"I Might Forgive... But I Don't Forget" Full Conversation with Jay "Jeezy" Jenkins & Nia Long 

Portland, JAMAICA in the Building!!! 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

Love you baby ❤ 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾

❤

When you can say it out loud without breaking down, I feel that's when we accept our truth. Thank you for opening up we love you Jeezy!

Well said !

💖💯

That hit home …😢

We get tired of being Strong for the wrong reasons

Whew...😢😢😢

That statement hit home.

Very well said and you took the words right from my mouth ❤. They both have class and dignity. The authenticity shines through them. And super genuine. Most importantly, they believe in God.

Soul therapy like his song

The problem I notice is that, more often than not, is the entitlement mentality of kids and teens raised around money or of money, and I know if I had a lot of MONEY, and my children wanted something that I could easily afford it would be hard to tell them no hence encouraging the sense of entitlement which later becomes spoiledness and rebellious when they finally hear NO told to them.

definitely salute to the culture 🤞🏾

Facts!

I would love to have a real conversation with someone before I leave... because I don't know how to open

“A conversation between 2 emotionally competent ppl who are actively engaged in self healing self love”. That description was amazingly put. Love the choice of words here 💯

😂😂

Thats what an interview is man.😂 not to mention hes in control of the narrative so of course. When you produce it, star in it, its obviously a controlled environment, but yeah sure these 2 just were hanging out and a camera caught it SHUT THE FUCK UP DUDE.

Powerful!!!❤❤

#FACTS!!! The amount of VULNERABILITY in this recording of a genuine conversation is amazing!!!!

You are so right!

And that is what rings the bell. Interviews solicit information with questionable motives, conversations elicit information as a result of learning and teaching, that is based on selflessness which demonstrates caring.

Yes!!!!!

I agree!

#Facts 💯🎬

When I tell you that would be one talk show I'd actually watch

RRRRIGHT. Raw.. far from Fake or trying to be a certain personality.. A+ AUTHENTIC

Yessss I am willing to forgive ❤️ I’m happy to be in the space to understand true forgiveness for my own peace & sanity

full conversation

It was a conversation

YESS!

I wish these two could become a couple!

@@carolpeters2001 I was thinking that same thing! I was like where we going with this :)

I was thinking the same thing they would make a good couple it’s like they’re compatible 🩷

Factual 🤍

So True!

Yes! And Recovery is Daily❤

So have several kids and several girlfriends to heal

that is 200% true

Exactly! ❤

Yea it is real not a tear down just real feelings and very emotional as well as deep

Absolutely 🙌🏾🙌🏾

Absolutely. Not sure if you were alluding to that gender bashing crap between blk men and women on these platforms, but this positivity is definitely more reflective of how relationships and dealings between blk men and women in my real life social circles.

@@mobetta2092ll😅

Yes!

@@mobetta2092 I absolutely was. This is a conversation of both sides listening both verbally and non-verbally and im hear for it💯

I felt that as well..😢❤

@@nicholes8771 virtual hugs 🫂

Omg me too!! Goes to show what we really go through and how difficult it can be.

Oh my gosh yes !

sooooo true

I totally agree, these 2 have actually gave me something to think about. I have been on this journey with self and I find myself at times fighting demons within me. Watching this interview has given me more insight on the things I need to do for myself.

Best of Luck on your healing journey. It won’t be easy, but very possible! Praying that you find peace in such a chaotic 🌍 🙏🏾 🥺☮️ #MayPeaceBeWithYou💕

...yes, this is how I felt while listening...it was a DEEP yet profound, an intimate, but transparent, VERY needed call to alms. 😊I pray that Jeezy fans young & old would REALLY hear & FEEL what God is doing through Jeezy...it's HIS time & i'm happy to be a fan more now than ever before...he's helping in the healing process of A LOT of us, including me...& I pray those who watched & listened in a place of peace would put action to what they felt after. 🙏🏼😊 Inner peace is such a beautiful thing to seek & finally recieve. 💯

Yes to forgiveness!! But forgetting isn't a part of forgiveness. I think after forgiveness you don't think about the hurts/harms as much. You become freer mentally and emotionally in your soul.

