What Happened With Jim Jones On The Airport Escalator?
There are few details about where Jimmy was headed or what started the fight. After the footage began making its rounds, he took to Instagram Story. All he asked for was a “second,” seemingly suggesting he was coming back with details.
It appeared that the rapper headed straight to his stay and had places to be. But he assured fans he was “aight.” He didn’t seem to have any bruises or cuts on his face.
Concern spread online because the video is WILD. It starts with Jim and a man confronting each other on the downward-moving escalator. The man seemingly shoves Jim, standing below him, and sends his hat flying. With his blue cap only on, Jim Jones picks this man up and slams him on the escalator! They both slide down a couple of stairs. At the bottom, Jimmy and the man keep exchanging blows, and another man seemingly joins, beating on Jim.
