Kanye West has helped Jim Jones get sober for the first time in 30 years
Former Diplomats rapper Jim Jones has revealed that he reached sobriety after three decades. However, he also shared that this is partially due to Kanye West. The Dipset emcee has recently been in Japan with West, and the two former Roc-a-Fella artists were seemingly working on music and fashion.
Jones recently took to Instagram to reveal that he hasn’t smoked weed or drunk alcohol for several consecutive days and admitted that this is a feat he hasn’t achieved since the 1990s. Talking to his followers, Jones explained, “I ain’t smoked in five days. I’ve been around here bouncing like a kid, like I’m in high school. I definitely got that high school feeling.” During the video, itwas apparent the On My Way to Church creator was walking in Tokyo.
Detailing how he felt, the ‘Baby Girl’ rhymer told his fans, “My body ain’t feel this pure in a minute! I was in the club dancing last night for like 45 minutes straight, sweating.” He wrote in the caption, “I ain’t been sober in 33 years this sh!t feel gooood can’t lie.”
He continued, “But I need that HT soon I a land lol I’m addicted lol but at least I know when it’s time for business I’m disciplined to stop cold Turkey for Whats important Japan is n was a vibe till next time arigato.”
It has also been suggested that, while living in Tokyo, Japan’s highly stringent drug laws may have played a part as you can receive sentences for mere possession of marijuana. It has been extremely surprising to see Jones alongside West in recent times as the former hasn’t been at the forefront of music for years. However, it seems he may be playing a part in the creation of Bully.
The ‘Christmas In Harlem’ collaborators were seen hanging out together earlier this month at Tokyo nightclubs, listening to music and looking over clothes. Jones also hinted that he was contributing to Ye’s new album.
Alongside a photo of him next to Ye, the ‘We Fly High’ hitmaker wrote on social media, “We out here playin’ BULLY BALL only shot u don’t make is the shot u don’t take. This is about believing in urself when no one else will. “I’m a student and A teacher this past 5 days, I was the student I learned so much about character. Never judge unless u wearing a black robe.”
Jones then bigged up Ye’s forthcoming project by adding, “Bully this album so crazy I wouldn’t drop if I was y’all or drop now cause when he drops this is gone b a big problem. We not takin’ no for answers we are the BULLY. Safe to say @ye back, aka THE REAL BILLY GOAT pun intended.”
