Jeezy Takes 10-Hour Uber Ride To Make Baltimore Show

Jeezy nearly missed his Baltimore show, but one dedicated Uber driver made sure the night went on. On August 4th, the rapper posted the full story to Instagram, describing how a series of setbacks turned into a 10-hour road trip that ended just minutes before he hit the stage.

Things started to fall apart when severe weather caused all flights to Baltimore and Washington, D.C. to be canceled. Stuck without a way to travel by air, Jeezy and his team decided to drive. A couple of hours into the trip, though, they hit a major obstacle. “We hit an object on the highway, puncturing the gas tank and causing fuel to leak everywhere,” Jeezy wrote. The team pulled into a small gas station in South Carolina to figure out their next move.

Attempts to secure a private jet were unsuccessful due to weather, leaving them with few options. That’s when they booked an Uber to reach a rental car location. Enter Tanner, the driver who would go far beyond what anyone expected. “I assured him that whatever it was, he’d have it,” Jeezy said. “Like real one, he didn’t hesitate and just kept driving.”

Tanner drove Jeezy all the way to Baltimore, logging ten hours on the road and pulling up just ten minutes before the concert was set to begin. Jeezy made it to the stage, and the show went on as planned.

To show his appreciation, Jeezy invited Tanner backstage and gave him a Snowman tee. “Shout out to the real MVP, my Uber driver Tanner! Not all heroes wear capes!” he said during the concert while sharing the story with the crowd.

What started as a travel nightmare turned into a memory that Jeezy and his fans won’t forget.
