Rapper Jeezy was promoting his new book, Adversity For Sale: Ya Gotta Believe, when he appeared on The Daily Cannon Morning Show, and he recalled the Atlanta high-end steakhouse he owned called American Cut.
"It had three stories, it was beautiful, and it was like my best-kept secret," Jeezy told Nick Cannon. "I remember when Nas was on tour and he stopped by and he was like 'Yo, you own this? This is crazy.'"
Jeezy had kept his ownership of American Cut private, but he let the cat out of the bag when he went on a local radio station. Unfortunately, this didn't end up having the desired effect, and Jeezy noticed the restaurant start to go downhill.
"I went back there, you would have thought it was Freaknik. It started going down. You go over there to eat and you start seeing cats you used to hustle with. And I'm like, 'Oh my God. You go up the stairs and they're trying to smoke weed and I'm like, 'Man, what we doing?'"
The news that Jeezy's restaurant had gone downhill after he announced he owned it was met with disappointment from fans. Many expressed their frustration at Jeezy's peers for ruining a business venture that could have helped strengthen Atlanta's local economy and add Black ownership to the luxury restaurant market.
"Sometimes you gotta keep certain things a secret," one person wrote. "They bogus for ruining that man's restaurant. Who tf would go into any restaurant and flame up a blunt?"
"Hard pill to swallow but not everyone deserves to be in your life," added someone else. "None of these ppl had his best interest at heart. Living off 'you used to be this way' nah get outta here with that."
