Rapper Jeezy is mourning the death of his mother.
Jezzy, 43, revealed on Instagram Wednesday that his mother had been laid to rest. The rap star shared a photo of himself placing his right hand on his mother’s casket as he penned a touching tribute to her.
“You taught me to be a man when I was a boy. Made me man up be a father when I was a kid. Raised me to be a natural born leader when I was lost.” Jeezy wrote in the caption. “You lifted me when I was down. Inspired me when I had no inspiration. Always told me I was Bigger than my circumstances.”
Jeezy, with an expression of gratitude for his mom’s love and support, further wrote about how strong her mother was, fearing no obstacle or setbacks and how she always encouraged him in everything he did.
“My Super Hero. Feared nothing or no one.. No obstacle or set backs. One of the only people in the world I could trust. When I had nothing or no one, I had you Mamma. You was hard on me. I thank you for that. You gave me confidence when I didn’t have any. Made me feel like I can put the world on my back and walk barefoot. You never judged or down talked my dreams. Or my downfalls. You just encouraged. I thank GOD you got a glimpse of the Man and Woman you raised and all the good we gave to world all because you gave it to us. My faith is strong. I know God has you now. “
Jeezy also remembered his late brother, Michael, in the post telling his mother to extend his greetings and love to him on the other side. He finally concluded his emotional tribute with a sweet promise to his mother.
“We let heaven borrow our Angel. Kiss my brother Michael. Tell em we love him. And to take care of you. You are in a better place. Dancing and singing to your favorite songs. With that beautiful smile on your face…I will continue to make you proud. I LOVE YOU MOMMA. FOREVER MY MOMMA’S BABY. Don’t you worry, I got Trina and the Family. Rest in Heaven our Queen.”
The cause of his mother’s death is yet to be revealed. But Jeezy talked about his mother battling undisclosed health complications in 2019.
