Overview

  • On Aug. 1 severe storms grounded all flights to Baltimore and Washington, D.C., jeopardizing Jeezy’s 20th-anniversary TM101: LIVE concert at The Lyric Baltimore.
  • A two-hour drive from South Carolina ended when an object on the highway punctured the car’s gas tank, prompting Jeezy’s team to pursue a private jet charter that was later scrapped due to persistent bad weather.
  • Left with no other options, Jeezy agreed to a nonstop 10-hour Uber ride with driver Tanner, who made only one brief stop for fuel and food.
  • The pair arrived just ten minutes before showtime and Jeezy brought Tanner onstage to thank him as the “real MVP.”
  • TikTok videos of Tanner’s astonished reaction alongside fans’ praise have gone viral, highlighting gig-economy workers’ unexpected impact on live event logistics.
