Jeezy has walked back his request for full custody of his two-year-old daughter Monaco with estranged wife Jeannie Mai.
According to TMZ, the rapper — who recently claimed Mai ‘isn’t taking care of their child’ — is now asking a judge for joint custody and a temporary parenting schedule.
He wants time with Monaco to be equally split between both parents.
Jeezy claims that he’s hardly seen his daughter in 2024 because Mai has allegedly failed to adhere to the custody arrangement they agreed upon in mediation last year.
Although Mai agreed to let him take Monaco from the dates of March 3 to March 9, Jeezy alleges that plans to see his child again in early April were thwarted.
He claims that Monaco was not at his and Jeannie’s marital home when he sent someone there to pick her up on visitation day.

The Put On hitmaker claims that he’s often left in the dark about his child’s location now that Jeannie and Monaco no longer live in the home.
He claims that Jeannie has his cellphone number blocked so he is unable to see Monaco via FaceTime.
He also alleges that Jeannie is bothered by him being a gun owner despite him having always owned guns.
Jeezy is requesting that a hearing be held to work out the details of a temporary parenting schedule as their divorce battle rages on.
This comes just one week after he shocked fans by petitioning an Atlanta judge to discard the custody and parenting time arrangement that he and Jeannie, 44, agreed upon in recent mediation and wanted Monaco to live with him full time.
He alleged that ‘Jeannie isn’t even taking care of their kid herself,’ per the outlet.
Additionally, the Soul Survivor hitmaker claimed that Jeannie had denied him parenting time with Monaco for nearly two months.
Initially, during his separation from Mai, Jeezy consented to relocate to the basement, while Mai eventually vacated their residence, taking Monaco with her.
He now asserts that over the past two months, during which his parenting time has been denied, their daughter has predominantly been under the care of Mai’s mother and brother, while Mai, as the host of The Talk, maintains a demanding travel itinerary.
In essence, Jeezy argued that Monaco’s life would be more stable under his sole guardianship.
The court filing comes four months after Jeannie requested that the court hold off on enforcing her prenup with Jeezy as she claims that she did not have enough time to review it before signing after conflicting statements about their separation.

The television personality filed the request in Fulton County Superior Court in Georgia.
In it Jeannie is asking judge to either deny the rapper’s motion to enforce the prenuptial agreement or at least hold off on enforcing it until both parties can exchange info about it.
The publication reports that the documents indicate that Jeannie said the prenup process was so quick that she doesn’t believe that she had the time to be able to do the proper due diligence on the agreement.
She claims that the two had only started negotiating five days before their wedding.
Jeannie alleges that she did not go through Jeezy’s – born Jay Wayne Jenkins – financial disclosures as thoroughly as she would have liked in order to make sure that she was getting a fair deal.
According to TMZ, Jeannie says in the documents that the smaller window ‘raises significant concerns about the adequacy and thoroughness of the due diligence process.’
Jeannie also said that she believes she has ‘significant reservations’ about her now ex’s financial disclosures.
Her legal team says that the rapper only handed over one personal financial statement with approximate taxes and insists she was legally entitled to a thorough examination of all relevant documents.
Just a month ago Jeannie and Jeezy have made conflicting statements about their separation.
The television personality claimed that she found out about her divorce from the news while the rapper reportedly stated that was not true.
On Monday, December 4, the actress made an appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show and admitted she was ‘gutted’ after learning about her now-estranged husband filing for divorce.

Just days after she suggested her ex was allegedly unfaithful, he told the host that finding out ‘at the same time as the rest of the world’ was ‘kinda hard’, but the split is something she is ‘taking day by day’.
That came about two months after it was reported that the pair had split and filed for divorce in September.
‘I think I’m doing better now,’ she said after Hudson asked how she has been doing since the separation.
However, she admitted that she couldn’t say the same for weeks ago when she had been allegedly blindsided by Jeezy, whose real name is Jay Wayne Jenkins.
‘At the time, when I found out at the same time as the rest of the world that my marriage was ending in divorce, I was gutted,’ she said.
In the aftermath of their split, she said that she has been ‘picking up the pieces’ and has been focusing on ‘discovering’ herself.
Most importantly, she said that her main priority is ‘being a mom to the best blessing in my life — my little girl.’
About a year ago, Mai had welcomed her daughter Monaco, nearly 11-months-old, with Jenkins.

She also said on the show that she wants to make sure that their child gets to spend time with her father for the holidays.
Just last week, Mai had cited her pre-nuptial agreement in her divorce petition response to Jenkins and suggested that Jenkins had been unfaithful.
A source told TMZ just hours after The Jennifer Hudson Show episode with Mai’s guest appearance aired on Monday that those claims were false.
The insider said Jenkins also refuted what his estranged wife said on the show about how he had blindsided her about their divorce.
He alleged that it was something they both knew was coming as they had gone to multiple marriage counselors and therapists in the time leading up to their split, the source told the outlet.
They also claimed that Jenkins is adamantly refuting the cheating allegations.
