Rapper Jim Jones Says He Was Involved in a Botched Robbery Attempt in Harlem. Here is Part of the Jim Jones Interview with Miss Info

Rapper Jim Jones got himself into a tough situation the other night in Harlem. The rapper claims he was involved in a "botched robbery" while rolling around Harlem.

Jones told radio personality Miss Info that three guys tried to jump him. He claims to have fought off the would-be robbers.

According to Jim Jones: "I was in Harlem, alone, when three men stepped to me..well, the first guy, I beat the s--t out of him, then the second guy jumped in with a metal pipe. I was so amped up I didn't even feel him hitting me with it. I was still putting a beating on the first guy, but when the third guy pulled out a gun, I got out of there. Anyone with a brain would do the same."

Jim Jones later told Miss Info that it may not have been the best idea to walk around Harlem wearing loads of expensive jewelry.

He also said that the fight inspired him to go into the studio to work on a mixtape.

That story sounds so unbelievable. I am sure he probably did almost get robbed, but I doubt that Jim Jones was walking around full of jewelry in Harlem by himself. Three people jumping you in a row, instead of at the same time, not believable. More than likely some people tried to rob him and him and his people handled it, to avoid name dropping and admission to possible criminal activity, they came up with this story. Next time get an author of a book to help write it, LOL.
