Just last year, Jeezy opened up about his plans and retirement. “It’s never been about materialistic things,” he told V Files. “It’s about, ‘What can I do this year? What didn’t I do last year? Where do I see myself in ten years? Where do I wanna retire?’ I’d love to have a beach house in St. Thomas and kick my shoes f, get all in the sand. I came from project living!”
