Before You To
This week, Atlanta rapper Jeezy shared his thoughts about the coronavirus. During the Q&A, Jeezy also discussed President Donald Trump making the COVID-19 pandemic more about himself than the country.
“For me, I’ve seen those type of people in my life and Trump, he’s one of a kind because it takes a different type of leader to make things about him. I just feel a lot of times you see his ego. Right now, you know, it’s about the people. To me, you talking about ‘Make America Great.’ We gon’ make America greater than it’s ever been with or without him. He gotta understand that. We are the people. You are one person and we get it. But this is not about you right now. We all in this together. You know, all of us. So, we have to make this about us, not about you.” (MSNBC)
“Integrity is the most valuable and respected quality of a leader. You can have a Billon dollars and can’t buy that. You can’t lead us, if your ego is leading you. Ps: We The People. One time for @arimelberMSNBC Thanks for having me. #KeepGoing‼️ @thebeatwithari” -Jeezy’s Instagram
