First-time cover star Young Jeezy, who is best known for telling stories of his dangerous past in his music, opens up about his family life and his rumored relationship with R&B songstress Keyshia Cole. In a one-on-one interview with Vibe Senior Editor Benjamin Meadows-Ingram, Jeezy, who has two platinum albums and a current hit single featuring Kanye West ("Put On"), speaks candidly about everything from music to politics:
Although he recently endorsed Senator Barack Obama, Jeezy comments on meeting presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain [on the set of SNL]: "No disrespect to my man Barack but I f--- with John McCain. He greeted me like a G. The fact that he acknowledged me was crazy...I like Barack, but at the same time I wanted to see what McCain was talking about."
Jeezy's comments on his rumored relationship with Keyshia Cole: "To be honest, it was more what she wanted. She was cool and we had a cool friendship. The media made it out to be something crazy. We kicked it. We hung out. Thing is, you can't be cool with somebody you wanna be cool with [without the media thinking it's a relationship]. I was grown enough to tell her, Look baby, that isn't what it is right now."
Jeezy talks about his career-threatening vocal injury: "When I first got into music, nobody taught me how to record or how to perform so I just did it with all my heart. I overdid it and it ripped my shit damn near in half."
