Rapper Jeezy provides 200 Thanksgiving meals then performs in front of packed crowd in Atlanta

ATLANTA – Grammy-nominated rapper Jeezy went from handing out meals to performing in front of a sold-out crowd in Atlanta.

Jeezy took the stage at the Tabernacle on Wednesday night hours before he helped handout 200 boxes of food. The meals included turkey or ham, corn green beans, stuffing, rolls and cranberry sauce at Mt. Sanai Baptist Church. He held the event through his Street Dreamz Foundation.

Through Jeezy’s event, many also received a bouquet of flowers and two tickets to an Atlanta Hawks basketball game.

Jeezy performed several hits including “Put On,” ”Go Crazy” and every song from his new album “Church in the Streets.” Rapper T.I. made a brief appearance with Jeezy on stage.

T.I. helped Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed hand out 500 turkeys Wednesday at the Adamsville Recreation Center.
