Despite being single, Mai does not look forward to being in a relationship.

She revealed per PEOPLE Magazine that she is enjoying “spending time by [her]self” lately after years of making men her focus.

“To be honest, as women, we are conditioned our whole lives to think about various stages: how to approach a new boyfriend, how to initiate the first kiss, who to marry, who to date after a divorce, how to put ourselves back out there. But I don’t want to be out there. The streets are not for me. I prefer being alone,” she expressed.

Mai continued by highlighting some of the benefits she has enjoyed from being single.

She affirmed, “I am self-sufficient. I am my own person. I can enjoy my own fries at the table.” Continuing at 46, she added, “I don’t have to divide anything with anyone. I can go to bed at my convenience. I can mindlessly scroll for as long as I want. And I cherish that freedom at this moment.”

Mai further stressed that she knows “exactly what not to do” after spending her earlier decades “doing all the research” and “figuring out life.”

Despite Mai’s strong stance on embracing singlehood, Shepherd advised her to acknowledge the occasional flutters she might experience. Nevertheless, Mai responded, “I am well aware of those flutters.”

Mai replied, “That’s right,” before cheekily adding, “But wait… Sherri, we didn’t say that we can’t have friends. We can have friends.”

Despite finalizing their divorce, Jeannie Mai and Jeezy have continued to engage in legal disputes.

The Blast reported that the rapper is demanding nearly $20,000 from his ex-wife to cover legal fees he incurred defending himself against her allegations, which he calls “frivolous.” He also accused her of leaking court documents to the media to damage his reputation.

Mai, in turn, claimed Jeezy denied her access to his home to retrieve her belongings, violating a court order. She involved the police to document the incident. Jeezy, however, sought to modify the order, citing concerns about her presence in his home.

Meanwhile, Jeezy is also entangled in a legal dispute with his former financial management team, accusing them of mismanaging his earnings. He discovered that one of his key advisors was not a licensed CPA and is now fighting to access his financial records.
