Jim Jones recently tumbled down an escalator while traveling. TMZ first shared the now-viral footage of Jim exchanging blows with a man at a Florida airport.
According to TMZ and Complex, the incident happened at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. What started it, though, and why it escalated are unclear.
After the footage began making its rounds, Jimmy took to Instagram Story. All he asked for was a “second,” seemingly suggesting he was coming back with details.
It appeared that the rapper headed straight to his stay after the lil’ brawl. He assured fans he was “aight” and didn’t seem to have any bruises or cuts on his face.
According to promo flyers on his Instagram Story, he was booked for an appearance at a Miami nightclub on Saturday. Later that night, a video of him at the booking showed him vibing to the music, unbothered.
Concern spread online because the video is WILD. It starts with Jim and a man confronting each other on the downward-moving escalator. The man seemingly shoves Jim, standing below him, and sends his hat flying.
With his blue cap only on, Jim Jones picks this man up and slams him on the escalator! They both slide down a couple of stairs. At the bottom, Jimmy and the man keep exchanging blows, and another man seemingly joins, beating on Jim.
Bystanders and a group of sheriff officers showed up on the scene seconds later and broke up the fight. Jim Jones could be heard telling them two people were “jumping” him.

Jim reportedly told TMZ, though, that he was defending himself.
“I was minding my business and defended myself. They got what they were looking for,” Jim reportedly said.
It’s unclear if any of the other men were detained or if anyone involved, including Jim Jones, plans to press charges.
So far, Chrissy Lampkin hasn’t said anything about her man’s airport tumble. It doesn’t appear that she accompanied him to this gig.
She recently went viral, too, after sharing pictures of herself on her 53rd birthday looking snatched and glowing!
