  • its a shame all that money and he can't get a delivery weed man wow, second jojo should of new that if he's balln in the hood the police are gonna suspect you of doing somthing start watching you then bust you.smoke on but damn get a delivery in find a spot to go @ blow.cats gotta b thinking out here cuz that sh*t reflects on his family n thats not cool
  • Peace to grind for keeping real. Jo keep your head up famz there is no one in this world that is perfect. So as you pick your self up make sure you learn your lesson from this and be positive
  • It's ok JOJO...everyone makes mistakes. As far as how it will play out on the show...who knows. I feel like Rev has always kept it real on the show and I believe he will do the same in this situation. Keep ya head up JoJo
  • My prayers go out to Rev Run, the family and Jo Jo. Hopefully, Jo Jo will learn how much opportunity he has and stop the spoiled, rich-boy antics. He has potential. His dad sees it, his Uncle sees it... we see it. Get yourself together and come back stronger from this. We want to be proud of you.
  • The integrity of this site just went way up just based off them being willing to cover the story. I'm impressed beyond belief that Global Grind would post a story about it based off the fact that JoJo is Russell's nephew.

  • JoJo will be fine he has God, and a great family behind him and besides TMZ always tries to spread gossip let that family deal with their situation in private as best they can given their celebrity status!
  • Wishing you all the best JoJo... Think...keep your priorities and wisdom at the forefront... that said.. we all make mistakes, we all fall short; be smarter and wiser next time. Much love... from a mom on Mother's Day.
  • you guys r sooo lame hu r sayin dat lyk hes heading down da wrong path n all dat bullsh*t..hu hasn't smoked? me n pretty much every person i no smoked weed every few weeks. its not even a drug really, wich is y its legal in most countries except ours..its da same thing as alcohol wit prohibition in da early 20th century..get over it jesus..n im only 15..yall got shiitted on
    • If you would have proof read your comment and realized how rediculous you sound...maybe you would reconsider smoking weed. Just say no dude
  • It was stupid how he did what he did but who cares if he smokes weed you can have the best family around you doesn't mean you can't sit back and blow one. plus if you know anyone whos parents are are priest or strict people their kids are almost all wild so it wasn't a surprise and no big deal he's 19 chill people
  • Sometimes life give you a wake up call when you are going down the wrong path.

    Everyone make mistakes the key is to learn from them.
  • Run from Run DMC is a great guy i met him in roof top in the 80 dee's.
    I think Run DMC are the best in the world (hands down please). but what happen to his son is this???? Run is the man, he started small but his son was born into this fame and he don't no how to take it . You have to be broke to no the difference and to learn the life style of the one that was giving to you..... you heard all the rap songs you know that was not a smart move. Don't you have a house where you can smoke??? You can go in the bathroom and do it and come out and light it up??? I use to live in Harlem if you up on the {HILL} you are trying to get drugs point blank!!!!! that is not a place for you to be cause if the right crack head see you your just another {HIT} ,,,am sorry to say you are not built like that!!!! you are the son of run from the group [RUN DMC} the best rap group in the world not gangster rap ...

Your lucky the cops up there got to you before the thugs did...If the streets ain't have no love for Jam Master Jay then who are you?? To many guys up there cause they have to be, you ain't on of them so THANK GOD and go surfing or something else that's dudes in the hood can only watch on T.V. Trust me Jojo this ain't the kind of excitement that you are looking for.
