DETROIT, MI – Jeezy appeared at an Occupy The Corner bike giveaway over the holiday weekend in Detroit, but fans are disappointed that the Snowman didn’t end up performing as they expected.
The Atlanta native took to social media on Sunday (May 30) to clear up the confusion and put the blame on the event’s promoters for falsely claiming there would be a concert when that wasn’t part of his contract.

Jeezy has a long (and sometimes troubled) history with the city of Detroit. And after a scheduled appearance in the city didn’t go as some fans had hoped, Jeezy felt the need to clarify what happened.
On Saturday, the rapper revealed that he would be in Detroit to give out bikes to underserved children at the Coleman Young Playfield. He was then scheduled to make an appearance at an event in Corktown’s Corner Ballpark to promote vaccinations in the city.
According to the flyer Jeezy posted, the rapper was seemingly part of the “special performances” that were going to be held. However, fans were disappointed to see Jeezy just stand during the day party and not perform especially since they reportedly paid money to attend the event.

DETROIT, MI – Detroit is putting on an event for a good cause on Saturday (May 30) that even features a Jeezy concert, but not everybody in the Corktown community is thrilled about the return of larger parties, events and concerts in line for the summer.
For Memorial Day Weekend, the Occupy The Corner bike giveaway is slated to begin around 1 p.m. on Saturday and will feature a plethora of free resources for the public at The Corner Ballpark. The Detroit Police Athletic League (PAL) event will even conclude with a performance from Jeezy as well.