🙏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾

MEANS, not MEANT! She is that relevant; her art, her relationship breakdown, and her growth is social currency for our community. ❤

Gm edagdwg God blessed them both life is soooooo real pay attention to who you are being yourself is real love him as a real child of God love to see him with his children a forever loving fan linda j. Peace

Dark comes before light❤

Agreed

You should’ve a million like or more for your comment 💯@ktwill2007

That's what you call intelligence.😊

Agreed and I love every min of this interview…

Same ❤

Eye bet dem start dating dating 🤷🏿‍♂️

​@KevenSylvain That's not a good idea. However chemistry is present . Nia never put marriage on the table, she has 2 kids by 2 different man and she is single. Facts 😊

​@@debrajames3865and Jeezy has 5 baby mamas and a criminal record

​@chellejohnson8880 It's all bad....the fact that she has 2 children out of wedlock and the fact that he has a criminal record. This is the problem with the black community. Men and Women are equally guilty. Instead of fixing the issue, yall wanna play tit for tat. Stop. Just stop. It's bad on both sides. We can and NEED to do so much better.

FACTS !!! I so wish we could it would be a game changer in our community.

Bm stop making single mothers would be a game changer in the community. Jeezy just made his 4th baby mama

Yep! This is what "they" have/are been collectively undermining all the time and will continue to. Black men are targeted by the world.

@@vmlksm9jeezy didn’t make the kids himself

​@@vmlksm9people find the dark in any light now days smh

Thank you. We love you too & wishing all the best in what ever journey you choose...

❤

We love you guys more than words can express. My husband, son, Son-N-Law, Stepson, uncles, cousins, etc. are loved deeply

As a white man!!! I feel you also, 33yrs old and growing up in west Baltimore city you see some shit to make you question love. This interview is so real & deep, you can tell they both enjoyed it

Indeed- We love y’all too ❤❤❤

Me too

Yessss

❤

Yes

Nia is not a complete women she is a divorce women a man in womans clothing with the exception in this interview were she is not hiding it by wearing a man's coat/blazer she is grooming boys and she needs to pass those boys to thier father after 7 oh she said the F word that man is coming out of her

Thank you the two of you are so realistic to life thank you for sharing openiness so very rare❤

Well said!

Sounds new age to me

Facts

You can feel the spirit of GOD in this interview

Definitely!!

Facts 🪬

I resonate 100% what you wrote, this is why I’m able for it not to affect me so much as an older adult. We don’t have a handbook on how to love or parent, I love my parents for the people they are, none of us are perfect. I’m ok with the decisions my mother made and I’m not bitter, my father is a whole different story however when I look at his childhood I understand how he is. You are right, self love is the most important thing, once we do this, we won’t look to anyone else to validate us.

👏

❤

Perfectly said

Thank you for your insight , this resonated so much with me .

With all the toxicity between Black Men & Women this is so necessary. We need to sit down and listen to each other for real

LMBO no

8:18 to forgive is powerful. This was a great interview.

Someone did give Nia a platform..His name is Jay JEZZY Jenkins

You should never forget, not that you are holding the person in your heart but you hold the experience. Experience brings wisdom.

I def agree..only thing..I like this format. No audience. Prime time tv slot.. You can def tell Nia is a conversationalist. Plus, I think if we normalize her in our home daily..Will she maintain star power for movies?

Introverts are so powerful

Yes I can see that. 😊

Yes..

Thank you both, life changing❤❤❤❤

You took the words right out my mouth!!!! I love this conversation it’s just natural and healing

Agreed 💯

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BsQOb75IrKo.htmlsi=g52EDpT7uLfd_pLc

Nah we don't. Both are headed in very different directions.

​@@plantiron???

@@1984hacked : I didn't stutter

Nahhhhh we don't

Black men are a lost cause we don’t need them

Same here...the tears were POURing. 😭🤣

Stop it

I don't see why you see or heard. It's appalling to hear this man destroy his family walk away because of his selfishness. He dated the women with his sound mind then wrote a book and threw his marriage away. No freaking way is he right for abandoning is family. Nia Long:smgdh

So dope to see him drop the young from his name and really elevate. Proud to be a fan my G. Speaking real grown man shit!!!

