    “I will kill you. I will put a bullet in your head right now … If I could get away with it, I would kill you.”

    The R&B artist’s son also revealed that he tried to escape from his father’s physical abuse but with the help of his bodyguard, Jeezy blocked him in the stairwell. His son again added that his father choked and punched him repeatedly.

    “Nah, I would never let that happen. No! It’s a different game.”

    Jeezy also added that he would let his sons have honest reviews of the songs they would publish.
