Jim Jones has taken his act to a stage, but not one we may have come to expect. Instead of a regular stage he normally performs on, he’s taken his act to the theater stage. He recently worked on Hip-Hop Monologues: Inside the Life and Mind of Jim Jones.

While many believed he went into this to pursue another avenue of expression, Jones admitted that it had nothing to do with artistry.

“I’m not one of the people who say I do things for the craft of it,” Jones said in an interview, according to Associated Press.

VIDEO: Gunshots Fired At Rick Ross Party

VIA RX:

At a nightclub party in Brooklyn, NY, gunshots were fired while rapper Rick Ross was talking during a stage performance and the incident was caught on video tape. In the video footage, Rick Ross can be seen and heard speaking to a crowd in Brooklyn, when at the 1:00 minute mark of the video, you can hear gun shots fired in the club.

Though Rick Ross is involved in a current hip hop beef with rapper 50 Cent who’s based out of Queens, NY, the incident reportedly had no association and was a separate incident involving someone or something else inside of the club.

After the shots were fired, the crowd scrambles apart as one club-goer can be heard screaming “they shooting!” while Rick Ross, who was still on stage along with Triple C’s artist Gunplay at the time can be seen scoping the crowd and then can be heard still speaking, from the mic, the words “Trillaaaaa” while afterward saying, “I love ya’ll, Deeper than Rap,” before exiting the stage.

Coincidentally though, it’s somewhat ironic that the incident happened in the same town where the name “50 Cent” derived from, referring to Kelvin Martin, the 1980s Brooklyn robber known as “50 Cent.”

There were no official statements released by Ross or his reps regarding the gunshot incident at the Brooklyn party which, by the way, reportedly occurred at the BK Night Club.