I totally agree

Not really WE all need to engage in discussions of this nature

A lot of people are not good listeners. So many just want to be right. I have learned a lot just listening to both of them. I didn’t know anything about Jezzy until now. He seems to be a good guy. Just been through some things. And I can tell Nia has been doing her work.

I love this interview ❤

​@karengaines9734 great assessment ❤

Black Voices...Unapologetically.

Come on! I like that. Them people would hate that 💯

Lol lmao why do yall say jezzy? 😂😂 it's jeezy

Not at all she was irritating

@@karstpark7293how?

Big time!

Did he talk about why he divorced his wife??

I absolutely agree! I love hearing him speak.

🫶🏾

❤

I know I don’t know yall but I love you. Nobody deserves to feel this way. 💜 I’m a woman who always believe in uplifting men. We have to work on healing trauma.

❤❤❤

The fact that you acknowledge that shows that you are on your way to healing. Bless you on this journey.

100%

She needs to let him finish

This isn’t an interview. The description literally said conversation.

Right? I agree, Nia nailed it.

Yes, she did very good job plus add her story to it also.

Yes, she needs her own podcast without the politics😅

Nia is still fine. I didn't know she was doing interviews now.

What should the male podcasters aspire to be?

Black love? He came to a Black woman for advice and affirmation about a failed marriage to an Asian woman. Y'all cannot be this gullible 😂

​@@teresam5199I know right? Some people are just desperate for "love" or black love that ANYTHING that resemblance or interaction automatically gets labeled as "love" or black love😁

@@teresam5199black love doesn’t have to be relationship/marriage type love. Love for each other as a race and community is black and acceptance. Which is what I think the person meant. In our community we love and accept each other the way we should. So these two black people talking about this kinda shit and understanding is dope in my opinion.

Passport bros keep flying we up don't do what Jeezy did which marry a western modern woman noooooo make sure she is foreign and keep them there 💪🛫💯

Black love? But he married an Asian tho. Jeezy, come back to us. We’ll let you come back.

It is so wonderful to see. He has definitely done the inner work. So powerful!

JEEZY is an amazing artist and yes I knew he was a smart man, but he blew me away!! He has a lot of layers to him

​@@sopurdie3826ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BsQOb75IrKo.htmlsi=g52EDpT7uLfd_pLc

Absolutely

I absolutely love this interview they were both amazing in so many ways everyone should hear this from start to finish at least once

I agree ❤

Agree

Chemistry is simply Energy. Chemistry doesn't have to be intimate in nature. Their intellectual Chemistry/Energy was Fire🔥

It comes out when we are talking to a woman who is unbiased,patient and understanding. Not someone downplaying our situations or our past . These are just a few of the reasons blk men who hold their feelings in.

It would be phenomenal!

BLESSINGS

Nikki Giovanni and James Baldwin in conversation on the PBS series SOUL!, was good like this too. To a bIk man and bIk woman have a healthy conversation is so refreshing.

💯

why bring up race

I'd appreciate it if you'd watched some of the edits I've done. Ur honest thoughts on em would mean a lot. Thanks fam and have a great week 🔥🐐

My exact thoughts! 🫶

Just remember to forgive yourself also because when you learn to forgive yourself only then will be able to truly forgive others 🙏🏾

What an excellent conversation.

👋🦁🦁 HELLOOOOO ❤😊🦅

​@wesleysullivan8788 Absolutely 💯, it start with yourself

Nia is a very special lady, and Jeezy is a true gentleman

Puhlease, they always expect a black woman to help them heal or hear them out when they have turned their backs on Black women. You are blind! 😂

Wym his first interview? Post filing?

Nia

They both were vulnerable to an extent.

😮

Agreed! We need more of this

💯

❤❤❤LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF This I NTERVIEW ICONIC LEGEDARY 👸NIA LONG

And we appreciate you❤

I am a LCSW as well and I feel the same !! Very therapeutic!

