UPDATED 4/17, 11:45 p.m. ET: TMZ reports that Jeezy has changed his tune and is requesting that a judge grant him and Jeannie Mai shared custody of 2-year-old Monaco.
"Jeezy's asking for a hearing to hash out a temporary parenting schedule—one which will equally split time between the parents," the outlet claims.

Jeezy wants to be the custodial parent for his 2-year-old daughter, Monaco Mai Jenkins.
According to TMZ, the Recession 2 rapper asked to be awarded primary custody of Monaco, whom he shares with his estranged wife, media personality Jeannie Mai. In mediation, the couple seemed to have agreed on a parenting arrangement schedule for their daughter, but per new documents, Jeezy now wants Monaco to be in his care full-time.
The Adversity for Sale author initially agreed to relocate into the basement during his split with Mai, who eventually moved out of their home, taking Monaco in the process. Jeezy now claims that in the two months that his parenting time has been withheld, their daughter has remained in the care of Mai's mother and brother, while TV host has a hectic travel schedule.
Wanting sole custody of Monaco, Jeezy has asked a judge to impose the schedule adjustment for their daughter to have stable parenting. The divorce between Jeezy and Mai has been relentless, with months of allegations being publicized, including Jeezy claiming that Mai was "gatekeeping" Monaco. Mai explained that the distance was due to wanting to protect Monaco, as Jeezy allegedly wasn't locking up firearms at his property.
"It is essential to clarify that Ms. Jenkins' insistence on reasonable safety measures being put in place, such as safely securing and locking away all firearms that have been unsecured in the past, as well as having familiarity and properly trained caregivers is absolutely not gatekeeping, but rather a responsible effort to prioritize their daughter's well-being," Mai's attorneys wrote in legal documents.
