Rapper Jay “Jeezy” Jenkins made headlines Thursday evening when he attended his 5th Annual Sno Ball Gala in Atlanta, Georgia, accompanied by his young daughter, Monaco Mai. The black-tie charity event, held at the Delta Flight Museum, benefited his Street Dreamz Foundation.
A Night of Family and Philanthropy
Walking the black carpet beside his daughter, Jeezy displayed a softer side of his public persona. Monaco, dressed in a golden, Belle-inspired princess gown, twirled before cameras. One guest noted, “She stole the show,” capturing how many felt watching her joy.
Jeezy’s foundation hosts the Sno Ball annually to raise funds for underserved communities. In 2025, the gala drew dozens of Atlanta dignitaries, artists, and philanthropists to support youth programs.
The evening’s program featured performer Lil Jon, while rapper Chris “Ludacris” Bridges served as host. Throughout the night, Jeezy spoke briefly of his mission. He told attendees that giving back is “something I commit to as a father and community builder.” (Paraphrased) Several onlookers praised his visible pride.
Guests included T.I., CeeLo Green, Congresswoman Nikema Williams and Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens. Many complimented the gala’s blend of glamour and purpose. One attendee said, “It’s about style and substance.”
Monaco remained at her father’s side through red carpet interviews and photo ops. She posed for photographers and occasionally waved at the crowd. Jeezy was attentive, pointing out cameras for her and guiding her through the crowd.
In remarks to press, Jeezy emphasized that his children are part of his motivation. “Every time I step on the stage, I think of them,” he said. (Paraphrase to preserve attribution) He also urged his supporters to invest locally, asserting that change must start in neighborhoods too often ignored.
By evening’s end, the gala had raised substantial funds for Street Dreamz, supporting education, mentorship and youth entrepreneurship programs. The night closed with performances, applause and gratitude.
