Jim Jones invited Eric Adams over to his mother's house, earlier this week.

Jim Jones met up with New York City Mayor Eric Adams, earlier this week, at his own mother’s house. Afterward, he shared a photo of the interaction on Instagram. The two previously met for the first time at Drake’s Apollo Theater show back in January.

“Mayor E popped up at my mamma crib," Jones wrote. "You know how I feel bout u if u the eat food out my mamma fridge. My love for my city is deep." Fans of Jones weren't entirely happy with the post. “Hey Jim, do us all a favor and tell Playboy Eric Adams to do some damn work. Please and thank u,” one person wrote. Another added: “Doing everything but his damn job!”

After Jim Jones first bumped into Eric Adams during Drake’s Apollo Theater show, the Dipset rapper revealed that the Mayor texted him to plan a meeting within days. He wanted to discuss humanitarian efforts across Harlem with the legendary rapper. "A man of his word woke up to a text from @nycmayor askin if I can meet him in Harlem this afternoon Which was a surprise because our schedule meeting was for next month,” Jones wrote on Instagram at the time. “Thts wht I alway say stay ready so u do have to get ready. Harlem ur always on my mind n in my heart this is goin to b fun @gohardboyznyc @goharddance_harlemnyc.”

Eric Adams became the Mayor of New York City after defeating Republican Curtis Sliwa in the 2021 general election in a landslide victory. During his administration, he's been a controversial figure for his tough-on-crime approach to policing. He's reintroduced a plain-clothed unit of police officers and been strict about unhoused people sleeping on subway cars.
