Baltimore-based rideshare service aids hip-hop artist Jeezy in reaching his scheduled concert, after his flights get canceled.
In an unexpected turn of events, an Uber driver named Tanner played a crucial role in helping rapper Jeezy reach his concert at The Lyric Baltimore on August 1. With all flights canceled to Baltimore and D.C., Tanner embarked on a 10-hour journey with Jeezy and his team, arriving just 10 minutes before Jeezy was due to take the stage.
The concert, which celebrated the 20th anniversary of Jeezy's Thug Motivation 101 album, was set to begin around 7 p.m. As doors opened, Tanner's heroic efforts were rewarded with a Snowman Tee and the MVP treatment at the event. Jeezy acknowledged Tanner's help in a recent Instagram post, calling him the real MVP.
Jeezy's concert tour continues until September 12, with stops in Richmond, Virginia, on August 15, and in D.C. on August 31, according to his tour website. However, as of now, there are no confirmed Jeezy concert dates specifically listed for these cities. The closest Virginia show is in Norfolk on August 30, about two hours from Richmond.
Here are the confirmed tour dates for Jeezy:
- July 26, 2025: Fox Theatre, Atlanta, Georgia — "TM:101 LIVE with Color of Noize Orchestra" celebrating the 20th anniversary of Let’s Get It: Thug Motivation 101

During their road trip, Jeezy and his team faced an additional challenge when an object on the highway punctured Jeezy's gas tank, forcing them to stop at a small gas station in South Carolina. Despite the obstacles, Tanner's timely intervention ensured that Jeezy made it to his concert in Baltimore, much to the delight of his fans.
