Resident scuzzball deluxe gets a little up close and personal about roughing up Ne-Yo’s ~~boo~~ boy Ty-Ty:

Following an alleged fight with a member of Ne-Yo’s entourage, Jim Jones said Monday morning (January 5) he’s fortunate to be a free man. “I guess I got lucky,” Jones said after coming out of Manhattan’s 18th Precinct. “I got a DAT.” Jones was issued a Desk Appearance Ticket instead of a trip behind bars for the misdemeanor assault charge.

The altercation took place at the Fifth Avenue Louis Vuitton store, where police say Jones punched and kicked someone who was traveling with Ne-Yo. Although police have yet to release the victim’s name, Internet reports have widely identified him as a man named Vaughn, the brother of Tyran “Ty Ty” Smith, who works with Ne-Yo. Ty Ty is the longtime best friend and colleague of Jones’ lyrical nemesis, Jay-Z.

“I don’t know what this is for,” Jimmy said when asked about the fight. “All I know is I was shopping. I don’t know what happened.

“How my LVs [Louis Vuitton logos] look?” the Diplomat Capo, wearing a Louis V scarf, asked. “They say it was an incident at the store, but I don’t know.” Monday morning on Power 105.1 in New York, Jones’ mother called up to speak to morning radio host Ed Lover. Mrs. Jones acknowledged the altercation and called for peace in the hip-hop community.

“I’m tired of all these rappers not doing their jobs,” she vented. “They’re getting into all types of crazy stuff. … Your job is called ‘rapping’ for the audience, for the people. Get paid, and take your behind home.”

Jim Jones said the altercation gave him another sobering look at his life and career.

“Being a gangsta rapper or a ‘hardcore’ rapper, you find yourself stuck between a rock and a hard place,” he said. “It’s a thin line, because there’s things I’ve done in my career to get where I am today, and I’ve benefited off it. For me to make a transition and take my career to the next level, there’s some things I can’t obviously do anymore. What I mean by that is, you play the tough guy and put yourself into those positions, and things can happen. You end up like this, [with] a big inconvenience.

“Sometimes the notoriety works in your favor, but I shouldn’t be here at this point,” he continued. “As long as no one is physically doing something to you or being that much of an aggressor, sometimes you can let these things go. I’ve grown to realize that, and I see it’s not gonna be the same for me as far as my travels in this industry. My last few situations, it seems like I’ve ended up in jail and people have used that as a way to put civil suits on me. That’s the new wave of getting money. They say snitching is big business.” Jones has to appear in court February 4, a little less than two weeks before his next LP, Pray for Reign, hits stores February 20. The Harlem native says he’s ready to put the latest incident behind him.

“I really think I’m standing in the way of my own self,” he said. “I don’t believe it’s nobody else but me that’s gonna f— my career up, and I don’t wanna see that happen. … I’m done with beefs this year. I’m just gonna become a rapper. I’m just like Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer. I am a rapper. Leave me alone. I am defenseless. It’s to a point now if you slap me and I slap you back, you’ll be able to sue me.

“I’m Vanilla Ice right now,” he reiterated with a chuckle. “I’m a rapper.”

He said it, not us: Jim Jones is on par with the likes of Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer. Sounds like it may be time for the brotha call it a day. And while we’re at it, LOL at his mom calling out these thug ass rappers for acting like a gang of 12 year old hooligans. Preach Mrs. Jones, preach!

people need to get the story straight..ty ty was no where on the scene of said incident. jim jones got into it with someone that works for neyo and ty ty’s brother.

jim jones has the IQ of a cotton ball and I believe he needs to claim his hispanic heritage and stop claiming to be black because he is further making us look bad

For all the foolery being spoken like “yeah that nycca should of” or “that’s what that nycca get” or “thats how it is” YOU need to STFU! Why the ***** to ignorant people praise and glorify negativity. Ask yourself what the ***** is wrong with you? Do you have kids? Would you raise them and want them to be fighting over stupid shyt? Damn, we in a recession and people are on here talking some stupidness praising this man’s acts of ignorance. That shyt is not cute at all. God was kind enough to bless that man and put him in a position that we all wish we were in (living extra comfy) and yet he continues to display acts of coonish behaviour….WTF?

1/6/09, 11:59:am

He seems to now realize that only he can destroy everything he has accomplished. I wish everyone else in the industry could realize this. Taking beefs off wax puts you in jail or makes you dead, period.

I can’t stand this no talent, dirty, stinky looking ***** nicca. NO TALENT!! That whole Dip whatever is some pure *****! This dude is anything but something!!! Neyo is talented enough said. He’ll be counting stacks long after Jimmys back on the corner getting robbed for his stash! Or locked up getting his ***** *****ed for not keeping it 100 with his homies in jail when he was getting money. What chump p&ssy ***** nicca gave this bum a record deal.

Chine K.
Why don’t you try your own advice. STFU. This is a blog… Who the hell are you to tell someone not to express their self, say what they feel cause you disagree. B*tch please. What you know Jenny Jones. LOL! You on the ***** like *****. What man sweats another man so hard and takes it personal when someone speaks against him. I hope your female. Or your homo!!!

Row Row Row your Boat

1/6/09, 12:19:pm

When people don’t press charges it’s usually because they have something more greater in store for you. Something worse than jail maybe death. But, never the less it’s usually something to follow. All I want to know is. Is Chine K going to have Jim’s back when the heat comes back on his *****??? When Jenny actions catch up to him will you be there Chine K? Just asking? Spoken from a person raised in one of the most dangerous hoods in the US. I have seen it all, I know how the streets work. So, I am just keeping it real.

1/6/09, 12:21:pm

Jim says he now realizes that only he can destroy all that he has accomplished????????????????????? ummmmmmmmm can somebody PLEASE tell me what that hell he has accomplished, all he is known for is for being a cornball ***** dirty looking ***** who was hanging with Cam’ron’s queer ***** and the rest of the Dipset “funny” crew, (with the exception of Juelz Santana, that’s my boo)

Ummmmm “Babegirl” I swear all yall lame dipset haters are the same! Its only queer when Camron wears pink, but many other rappers besides camron have worn pink and purple. Jayz wore poka dots! Kanye, TI, 50CENT Big Boy from outkast all of them wear those colors and people didnt start dressing different until camron broung dipset and they stepped out the box! So chill with the hating! It cant be “queer” for one person cause you hate them, but you give another rapper a p*****..What about your “boo” Juelz? He wears Louis rags like head scravs and sparkly bealts and skinny jeans! Is he queer? STOP HATING! Damn! Hate is the new love! Its a disease and bloggers are SICK WITH IT!

@ Tapanga…

Hi Hater; The Diplomats are keeping NY hiphop relevant!The Diplomats have consitantly been trend setters and have always ahd there own style and swagg! The Diplomats are HANDS DOWN THE BEST MOVEMENT to come out of NY, simply cause they are all really from NY. Each member has there own style and identity and has had success.The time and effort that they have put in the game deserves respect as they continue to work hard and keep NY hiphop moving. If Jim Jones is such a dirty scuzzball, how about not clicking on post about him and moving on? Dipset RUNZ NEW YORK! Bottom Line! Neyo and Jayz “boyfriend” getting there *****es WOOPED in Louis Vuiton is proof they run it!

“HI HATERRRRZZZZZZ” Probably a bunch of Gunit and Gayz D*ck Sniffers hatin on “The Set”!
