo, you know.' And sure enough, he came running upstairs and he went in the closet, right, and when he was going to the closet he was fumbling through the closet. I saw when he pulled it out, it was like a big silver 357. I looked at them and I immediately was like, 'yo we gotta hide. He said the woman was shot four times by her husband. Eventually, police found Jeezy hiding under a sink. While he and the other kids were unharmed, the whole experience stuck with him. "I was eight, I had already accepted this is the norm," he said, noting that he was "desensitized.
