Jim Jones is gearing up to celebrate the 20th anniversary of his debut album, On My Way To Church with some new music and a movie.
The Dipset legend has been teasing ideas all week, and on Friday (September 13), he took to Instagram to recruit a crew for the movie.
He wrote: “Here is your opportunity to shine!!! [film camera emoji] I am officially shooting my 20 year anniversary album and looking for some team players to be on Set to work!! Be apart of my history!”
He captioned the post: “Filming a movie for my 20 year anniversary album ‘At Th Church Steps’ all IFC members tap into @bossybells for everyone else who’s interested tap into @willc_streetheat.”
Earlier this week, he posted a video of him and Southside in the studio. He wrote: “Was in th studio workin on th album ‘At The Church Steps’ had to make sure i got @808mafiaboss vision right wit these ‘Nail in th coffins’ #VLFrames @vintageframes and I got his lungs right wit tht #HTPac Did I mention we got some heat for th album.”

Earlier this week, Jones had some kind words for the late Takeoff as the Dipset rapper celebrated his 2022 Migos collaboration, “We Set The Trends,” receiving a gold certification.
Sharing a video to Instagram, an elated Jim made note of the fact he was still receiving plaques after two decades in the game, then revealed it was Takeoff who brought him the song.
“You better check ya temperature when you talking to a n-gga in 2024 that been in this shit for 20 years and just got a gold record!” Capo said.
“First of all, RIP to TakeOff. Rocket, I feel you. I love you, bro. We went gold on that. We set the trends, bro. He said, ‘I got one for you, Unc.’ Told me load it up. I’m forever indebted to you. TakeOff, man – I miss you to death.”
In his caption, he added: “Rip TAKE OFF The Great TAKE OFF thnku for this gold record ‘We Set The Trends’ ft THE MIGOS is officially GOLD certified @offsetyrn @quavohuncho thnk yall God is Good pardon my ignorance I’m just have fun 300 on th floor n I don’t mean th label lol lol Harlem Whts up we did it again.”
Perry Farrell has released another public apology following an on-stage confrontation involving his bandmate Dave Navarro.
The Jane's Addiction frontman was involved in a physical altercation with guitarist Dave Navarro last year during a live performance, an incident that prompted the band to cancel their reunion tour and eventually led to their split.
“I'd like to address what happened on stage last year,” Perry, 66, said in a statement shared across both his personal Instagram account and Jane's Addiction’s official page. “I've reflected on it and know I didn't handle myself the way I should have. I apologize to our patrons and my bandmates for losing my temper and for disrupting the show.”
He went on to admit that he did not meet fan expectations and described himself as deeply remorseful toward everyone impacted by the incident.
“Jane's Addiction has been at the center of my life for decades. The band, the songs, the patrons, and the impact that we've had on music and culture mean more to me than any words I could ever possibly write down,” he shared.
“My aim has always been to give our audience the best possible show, something real, honest and positive. In Boston, we fell short of that, and I'm truly sorry to everyone who was impacted.”
Jane's Addiction also issued its own statement regarding the altercation, which ultimately led to the group’s remaining members filing a lawsuit against Perry alleging assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, and breach of contract.
“Today we are here to announce that we have come together one last time to resolve our differences, so that the legacy of Jane's Addiction will remain the work the four of us created together,” the band wrote, signaling that the group would not move forward with Perry. “We now look forward to the future as we embark on our separate musical and creative endeavors.”
