On Tuesday evening (November 10), rap legend Jeezy, 49, celebrated his 6th Annual Sno Ball Fundraising Gala in his hometown of Atlanta, GA, featuring host Bill Bellamy, and special guests like Big Tigger and DJ Drama.
In between dates of his highly-successful Las Vegas residency, ’The Legend of The Snowman,’ Jeezy, born Jay Jenkins, took a moment to highlight and give back to his city.
The unforgettable evening was full of celebration, philanthropy, and purpose benefiting Jeezy’s Street Dreamz Foundation. The event was once again held at the Delta Flight Museum, with an incredible after party to follow.
At this year’s Sno Ball, Jeezy honored Dr. Fahamu Pecou — a world famous African artist. Jeezy said most of the artwork in his home he had commissioned by Dr. Fahamu. Jeezy also honored Detroit Mayor Mary Sheffield. Jeezy’s connection with Detroit is nearly as strong as that of his native Atlanta hometown.
