Jim Jones Talks "Love & Hip Hop", Marrying Chrissy, And His Nearly Fatal Car Accident

Mar 30 | by _YBF

When rapper Jim Jones stopped by Richmond's Power 92.1 to promote his new album, he opened up about his new Capo album dropping April 5th, his near death experience, and about his relationship with Chrissy Lampkin on "Love And Hip Hop." See the highlights inside.....

Jim Jones called into TT Torrez's show on 92.1 to chat about his upcoming album Capo being released April 5th and his take on marriage and reality tv. Here are the highlights:

On getting Prodigy on his upcoming album:
Jim said he and Prodigy have mutual friends so it was easy to contact him. But he added, Prodigy had a curfew (before being released from a half-way house) and would come to the studio to record at 7 in the morning.

On his album Capo:
He wishes he could have pushed the release date back to promote it a little more, but industry politics got in the way.

On why Dipset broke up:
He said they were like siblings - and siblings fight. But now they’re working on a Dipset tour.

On getting into car accident:
He was involved in a car accident on the Virginia state line while coming from North Carolina. He says he should have died but God surrounded him with angels and now he sees life differently.

On whether he and Chrissy are getting married:
"You have to watch the show." Oh Jimmy....

On if we’ll see anything sexual poppin’ off between him and Chrissy on the show:
He said they’re not doing anything sexual...on television. [laughs]

On if he ever slept with Somaya Reese:
His answer was no...in a suspiciously roundabout way. He semi-joked, “Tell your Twitter follower to find the highest building in Virginia and jump.”

On how he deals with Chrissy and his mother not getting along:
He said it's tough dealing with them not getting along.

On his reaction when Chrissy proposed to him:
He was definitely surprised and he "tips his hat to her."

On if he thinks Somaya can rap and if Olivia can sing:
[laughs] He said he has no opinion on Somaya and he’s not trying to interrupt anyone’s hustle. He said, however, Olivia can definitely sing. *eyebrows raised*

Listen to the audio here. Are you feelin' Jim and Chrissy's relationship on "Love & Hip Hop." I have my opinions...but I'll keep them to myself....for now.

Crissy has a title she is the

Crissy has a title she is the WIFE and further more Yandy has to go back to school for a business degree. Where she will then learn that business and pleasure shouldn't be together. Why is Yandy with the ladies, Jim,Jules and there this is not good business ethics and when your mentor tell you this then there's time to reevaluate

I love this show me and my

I love this show me and my daughter watch it all the time, but they act like children. Chrissy needs to handle herself more like a lady. i thinks she wants Jim to hurry and marry her because she has nothing going for herself and the rest of the ladys do. You can tell she wants to Jim to provide for her becasue she's told old to do something know or might I say she's not trying to do nothing. I like Yandy but she should keep her business seprate from personal. Chrissy is wrong for getting in the middle of Jim's business and money and she sholud keep her mouth closed cause she is going to make people not want to do businees with him because of her. If everybody around you is having promblems with the same person (mama, Manger) then you need to be a man and put her in check. Just saying it looks like chrissy runs the business.

I feel really bad for Chrissy. This chick needs love. She can't stand the fact that Tansy has a place on Jim Jones life, Yandy had a title, she didn't! Just play your role! #Jimneedstofindawifeandleavethatfosterkidwheresheat......

I sometimes I watch the show

I sometimes I watch the show with my daughters who loves the show, my opinions concerning the show are It's to much fighting, young ladies acting like they are five years old cursing, swearing, fussing and saying bad words call other ladies out of their names doesn't make these ladies look good at all. They are too beautiful to send these types of vibes to our young people fighting, no compassion, acting like they are out of control saying things to hurt others, self-centered, mean no understand of others these actions makes these ladies look like they don’t care about their selves, their fans, kids and I know that some of these ladies have children or one day they will. It’s going to sad when their future children see these videos, I wonder how these ladies are going to explain all this chaos’s too their children or future children. It was so wonderful to Mr. Jones propose to Chrissy I was happy because I’ve been their and I know what Chrissy was going through wondering when and if he’s going to propose, but Chrissy needs help, she really needs to talk to someone that understands what she has endured while waiting for Jim Jones to propose. Crissy is still taking out her anger on others, she’s being very offensive about much of nothing, and that’s bad, even after Jim Proposed too her, if Crissy doesn’t get help its going to grow in to resentment and might harm her marriage. I think that all her worrying about if Jim Jones were going to propose harmed her in a emotional way and it’s making her very abusive and offensive toward others anyway I wish this young couple much happiness and peace in their marriage.

Chrissy needs to use some of that energy she has in the gym. she looks like a big sumo wrestler. All she wants to do is fight, why don't she cool it. Yandy is going to tag that ass and she deserve it. She is making Jim ask her to marry her.
