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.”

LMAO… he argues like a black woman
He argues like a “black woman?” Hmm…and someone says he is cowardly for pulling out the race cards …yet most of these comments consist of some of the most blatant racist statements I’ve ever had to displeasure of experiencing.
Now, based on these comments I am absolute convinced racism is still a huge problem in the U.S.
You all should be ashamed of yourself … and God is watching. You might be able to lie to yourself but the Lords of Karma see everything and your deeds are being recorded?
You’re a fucking moron if “based on these comments” you just realized racism is “still a huge problem”.
P.s – who the fuck are the Lord’s of Karma? Keep smoking.
Lololol!
What gave it away that there is a huge problem with racism?? The Anti White and Anti Semitic Comments under almost every Article related to a non black Artist?? The only thing that this proofs is that there is a huge problem with racism in Hip Hop and that Hip Hop is probably the most discriminating Music genre but thats it
