Jim Jones Speaks Out on AIDS
Posted by Bossip Staff
Jim Jones made an appearance on 106 & Park to speak about AIDS and HIV and how it has affected his family. Usually “Emotionless”, Jimmy gets a little teary-eyed on the matter. Kudos to him speaking out and being honest.

Protect yourselves people.
I really felt for him. It seems like there are no men left in his fam.
First???
so, thats the problem with black people and why we’re dying of this ***** – he’s human, i am sure everyone knows someone!!! is this funny to you BOSSIP???
I can’t hear what Jimmy is saying but if is really talkin bout something as serious as AIDS I leave the STANKNESS ALONE
Negro you need to get tested! looking like “Flip” from Above the Rim!…Smell like him too. ROFLMAO
Wooooooow… I don’t even know what to say about that. But yeah, I DO agree with Bossip. Kudos to Jimmy for speaking out.
hmmmm Jim Jones talkin bout aids…. whatever!
Wow that was pretty heavy-He is probably amazing in the bedroom….
-too bad after something so deep they went to that wack ***** trey songz song…
OHH JIM EVERYBODY GO THRU *****… SORRY YOU HAD TO SEE THAT IM AM SURE THAT WAS HARD TO WITNESS
eh yo Jim! how come you don’t call me no mo?
This is a serious topic and definitely a major concern for African Americans, but I’m sorry, I kinda snickered at Soap’s post.
NICE TO SEE A RAPPER TALKING ABOUT AIDS….
HAHA @ The Glitz… That was kinda out of place. I would have tried to go to a commercial break before I went to that song.
This is great , thanks to jim jones for spreading some useful information …. Rip his family members.
Seeing this made me respect Jim Jones so much more. He is the first rapper that I have seen openly cry and express himself in public.
I think its great that he was honest and spoke from personal experience about how the disease affected his family.
But..I don’t know if I’m feeling the “if you have to do drugs use your own needles” comment. I know he meant well but thats bothering me.
The fact that he show some sensitivitie he gets my respect.
I was just about to comment about how wonderful that was that he talked about AIDS but I bust out laughing when I read the Soap post! You know u wrong for that one
See, I suspected that Jim had a conscienceand a mind. He needs to speak in his rhymes from now on.
But the Soap message……man….:lol:
I am not Jim Jones fan, nor am I a 106 and Park fan, but I actually watched most of this episode when it aired. Jim Jones was very candid and open. It made him seem like a real person, and I respected that. I’m sure he saved somebody from doing something stupid. I see him a little differently now.
Come on now… This man is pulling a Kanye move for crying on stage. Kanye had a good reason because his moms just past but why did this man wait till now (years after the fact) to come out and start crying on stage about his family? I’m sorry that he’s lost loved one due to that disease. I lost an uncle and a cousin to it and i was mad close to both…
Talking about AIDS is where its at. That ***** is straight destroying people of color around the world.
Its some sad, sad, sad, sad and even sadder *****.
aww that touched my heart…honestly and truly.
i may like him a lil bit more now..he seems more human instead of a jack*****, pms-ing meathead.
Safe sex people, wrap it up each and every time.
He spoke out on how the epidemic effected his family and this ***** is real. Most probably wouldn’t be laughing if alot people in the industry like one closet switchhitting purple wearing ***** in Europe hiding out was put on blast about having the virus. It takes alot of courage to face it head on and be honest like to the public like this brotha an Magic has been. And their efforts should be applauded.
How the hell you gon’ be flashed with different women in different cities all day err day, smackin’ their booties and talkin’ about your sexual prowess, posin’ with nakkey women like they have no living family members then do a segment about AIDS/HIV????
Hoe.sit.down! And practice what you preach!!!
One Love Jimmy!!! Thank you for sharing your story I have more than a few friends thats parents died from HIV. I am so glas he was not ashamed. We love you Jim.
that has to be painful to grow up through…
I’ve never really like Jim Jones as an artist, but after watching that I definitely have some respect for that man…
@Soap & Water – that was inappropriate, everything has it’s time and place… But I have to admit that was kinda funny…
Please people we gotta protect ourselves & be more careful at all cost, HIV/AIDS is killing our people and infecting our sistas (the backbone of our community) at an alarming rate – an issue that the mainstream media outlets and sadly our so-called Black Leaders are not bringing to light like they should
Come on ya’ll
Big-ups to Bossip for posting this!!! In the midst of what this site is about – Good Job!!! And if you would please keep posting stories like this — THANKS
Clue #1 : stop *****in around outside marriage. You don’t need “leaders” to tell you that *****. Where are parents?? Where is common damn sense?
