‘It’s No Terms’: Jim Jones’ Mother Seemingly Shades Chrissy Lampkin and Claims Their Relationship Is Non-Existent

It looks like Chrissy Lampkin is in hot water with her fiancé’s mother, Nancy “Mama” Jones.

It’s no secret Lampkin and Mama Jones have a rocky relationship. In a recent interview the “Love and Hip Hop: New York” mother confirmed she and Lampkin were still not on good terms.

“We’re on no terms,” Mama Jones told People TV’s “Reality Check” series in a recent interview. “It’s no terms, it’s just there. She’s there, and that’s about it.”

Lampkin also claimed in one of the latest episodes of “LHHNY” that she purposely keeps her distance from her prospective mother-in-law.

“I don’t have one [relationship] with her,” Lampkin said on the show. “His mom isn’t happy for us so I separated myself.”

Lampkin and New York rapper Jim Jones have dated off and on for nearly 16 years. The couple have been engaged for nearly a decade but have yet to make it down the aisle. Lampkin recently admitted that getting married to the Dipset rapper is no longer a priority of hers and claimed she’s happy with the way their relationship as is.

Mama Jones, however, slapped down Lampkin’s remarks and claimed Lampkin’s notion that she’s not happy for her and Jim was false.

“That’s not true,” Mama Jones told People TV. “That’s all in her mind. … What it is is, certain things as where it’s like, me as a mother, I kind of expect certain things. Whereas her, coming into the family, she’s not really family-orientated like that. A little more or less disrespectful and on the disrespectful side towards me. So I don’t put up with too much nonsense. I am the type of person where when I see things — and I love my son and I know that’s who he loves — so whomever he loves I’m going to have to love.”

Jim and Lampkin don’t currently have any children together. Although Lampkin isn’t bent on getting married anymore, the rapper said he wants to. His mother, however, doesn’t see it happening.

“I wouldn’t say [he deserves] better than her, but I’m not for the marriage thing,” Mama Jones added. “Even though they’ve been together for a long time, they’re still not ready. Sorry.”

Fans took to social media to give their mixed reactions.

“You cant blame mama, jim jones dont put a stop it or put his feet down 😕 , his another mess, he like whatever, all three r a mess, the mom the son and chrissy”

“Mamma Jones seems jealous that her son isn’t just all hers 💁🏽‍♀️ . She is the reasons why I can’t stand Mother-in-laws. He is a grown ass man but moms just can’t let go of their child.”

Still independent.

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.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

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.
