Rapper-turned-reality star Jim Jones turned heads for all the wrong reasons Thursday (January 6) when he took to Angela Yee‘s ‘Lip Service’ podcast to reveal his mother taught him how to French kiss by practicing on her.

“I learned my sex education from my mother. She told me everything about sex,” the 45-year-old shared as we reported here. “My first condoms, everything like that. My moms taught me how to kiss when I was younger.”

The shocking comment quickly set Twitter ablaze, with responses ranging from concern to ridicule and roasting.

As the heat from the statement spread across the net, Jones tried to douse the flames by taking to Instagram to suggest he was simply joking.  Hear it from him inside:

Taking to Instagram, Jim stressed that the Twitter reaction to his ‘French kissing’ comments were too much.

“For the record, I love my mama more than anything in the world. And for the record, it was a joke,” he said. “You people take things way too far… That’s weak what y’all trying to project.” 

In addition to what was stated in the video, the post was captioned:

“Knock it off enjoy ^th[e] laugh stop takin life so serious. Th[e] media loves to take something so simple and tune into a head line smh lol.
Stop it 5
My child hood was better than urs and I was raised to b a respectful young man by nothin but queens”

The sentiment echoes that of his mother, who also took to social media Thursday to respond to the hoopla by saying she’s not a ‘nasty mother.’
