Jeezy, the rapper, has revised his request for custody of his daughter Monaco, 2, amidst his divorce proceedings with Jeannie Mai. In new legal documents, Jeezy is now seeking joint physical and legal custody of his daughter, emphasizing the importance of determining a parenting schedule that aligns with the best interest of Monaco.

The artist, whose real name is Jay Wayne Jenkins, has consistently expressed his desire for shared custody of Monaco. He mentioned that an informal custody arrangement with Mai, established last year, had broken down in early 2024. Jeezy claimed that he had limited parenting time with Monaco throughout the year and alleged that Mai had obstructed his attempts to communicate with their daughter.

Last week, Jeezy filed for primary custody of Monaco, surpassing the previous custody agreement reached through mediation. He disclosed that Mai had relocated with Monaco after initially agreeing to live separately within their shared residence during their separation. Jeezy expressed concerns about Monaco’s living situation and care arrangements in Mai’s absence.

During a brief parenting time period in Dallas, Jeezy observed Monaco’s condition, stating that she appeared fatigued and underweight. He argued that having primary physical custody would provide Monaco with more stability and a consistent environment.

As the legal proceedings continue, Jeezy is advocating for a custody arrangement that prioritizes Monaco’s well-being and ensures both parents are involved in her upbringing. The case reflects the complexities of co-parenting dynamics amidst divorce and highlights the challenges of maintaining parental involvement in the child’s life.
