Jim Jones Shares Words Of Encouragement To Lil Tjay Following Near-Fatal Shooting

HipHopDX , Jones was asked about his comments regarding rap being the most dangerous job, and he used LIl Tjays situation to back up his comments. I stand on it, Jones said. He then added we have more rappers getting killed than we have weeks in the year. Shit, my prayers go out to Lil Tjay who just got shot up the other day, and I dont even know his condition but, you know, its terrible out there. Every day they talk about a different rapper that just got shot or was involved in a shooting or something like that. Jones then said how rappers have a 50 percent chance of making it as a rapper and making it alive as a rapper.

Nobody would give a fuck about them if they didnt have some music that the people loved, so you gotta think about that.

Recent reports indicate that since then, Tjay has been making significant progress towards recovery. Read more