Exactly

I'd appreciate it if you'd watched some of the edits I've done. Ur honest thoughts on em would mean a lot. Thanks fam and have a great week 🔥🐐

With all do respect Conversated is not a word … they conversed 😊 power to the people y’all!

Facts!

💯

Hey sweetheart I'm pray for u ❤

I think that’s the problem with people some don’t know how to be loving deeply loving.

Who’s they? And why wouldn’t they want it.

yall blk wmn are embarrassing its clear he is pandering

Yes!!!!! 💪🏽💙

Yesss!!!!

I understand what she meant. Black women are usually portrayed as being problematic and angry and catty and to a certain extent on social media black women are very unforgiving to orher black women

I'd appreciate it if you'd watched some of the edits I've done. Ur honest thoughts on em would mean a lot. Thanks fam and have a great week 🔥🐐

Absolutely

Because black womanly be eve up to each other I’m not surprised she thought that

It's also the sort of dialogue that happens when it's an intimate setting.

Beautiful comment and you said this perfectly.

ABSOLUTELY!! I thought it was just me seeing it!!

I see it ❤❤❤

@@natashacashaw9803 😘😘😘 #giszka

I see it too!❤

For real... as a man, I said, Nia, this is your next man.

Why did you have reservations?

@@Konkretelotusright, I’m asking the same thing

​​@SupernaturalLove100 sometimes it's hard to discern out here Yet blessed be there is authenticity

..i felt th same ..because not everyone wants to be nosey tryna find out more answers about their divorce scandal ..thas their personal business & my reservations stemmed from my respect for their business being their own by not jumpn on th nosey gossipn bandwagon, if that makes sense ..those reservations were put to rest once th realizations came into play, that is about way more than th recent gossip ..the transparency & vulnerability let us in a little, to who they are deep down underneath alla th flashing lights of th industry & steered us away from all of th latest rumors & speculations in th opinions of others. Him being one of my top few fav artists of all time & her being one of th greatest souls to walk th stage only increased my utmost respect, love & admiration for them both individually. This was a much needed dialect ..they truly delivered🥀🖤✨️

Agreed ❤

It needs to continue like who’s next, let’s get this toxicity out the door. It’s gotta go. And I’m over this narrative that black folks don’t/can’t love each other.

@@sparkwill5337 😘 #giszka

I agree!!!

Agree

@watchinnwaitin4458 hell yeah make it happen. I'll be tech guy or something

This made me cry 😭, "we are all we got"

Way over due😢😢😢

I love this conversation, the transparency is everything ❤❤❤

Men acting like women IS the problem.

So powerful ❤ BEAUTIFUL SOUL

Amen 🙏🏾

The issue is that black men can't speak. You saw the evil that came from Kevin Samuels providing a platform for men to speak? Black women danced on his grave for simply shining a light on the mental illness and ludicrous ideology our women and men have adopted. When a man cheats, he deserves any abuse or punishment he gets. When a woman cheats, women ask her what the man did wrong! When a man is abused, he should handle his emotions and leave. When a woman is abused, any reaction she gives is justified. When a man opens up, we hear, "who hurt you" or he's Zesty.When he addresses his woman's issues, most times it turns into a conversation about how we hurt her feelings by bringing up ours. Now we have to make her feel good, and we haven't had our issues addressed. We have created a society that shames men for speaking up. When we say we want feminine and fit women, we are told we are being disrespectful. When we say we want the whoredom to stop, we are told we are too weak for a real woman. We have to fix the communication issues at the root of this before any healing can happen. It's a reason men bottle up emotions, bc where can we be heard? If this wasn't Jeezy, he would be shamed. The pro Boxer TerrenceCrawford opened up about how his mother never said he loved her, how she paid boys to beat him up, how she would say he would never be anything like his father. If not for the men of that community that uplifted him, he would be another statistic. We have to stop raising kids without good fathers, these deadbeat fathers are the equal to the mothers. Water seeks its own Level. We see the pain that hits men, and they carry it for life. I hope we can fix this before it's too late, I've all but given up. My mom was such a great example of a woman, and I can't believe I can't find another soul that hasn't been corrupted with the modern day narcissistic tendencies and delusions of grandeur
