The crowd at the Baltimore stop of Jeezy‘s TM: 101 Live Tour has an Uber driver named Tanner to thank for the show not being canceled.
Jeezy posted a clip on Instagram of himself on stage this past Friday updating the audience of the journey he took after flights out of Atlanta were cancelled due to severe weather, telling them that he decided to drive up but ended up stuck in the middle of South Carolina after the car broke down. He then brought out the Uber driver, so the people could show him some love.
The “Seen It All” rapper went into further detail with a lengthy caption and explained that Tanner only needed a little bit of convincing.

“I woke up to my team informing me that all flights to Baltimore and D.C. had been canceled,” he began. They then told me that my driver was on his way to pick me up, so we could drive to Baltimore for the next stop on the tour. Two hours into our drive, we hit an object on the highway, puncturing the gas tank and causing fuel to leak everywhere. We pulled over to a small gas station to regroup in SC. My team tried to arrange a jet from South Carolina to Baltimore, but with the flights canceled do to weather, we weren’t sure if the jet would get us there on time, risking another cancellation.”
Adding, “Next, we called an Uber to take us to a rental car location at the airport. When the Uber driver arrived, he quickly loaded our bags and sped off. Eight minutes into the ride, I turned to him and said, ‘Hey, we need to go to Baltimore.’ I asked how much he’d charge to take us there, and after a moment of consideration, he replied, ‘Let me think about it.’ I assured him that whatever it was, he’d have it. Like real one, he didn’t hesitate and just kept driving.”
Jeezy then ended his caption by saying Tanner received VIP treatment at the show and he even included a picture of them backstage with Tanner rocking the iconic “Snowman” t-shirt.
“Ten hours later, we arrived in Baltimore just ten minutes before showtime,” he said. “I told him he made a lot of people happy tonight! Gave him a Snowman Tee and told him he was my guest for the show tonight! Shout out to the real MVP, my Uber driver Tanner! Not all heroes wear capes!”
On July 25, Jeezy released TM:101 (Live) featuring the Color of Noize Orchestra to commemorate the 20th Anniversary of his influential commercial debut Let’s Get It: Thug Motivation 101 which dropped on July 26, 2005.
