According to TMZ, Jeezy is being sued by the children of Eric Johnson, a concert promoter who was murdered at a Jeezy/Wiz Khalifa concert back in 2014. Johnson was reportedly shot 5 times while backstage, and TMZ sources reveal an eyewitness told Mountain View police that the killer bore a striking resemblance to Jeezy. Apparently, the same resemblance was reiterated two years later in a deposition.

The bereaved children claim that said witness managed to pick Jeezy out of a police lineup. Furthermore, a second witness gave a description to a police sketch artist that apparently looked "eerily similar to the way Young Jeezy looked" on that fateful night. 

The Johnson family is suing the rapper for funeral expenses, among other damages. As of now, Jeezy has neglected to comment.
