Jeezy claims Atlanta rapper T.I. convinced him to stop hustling and focus on the music.
“I’m working on Thug Motivation, T.I. comes to the studio. I’m doing my thug thing, I probably got about 2.5 in the booth sitting with me,” Jeezy said on Drink Champs. “I’ll never forget, he looked in and was like, ‘Yo, let me holla at you for a second.'”
He continued, “So we walked in the bathroom. You know how Tip is, he look under the stalls and everything like it’s G14 classified. And he goes, ‘Yo, you know you can’t do both, right? You’re talented, you’re gonna blow at some point. If you continue to do what you’re doing, I don’t know how it’s gonna work out for you.’
“I looked at him and said, ‘Well, shit. Don’t you do both? ‘Cause you the Rubber Band Man.’ He’s like, ‘Hell nah! I left that alone a long time ago.’ For me, that was a real wake-up call.”
Was this good advice from T.I.?
