Kanye West has had some less than flattering things to say about various other artists in recent days, including Jim Jones. “F*CK JIM JONES," the Yeezy founder tweeted simply earlier this week. The seemingly random jab took social media users by surprise, as just a few weeks ago, he and Jones appeared to be on good terms during a trip to Tokyo.
He went on to clarify exactly what his issue with the New York rapper is, revealing that it all stems from a conversation about crypto. “SOOO JIM JONES GOT PAID 2 MILLION TO INTRODUCE ME TO A GENTLEMAN NAMED MR PINK TO DISCUSS MY CRYPTO COIN AND NEVER TOLD ME HE WAS GETTING 2 MILLION AND NEVER CUT ME IN,” he alleged. Despite feeling slighted, he made it clear that he still has love for Jones, but he did take the opportunity to make fun of his technical skills. “I ACTUALLY LOVE JIM JONES AND I’LL NEVER NEVER GO FULL YE, BUT I WANT THE PDF MORE THAN THE MONEY," he declared.
Jones ended up issuing a brief response to the rant on Instagram yesterday (March 20). He suggested that drugs could allegedly be behind the artist's latest tirade. “Ye sniffin’ Ye, lol but keep my name alive champ we love KanYE,” he wrote. "He’s lucky I don’t have time to talk bout lies right now only th truth lol lol lol."
Jones isn't the only person Ye has had something to say about lately, however. He's also gone after Jay-Z and Beyonce's children, his ex-Kim Kardashian and her family, and more in recent days. Earlier today, he even dragged Kendrick Lamar, insisting that he ruined Playboi Carti's new album MUSIC. "YALL DUMB A** INDUSTRY PLANTS RUINED THE KING OF THE UNDERGROUND'S ALBUM WITH THAT R**IST TONE ALL OVER THE PLACE. CARTI MADE MY FAVORITE MUSIC UNTIL I HEARD KENDRICK ON IT," he wrote.
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.”
