Jay “Jeezy” Jenkins closed out his 2025 Las Vegas residency with two consecutive sold-out performances at PH Live, marking the conclusion of a year in which every date of his TM:101 Live tour and residency sold out nationwide.

The final shows at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino drew fans from across the country, including many who had attended earlier Masquerade performances in October. The residency followed the success of Jeezy’s national TM:101 Live symphonic tour celebrating the 20th anniversary of his debut album, Let’s Get It: Thug Motivation 101.

The evening opened with a performance by ballerina Paige Fraser, who appeared onstage during a cinematic opening video montage titled Legend of the Snowman. The sequence was set to a newly composed orchestral overture by musical director Adam Blackstone. Fraser later returned for a second appearance, moving through the audience during a montage set to Frank Sinatra’s “My Way.” Fraser is currently appearing on Broadway in The Lion King.

During the first night of the two-show finale, Jeezy welcomed Grammy-nominated producer and rapper Mannie Fresh to the stage. The two performed their collaboration “And Then What,” prompting a crowd-wide response as fans rapped along throughout the song.

The audience reflected the formal theme of the residency, with attendees dressed in tuxedos, gowns, and eveningwear paired with sneakers. Fans remained standing for much of the performance as Jeezy moved through his catalog backed by live musicians and orchestra.

Earlier performances during the residency set a Guinness World Records title for the largest orchestra assembled for a hip-hop concert, featuring 101 musicians. That orchestral format continued through the final shows, led by composer Derrick Hodge and performed by The Color of Noize Orchestra, alongside a live band directed by Blackstone.

The finale also drew a number of high-profile attendees, including Dwyane Wade, Gabrielle Union, boxer Floyd Mayweather, and comedian Michael Blackson.

Jeezy’s 2025 tour and residency marked a full year of sold-out performances combining hip-hop with symphonic production, closing the TM:101 Live run in Las Vegas.
