Jim Jones says that his partner, Chrissy Lampkin, has him sticking to a strict workout regimen. The legendary Dipset rapper discusses his excise routine on MadameNoir’s Listen To Black Men podcast.
“When I met Chrissy I was still a little slim and she was the one that took me to the gym and showed me a few tricks about hitting that weight and gaining some weight and things like that,” Jim said in the interview. “I definitely didn’t wanna be the slim brother with my lady looking at too many guys that was in shape, so I wanted to tighten up a little bit.” He continued: “I figured she must like me a lot if she’s trying to put me [through that]. I guess I was a good model for her.”

Despite being together for many years now, Jones and Lampkin haven’t gotten married. Lampkin explained that decision during an interview with Essence back in 2019. “To be honest with you, it’s not a priority anymore,” she said at the time. “Our relationship is in a good place. I thought that [marriage] was the natural progression, but it’s not for everybody. So, we’re good right now.” Over the years, Jones and Lampkin have starred in multiple reality series including Chrissy & Mr. Jones and Jim & Chrissy: Vow or Never. They also appeared in Season 10 of Love & Hip Hop: New York.
Elsewhere in Jim Jones’ appearance on Listen To Black Men, he discussed the healthcare system in the United States, visiting the doctor, and more. The interview comes after Jones recently met up with the Mayor of New York City, Eric Adams. The two ate food together at Jones’ mother’s house. “You know how I feel bout u if u the eat food out my mamma fridge,” the rapper wrote on Instagram. “My love for my city is deep.”
