Young Jeezy is dropping the first  half of his stage name to reflect his maturity as a “grown man.”

The hitmaker now 35, made the revelation during an appearance on  MTV’s “RapFix Live” show on Wednesday, when he corrected presenter Sway Calloway  for referring to him by his full moniker.

He told Sway, “It’s Jeezy now. I’m grown now. I did enough of that. It sounds  good because when I came into the game, that’s what I was and that was my state  of mind. But I’m a grown man now. Jeezy. It’s all good. We got a little older  now.”
