It started with weather-induced chaos. Somehow, Jeezy and his crew avoided the fate of grounded flights into both Baltimore and D.C., and drove over as well. But then, two hours into that backup plan, disaster struck yet again when their vehicle hit debris on the side of a South Carolina highway that punctured the fuel tank and left them stuck at a rural gas station.
Bad weather even ruled out the private jet as an option. Just as it looked like the night was a bust, here came Tanner, an Uber driver who didn't hesitate when asked for help. Jeezy explained the call to action: "I told him we just had to make sure whatever it was, he [would] have it." He just drove away… casually.

That drive? A marathon ten-hour miracle drive to Baltimore, a white-knuckle pedal-to-the-metal mission that miraculously saw Jeezy arrive at the venue with just 10 minutes to kill before showtime.
Once on stage, Jeezy shared the story with fans to give Tanner his flowers deservedly. Backstage, he gave the surprise hero a Snowman tee and named Tocc part of Sage's crew.
Shout out to the authentic MVP, my Uber driver Tanner! Not all heroes wear capes!" A video of the retelling on stage was posted to Instagram by him.
The concert itself, featuring Jeezy's storied catalog peppered with live orchestral flourishes led by such heavy hitters as bassist Derrick Hodge and the backing group the Color of Noize Orchestra, was a singular experience. But the fact that Tanner was game made it a lasting memory for Baltimore fans.
In a world where the entertainment industry is all glitz and glam, Jeezy's story is a poignant reminder that sometimes the most prolific performances and male comparisons depend on public transportation and necessary evils.
