Jeezy’s Former Manager Files Counterclaim Alleging Unpaid Debts, Broken Promises & Role In Reviving Rapper’s Career

Solomon Fornie, former manager of rapper Jeezy, has filed a counterclaim in response to Jeezy’s lawsuit alleging mismanagement. Fornie says he was the one who helped save Jeezy’s career and finances — not sabotage them.

Key claims in the counterclaim:

– Jeezy was broke and facing multiple lawsuits when Fornie stepped in, including from Kinky B, Coach K, and Yusef.

– Fornie paid off Jeezy’s homes, covered payroll, and borrowed $400K to keep Jeezy’s businesses afloat — which still hasn’t been repaid.

– He negotiated major deals for Jeezy, including his NYT bestselling book, Avion Tequila, Naud Cognac, Defiance Fuel, a FOX Soul talk show, and a $15M publishing deal with HarbourView — but was only partially compensated.

– For five years, Fornie worked without commission, relying on a small stipend from the Avion deal.

Fornie stated:

“I put my finances, my credit, and my reputation on the line to rebuild Jenkins’ career from the ground up. He went from foreclosure to Forbes, and now he wants to pretend I was never there.”
