In a surprising twist following the intense Verzuz battle against The LOX, Jim Jones not only faced defeat but also found himself grappling with COVID-19.

Scheduled to make an appearance on the upcoming episode of Drink Champs, Capo shared a revealing teaser. He disclosed that immediately after the iconic Verzuz showdown in NYC in 2021, he tested positive for Covid for the very first time.

Confessing the ordeal, Jones stated,

“I caught Covid after the Verzuz,” Jones admitted. “That was the only time I got Covid. The LOX gave me Covid. On top of everything that night, they gave me Covid. I couldn’t win for nothing.”

Despite The LOX emerging victorious over Jimmy and Dipset on that memorable evening, all wasn’t doom and gloom for Jones during the pandemic’s peak.

While many individuals opted to remain indoors to steer clear of Covid’s reach, the Harlem native adopted a different approach. He dedicated himself to work even harder, orchestrating nearly 300 collaborations. This strategic move not only heightened his presence but also solidified his role as a prominent figure in the ever-evolving rap scene.

Elaborating on this, he expressed,

“Doing that putting me visibly all over because I did so many features like damn near 300 features and it was lucrative,” he added.
