If you’ve been keeping tabs on the latest updates as it relates to the impending divorce between rapper Jeezy and soon-to-be ex-wife and former host of “The Real” Jeannie Mai, then you know that it hasn’t been a walk in the park.

Just last month, things took an uglier turn when Jeannie alleged in new court documents that she endured both physical and verbal abuse at the hands of Jeezy on several instances. Prior to that, we told you how the “Put On” rapper had filed for primary custody of their two-year-old Monaco citing his belief that she “would have more stability.” He later walked that back and amended his request for both he and Jeanni to have equal amount. And before that, Jeezy alleged that Jeannie was “gatekeeping” their child which in turned prompted her to clap back against those claims and allege that she had concerns for “reasonable safety” stemming from alleged unsafely stored guns (presumably owned by Jeezy) that were around while the toddler was present.

Now, in new court documents obtained by People, it looks like we may now know part of the reason why this whole mess has been, well…..a mess. According to Jeezy, he’s alleged that Jeannie wanted to have another child with him via in-vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment after he communicated with her his plans to file for divorce in June 2023.

The couple had allegedly been trying to conceive again naturally for “over a year,” but to no avail. Per the parameters of the procedure, you need your partner’s sign off before you can move forward and according to Jeezy’s lawyers—these allegations about abuse from Jeannie all stem from the fact that Jeezy declined to go that route with her and instead decided to uncouple instead.

The court documents, per People:

“The Petitioner had to contact the doctor directly in August 2023 to let her know that he would not be participating in the fertilization of any additional eggs with the Respondent,” the court documents claim. “If [he] were so violent as the Respondent claims, why would she want to have a second child with him? If the Petitioner were so irresponsible and created such an unsafe home environment for the parties’ minor child, why would the Respondent desperately want to have a second baby with the Petitioner? The answer is because the Petitioner is not violent, and the Petitioner is not irresponsible.”

Jeezy also alleged that Jeannie “introduced strife, physical and emotional abuse, and volatility into the parties’ marriage,” and that she was “used to docile men.”

As previously reported by The Root, Jeezy has denied any and all claims of harm, saying in a statement in late April: “The allegations are not only false, but also deeply disturbing, especially coming from someone I loved. This malicious attempt to tarnish my character and disrupt my family is ridiculous. It’s disheartening to witness the manipulation and deceit at play and at this time my main concern is being an active father to our daughter as I continue to fight for court mandated joint custody. Rest assured, the truth will prevail through the proper legal channels.”
