Fans Upset With Jim Jones For Saying Grown Men Should Not Watch Cartoons
Jim Jones is no stranger to controversies and when he appeared on a recent podcast, he spoke vehemently against grown ups watching cartoons.
The discussion took place on Wednesday, April 12, on a brand-new episode of Complex’s GOAT Talk Show. Jim got off on a tangent when questioned about the G.O.A.T. (greatest of all time) animated film with fellow Dipset members Juelz Santana and Freekey Zekey. Juelz made a stealthy decision to see The Lion King, but the Capo had other ideas.
“I’m not an anime ass n-gga,” Jim Jones began. “I stopped watching cartoons when them shits was coming on on Saturdays. I don’t know what these n-ggas be in they house doing. I don’t have time to sit down and watch a muthafuckin’ two-hour cartoon. You n-ggas is living in some other shit.”
When Juelz and Zeke mentioned that people may be watching with their kids, Jim disagreed.
“These n-ggas ain’t got kids. These n-ggas is watching this shit with they homeboys. [Like,] ‘Ay yo, you seen the new anime?!’ You got Boku and Roku and whoever these n-ggas names is. Like n-gga you want a cartoon tattooed on you, n-gga?!”
It’s unclear if Jim misheard the question as strictly anime or if he just had a bone to pick with the genre but one thing is certain: he’s not a fan of the Japan-produced animation. He may be in the minority, however, as fans had a lot to say in response.
Fans submitted their opinion as shared below;
“Old heads will go on a hour long rant bout anything modern ppl do lmao,” one person said, while another added: “n-ggas love pretending they so busy lmao you are not Jay Z.”
“Jim Jones is corny as hell,” someone else added. “I don’t watch anime like that, but some anime are dope. I am sure his kids watch anime.”
However, not everyone disagreed with Jim’s take. “This just a generational gap,” one user tweeted. “N-ggas in they 40s and up don’t fuck with anime, maybe a few here and there, but our cartoon/anime phase left after we outgrew GIJoe and transformers.”
“I both agree and disagree. There is nothing wrong with watching whatever tf you want to watch,” another said. “But there also be mfs out here pushing 30 obsessed with these fictional characters like they fucking 12. Grow tf up. And this applies to all media fr, not just anime.”
