Love & Hip Hop’s Jim Jones and Chrissy Lampkin Talk Wedding Plans

Vh1’s Love & Hip Hop stars Jim Jones and Chrissy Lampkin sat down with Hot 97’s Angie Martinez to talk about their pending wedding.
After a week of Jim Jones (questionable) proposal to longtime girlfriend Chrissy Lampkin and days after   Chrissy attacked Yandy on the popular reality show aired, the newly engaged duo gets candid about reality beyond the show.

Chrissy said she and Jim haven’t set a date and that she has yet to start any wedding plans.
“Absolutely not; this is still just settling in…the whole engagement thing.”

This unusual response from a newly engaged woman prompted the radio host to ask if Chrissy was nervous about walking down the aisle.

“Yeah, I am. I’m scared of the wedding. A lot of planning and a lot of stuff I have to get together,” Chrissy said.

When Chrissy said the two haven’t planned a date yet, Angie told Jim that he couldn’t do a four year engagement because the streets were watching.

“Oh, man…is this what we’re gonna go through? We’re going to figure it out. Let’s do one thing at a time,” Jim said.

Though Jim was nontraditional in asking for his now-fiancé hand in marriage, the 34 year old rapper is adamant about a conventional wedding.

“I’m old school; we got to go to my grandmother church and do it there then after that we can get crazy.”

Chrissy quickly chimed in: “Me, I could’ve done a destination wedding. A few family members and a few friends.”

“My grandmother wouldn’t have allowed that,” Jim followed up.

The two may have to work the location kinks out, but both seem to be open towards the wedding being televised (so, much for traditional, right?). LOL!

“I hadn’t planned for it but let’s see,” Chrissy said. “Hey, if VH1 or somebody listening….,” Jim added.

Jones and Chrissy both seem nervous about their pending wedding…maybe airing the wedding on television can erase their jitters??

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
