Who is Jim Jones' mom? Rapper says she taught him how to kiss, sparks outrage

Jones claimed that since his mother Nancy Jones had him when she was only 17, it was not unusual for them to share such a close bond

Jim Jones' interview with radio personality Angela Yee’s 'Lip Service' podcast turned out to be a shocker for the audience after he described how his mother taught him about sex education first. “I learned my sex education from my mother. She told me everything about sex,” the 45-year-old shared. “My first condoms, everything like that. My moms taught me how to kiss when I was younger.”

When Yee asked him what his mom taught him about sex, the Harlem rapper Nancy Jones aka Mama Jones taught him how to tongue kiss by actually kissing him herself. "My mom taught me how to kiss when I was younger," Jones said, to which Yee replied, "What was the instructions?" "There wasn’t no instructions, she showed me with her mouth," Jones replied. A visibly shocked Yee asked, "She kissed you?", to which Jones said, "It’s my mother, what do you mean?". While the rapper certainly felt there was nothing more to it, his comments blew up on social media with some increasingly shocked reactions and accusations against his mom.

Jones further said that since his mother had him when she was only 17, it was not unusual for them to share such a close bond. He claimed that mothers who have children at such a young age tend to treat their kids like brothers and sisters because of their closeness in age. He further explained that there was nothing to be shocked at the fact that Mama Jones was very direct when it came to teaching him sex education.

Who is Nancy Jones?

Born in 1860, Nancy Jones is a community activist, youth advocate and self-professed hustler, with several business ventures. In 2006, she appeared in the presentation tape for 'Keeping Up with the Joneses', with Jim and Chrissy, which would form the basis for 'Love & Hip Hop'. Nancy is a supporting cast member on the first two seasons of 'Love & Hip Hop: New York' and on the spin-off show 'Chrissy & Mr. Jones'. Her Facebook page says she is a "mother, businesswoman, youth advocate and mentor." Her Instagram bio reads, "Your Favorite TV Mama, Entrepreneur| Author| God & Family always".

What is social media saying?

After his interview aired, social media users took to Twitter to discuss what he said about his mother, some claiming he was actually molested. "So Jim Jones says he was joking but his mom admits to doing it & says she was “teaching him to survive and actually be able to deal with a woman” that is SICK & DISGUSTING," one user wrote. "#JimJones fu**** up when he shared with the world that his mother taught him how to tongue kiss… He should have kept that one in private… That’s like takin’ your losses in private… He should have known how social media was comin’ behind that!" said another.

"I’ve heard so many men casually share their stories of sexual abuse and/or grooming like Jim Jones did and they don’t even realize they are victims," one user commented, while another said, "If #JimJones WASN’T playing, that is a perfect example of how sexual trauma can be so embedded in our lives and within our families systems, that we can’t even recognize it when it’s happening OR call it what it is, even when we know it’s wrong." "What's the conversation? Jim Jones mother put her tongue in her child's mouth and said child says that the first time he tongue kissed a woman was nasty but not the time he tongue kissed his mama. He literally said that. So where is your petition to lock his mom up???" one user wrote.
