While speaking with her fellow co-hosts, Mai shared that she really wants Jeezy to lead in their marriage while she takes on a more submissive role. Although some may have a negative take on that, Mai made it clear that being submissive in her context doesn’t mean she is “lower” than her husband.
“So, I’m gonna say right here, that I, Jeannie Mai, going into my marriage — I want to submit to my man. Let me explain,” she said. “When I hear this definition … submitting has a negative connotation. It means that you are less important, you are lower than that person that you’re submitting to. It usually can be like, you know, referenced as somebody who works lower than you and that’s not what I’m referring to here.” She went on to break things down: “I’m a very dominant woman. I own my business, I lead my teams, I played my own manager, my own publicist, my own lawyer when I didn’t have money to have those people,” she explained. “So, I make the decisions in my life.”
She added,
“When I come home, I like the idea that my man leads us. That doesn’t mean that in this case, Jay makes all the decisions for us. That doesn’t mean that when he says, ‘How are we spending our money?’ or ‘Where are we moving?’ that I just say, ‘Yes sir,’ or ‘Yes, your honor.’ Like, it’s not that. It’s a, ‘You know what? I think that we would do best here, I want to do this,’ and he takes the decision, he formulates it with our overall vision, and he leads us and I like to submit to that.”
“The Dancing With the Stars“ contestant and the rapper have been dating since November of 2018, though they didn’t confirm their relationship until the middle of last year. Jeezy, 42, popped the big question back in March during an at-home date night in Los Angeles, having originally planned to propose in Vietnam.
