Jeezy is searching for a new management team after losing all trust in his previous one—and now he’s taking legal action.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ Hip Hop, the rap icon is suing his longtime manager, Solomon Fornie, and business associate, Eddie Bridgeman, accusing them of profiting from his success without his knowledge.
Jeezy and Fornie’s partnership dates back a decade before they co-founded Agency 99 to manage his earnings as a recording artist. Bridgeman’s company, The SaiSai Group, was later brought in to handle Agency 99’s financial affairs. However, Jeezy alleges he later discovered Bridgeman was not a licensed CPA.
By late 2024, Jeezy had grown frustrated and began taking steps to end his business ties with Fornie and Bridgeman. He claims they have since blocked his attempts to access financial records, leaving him unable to comply with Georgia law to either reinstate or dissolve Agency 99.
With no access to the books, Jeezy says he is at a standstill. Now, he’s turning to the courts to force Fornie and Bridgeman to release all financial records.
Along with seeking full transparency, he is also demanding damages.
Born Jay Wayne Jenkins, Young Jeezy emerged in the early 2000s as a defining voice in Southern hip-hop. Rising from Atlanta’s mixtape circuit, he gained national recognition with Let’s Get It: Thug Motivation 101 (2005), a platinum-certified debut that set the blueprint for trap music. His raw, motivational lyrics and signature rasp cemented his place in rap history.
As a member of Boyz N Da Hood, he briefly signed with Bad Boy Records before focusing on his solo career under Def Jam. His follow-ups, The Inspiration (2006) and The Recession (2008), topped the charts, delivering hits like “Go Getta” and “Put On.” Jeezy’s music became anthemic, speaking to ambition, struggle, and success.
Throughout the 2010s, he remained a force with albums like TM103: Hustlerz Ambition and Seen It All: The Autobiography, collaborating with icons like Jay-Z and Kanye West. He later shifted toward business, launching brands and investing in real estate. His 2020 album, The Recession 2, reflected on social issues and personal growth.
Beyond music, Jeezy is an entrepreneur, philanthropist, and author, proving his influence extends beyond rap. His legacy as a pioneer of trap music remains undeniable.
