Harlem rapper Jim Jones took his grievances with LA Fitness to social media after saying he was profiled at one of the popular fitness chain’s locations.

In a video uploaded to social media on Monday (February 5), Jones says the incident began when he asked if he could charge his phone using one of the gym’s computers. The employee at the desk refused him, and things escalated from there, to the point where he left and a gym employee accused him of giving her the finger on his way out.

Jones, who revealed that he’s been a member of the gym for four years, says he did no such thing.

“So, I’m in LA Fitness, and I’m trying to get a charger,” Jim Jones said. “And they trying to kick me out and terminate me. The lady lied on me. She said I gave her the middle finger in LA Fitness. And then she tried to tell me that I’m getting terminated for me asking for a charger in LA Fitness. I have yet said anything to anyone. I haven’t raised my voice to anyone. I haven’t did anything to anyone. So, right now I feel like I’m being profiled in LA Fitness.”

He added that he felt he was being treated differently because of his race and how he was dressed. “th least U could do is be helpful and courteous to all ur customers no matter color race wht clothes there wearing weather u like rap or country music.”

At one point, Jones started recording the employees at the gym, and his retelling of the incident, he was interrupted by one of them asking, “All of a sudden you’re the victim?”

Jones responded, “I am the victim. So, tell me what I did. Since you talking so much.”

Despite the incident, Jones explained at the end of his lengthy IG post that he was still able to work out “through all [the] BS.”
