In 2021, Jones became 6ix9ine's manager,[6] and helped renegotiate his contracts and release new music.[7] After 6ix9ine was assaulted in an LA Fitness bathroom, Jones wished him a speedy recovery. Opposingly, Boosie Badazz started a fundraiser for his attacker.[8] Whilst 6ix9ine was struggling financially, Jones confirmed it, saying he sent him $20 for gas.[9][10][11]
Legal issues
In 2019, The Game was found guilty of sexually assaulting Priscilla Rainey, a contestant on She's Got Game. Rainey was awarded $7,000,000 in damages, plus the royalties to his album Born 2 Rap. Jones claimed that he owned all the royalties to the album, and that he doesn't owe her anything.[12][13]
In June 2024, he offered to pay bail for former Los Angeles-area gangster Duane "Keffe D" Davis, who was convicted for the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur. This bail attempt was denied by Clark County District Court Judge Carli Kierny, who stated that she suspected Jones and Davis were attempting to profit from Davis' story.[18] Under Nevada law, it is illegal for convicted killers to profit from their crime.[18]
Personal feuds
In October 2019, after the death of Nipsey Hussle, Jones defended comments made by The Game towards the late Nipsey.[19] Later, in December, Nipsey's former bodyguard J Roc attacked Jones backstage during a Rolling Loud concert.[20] In 2023, he claimed he possessed a sex tape of Nipsey, another man, and the mother of his child.[21]
