After last week’s visit to lock-up, this is the second time he’s shelled out big bucks to help other people. As he explained to “The Breakfast Club,” he and a few of his staffers were arrested when authorities found an assault rifle on his tour bus following a deadly shooting at Wiz Khalifa‘s concert.

Jeezy was behind bars for a while and no one understood what took him so long to get himself out of custody. He revealed that he had his bail money ready to go the moment cops brought him in, but he stuck around in solidarity with his support team because he wasn’t going take off without them.

“They detained two of my bus drivers, and one of them was a 50-something-year-old lady,” said Jeezy. “I just feel like I couldn’t leave them in there. When I stepped in the door, I had the bailsman right there to get me out.”

He continued, “I just made it clear, ‘When I leave, we’re all leaving together.”

Jeezy eventually put up the cash to get his people out of lockup, and he considers it a small price to pay. “It’s only money, but it was more so about the principle to me. I wasn’t leaving no man behind I don’t care how it went down. We could have sat in there however long,” he said.

“When it’s all said and done, I’m confident that you will see that me, nor anyone that was a part of my crew had anything to do with anything,” He added. “When everything comes out and everything comes to the clear, I want to do this same interview so we can talk about how innocent I was.”
