Jim Jones Video Banned
 
Jim Jones' new video for "Baby Girl/G's Up" has been banned from Canadian television station Much Music.

Word is the station didn't add the clip to its rotation because the "G's Up" part of the video features Jones' crew wearing black shirts that read "Stop Snitching" on a red octagon reminiscent of a stop sign. The Toronto, Ontario-based station reportedly banned the video featuring the shirts because they contend it encourages witnesses of crimes not to report information to law enforcement.

In recent months, the Toronto area has been hit with 33 fatal shootings and even more injuries related to gun violence. Toronto police are struggling to get witnesses to cooperate and reveal information on the city's rising gun violence.

"I was not in any way trying to promote violence by having those t-shirts in my video. I was simply making a comment on using your integrity," Jones stated on the shirts.

Jones is reportedly disappointed by the station's censorship. The Harlem rapper/executive stresses he has long been working with the community and taken a stance against violence.

"I do a lot of community work in Harlem and I am a Board Member of the Hip-Hop Summit Committee," Jones explained. "And this year, I will be taking part in the Million Man March, an upcoming demonstration in Washington, DC that encourages people to build communities, avoid violence, register to vote, and invest in black businesses."

Jim Jones' Harlem: Diary of a Summer featuring "Baby Girl" and "G's Up" is in stores now.
