Details are still releasing, but reports indicate that Jim Jones has stopped for having a suspended license. The rapper remains in police custody through this afternoon.
Jones’ upcoming album, Capo, is planned for next week, April 5th. Already in 2011, the rapper has been sued for topless scenes in his video last month, after surviving a car crash in January.

UPDATE #2: According to NYDN, Jim Jones pleaded guilty today to driving his Bentley with a suspended license. He was fined $200 and also paid an $80 court fee after entering a misdemeanor guilty plea.
His lawyer, Marianne Bertune, explained that the Harlem, New York native was unaware that his license was invalid because he did not see the notices stating that he had to pay a penalty.
ah shitty deal
true indeed
Is it me or do rappers make it easy for the police?
How he make something easy? It’s not like he got caught calling hits, flipping bricks or something serious, that damn near everybody know he a boss of.
When Stack Bundles got murdered, the niggas that did it were dead within 48 hours and Jim Jones never even got questioned about it. You to little to understand the real game Jim has mastered.
shut up nigga, obviously ur not from ny. Every1 get pulled over especially uptown. Jim jones was bound to get pulled over. Iv been pulled over 3 times in the last 2 month driving in harlem. Its not like he was waving a sign that said pull me over i have no license
those police are jealous of rich rappers. they wish they could marry the women those rappers have one night stands with. cops are broke and hate the fact that they don’t know what a $100,000 month looks like, shit not even a %100,000 year lol.
publicity stunt
damn straight
No, just a nigga with a busy ass lifestyle hustling making millions. You wouldn’t understand shit like that. This man is executive producer of the reality show Love and Hip Hop, owner of Bird Gang Records, half owner of Dip Set, owner of multiple apartment complexes, millionaire and owner of a clothing line.
A loser like you could never understand that.
Yeah! zaggiN smashing on these trolls today! LOL!
The Capo might end up having to rely on public transportation.
No, he got enough money to hire a driver, bitch. You ain’t shit but a hater.

It’s too bad Jim and Max broke up, because Max was supposed to be multi platinum by now.
i made jimmy suck my dick in the cell
then you woke up from your dream and realized it was jusr your little brother, in the bunk beds you two share in section 8 housing, bitch.
Please clear this up for me, but why is it 99 out of 100 when a rapper gets arrested for susp lisc its a NY dude??!! No disrespect but what is goin on in NY!?!?
educate yourself on the police state of NYC and the Hip Hop police division.
Nigga, they suspend these rappers for stupid shit just so they can rob them for money.
Was this Arab looking mo fo driving his cab att he time?
deka derka Jim jizz face,

All you have to do is read the underlying racism people! Only white boys say jizz!
Who in the fuck is he???
Ahh yeah!!! Dip shit!!!!!!!!!!!
And you came here to specifically type that? How intelligent! LOL!
He got more cash bundles than your whole family lol. That’s who Capo is, son.
THAT PICTURE SAYS WHAT IS A DMV????
Why everytime i see this guy its never anything positive, alway something negitive, not good at all. he is stupid
He just did a major show at the Nokia Theater and they posted a video here of the Dips speaking on Rocafella history, which most of you weirdos immediately slurped on Jay’s nuts. Maybe YOU only remember the bad stuff.
nigga, he just got crazy money from vh1 for that reality show and he getting paper with jimmy iovine.
wack
how is he wack? jim went gold on koch, with major distribution.
He should have pleaded guilty to being a washed up rapper.
how is he washed up, when his group just signed a 10 million deal with interscope records? you bum ass broke punk.
Your mother is washed up and Jones is richer than a mf.
Just thinking maybe jimmys career would be better had he made a collabo album with the MOTHERFUCKING BOSS OF THE RAP GAME AND THE CRACK GAME RICK RO$$, NEW ALBUM “GOD FORGIVES I DON’T” 12/13/11 COP THE DISC FAGGOTS!!!!! #MMGSTAYONTOP
jim should have stopped beefing with cam and dropped a major album after balling
He did drop a major album after Ballin’, and dropped another one this year. Pay attention.
he waited a whole 3 years to drop his major label album with columbia, because cam owned him and he had to take cam to court, so cam wouldn’t get paid for that album. next time you should attention.
show tonight. Homeboy Sandman interview and exclusive freestyle. follow on twitter at @RadioRebels
Stop being cheap and go out and buy some ad space. You should ashamed of yourself using SPAM.
damn stay up jimmy.
FREE JIM JONES!
lol he already out of jail, pimp.
This what happens when you own at least 4 luxury homes. He probably got the notice at one of his mansions he hasn’t stayed at in a long time.
do you really think jim jones has 4 mansions?
yes, jones has that much cash. he done sold at least 3 million records over his career, been on many tours and has his hands in everything, so being able to afford 4 homes that probably cost a million each isn’t hard to believe. You must still have only one car that you paying notes on? chump.
I heard Jim Jones was a bad rapper.
and I’m deaf in both ears.
And your sword commentary is dull. I can see clearly! LOL!
Too bad because you missed out on a very deep song called, “Concrete Jungle” on a very great album. You can always read the lyrics, you fucking sick hater.
Wack ass dude. He should have remained as Camrons hype man like he did during the confessions of fire era. With his retarded hair do…
And what does your comment have anything to do with him copping out to a driving citation? Nothing! LOL! Stop gossiping like a teenage girl!
stop hating on capo.
If you check Cam’s first album Jim was featured on “Me, My Moms & Jimmy”, so he was more than a hype man from day one.
I feel as if Jim Jones is a successful mini mogul and the cops can’t stand him driving a two hundred thousand dollar car, that cost more than the homes they still paying a mortgage on. All police officer aren’t bad, however, the few bad apples make the whole look like haters.
jones is a stand up dude and he is making money hand over fist without an album.
Jim Jones and Tony Yayo should do an album together, cuz they only weak rappers on hip hop’s strong groups G-Unit/Dipset.
Yayo ugly and old looking, but he got a nice flow. It’s not his fault Game destroyed G Unit around the time Yayo’s shit was coming out.
Look at this one concentrating on what a guy looks like! LOL!
How did this dude not know that his license was suspended? Does he not check his mail? Or whoever he pays to keep tabs on these things needs to be fired! Read the blog: http://theironthumb.wordpress.com/2011/10/07/hope-hes-hired-a-driver/
Do you know how many people drive and don’t know that their license is suspended? Courts and insurance companies make mistakes too.
this is how it is when you own more than one home in the same city and you live in your new jersey mansion. a hater like you could never understand that life.
money blinds vision.
no, when you don’t have vision, you can’t get money.
smh. Profound Anonymous profound.
Profound Anonymous profound.
So many people hate Jim as he still getting money. These haters about to off themselves as Jones keeps walking cocky to the bank.
Yeah zaggiN! Take these boards back from these poser weirdos! LOL! The White dudes who know the deal know we doing the right thing! Next we gonna petition HHDX to turn on the email requirement to get rid of you weirdos! Believe that! We got plenty of racial comments and nonsense as proof! LOL!
And we care because?
