President Biden has recently announced that now, every American is eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. There has been controversy about whether or not it is safe to be vaccinated, especially with the recent news that the Johnson & Johnson doses may cause health issues. Conspiracy theorists have surfaced to say that the vaccine is a microchip or the mark of the beast, but Jeezy isn't paying those opinions any mind.

On Tuesday (April 20), the Rap icon shared a video of himself receiving the vaccine and encouraged others to follow in his footsteps. There have been ongoing conversations in the Black community regarding if this vaccine process is to be trusted and with his post, Jeezy made his stance clear.

Shout out to Navicent Wellness Center Macon Ga. Was so accommodating and professional."
