In an interview with Rap Radar, Young Jeezy refutes rumors that he got stabbed the other night–and he’s quick to point out that he did get something that evening: “RR: So I take it you didn’t check into Grady Memorial Hospital.

They know entertainers, so they shake your hand [and say], ‘I’m your friend.’ But my mama is about to have surgery that I gotta pay for out of my pocket because she can’t get insurance. I don’t really feel McCain.” Aw, but I’m sure McCain feels you, Mr. Snowman!
