American rapper Jeezy recently gave a shoutout to his Uber driver for driving about 10 hours so that he could perform at his Baltimore show. On August 4, the rapper penned an Instagram post talking about the chain of events. Last week, on Friday, the rapper was scheduled to perform in Baltimore for his TM: 101 Live Tour.

The rapper told the audience that the flights from Atlanta had been canceled due to bad weather, making it difficult for him to reach Baltimore. According to Jeezy, he decided to drive to Maryland City; however, his car broke down in South Carolina. He posted the clip from his concert on his Instagram and wrote:

"Shout out to the real MVP, my Uber driver Tanner! Not all heroes wear capes!"

In the caption, he mentioned further details about the incident and wrote:

"Two hours into our drive, we hit an object on the highway, puncturing the gas tank and causing fuel to leak everywhere. We pulled over to a small gas station to regroup in SC."

The rapper explained that his team initially considered appointing a jet to take him to Baltimore for the next show. However, given the weather conditions, they were concerned whether the jet would arrive on time. According to Jeezy, they first called Uber to go to the rental car location at the airport. The rapper asked the Uber driver, Tanner, if he would be willing to drive the team to Baltimore.

The artist further stated that Tanner "didn't hesitate and just kept driving." It took them ten hours to reach Baltimore, arriving just ten minutes before the show. Jeezy also opened up about the VIP treatment that Tanner received. The driver was given a "Snowman" t-shirt and was the guest at the show. In the Instagram post, the rapper also shared a photo with Tanner backstage.
