In AAVE, an eye jammy is a punch to the eye or the black eye that results from one. Jammy here likely relates to jam — something being forced or jammed into a space. The phrase is vivid and physical, describing both the act (hitting someone in the eye) and the aftermath (the bruised, swollen result). It appears in urban vernacular and hip-hop contexts.
He came to school with an eye jammy and wouldn't say where he got it.
