24 - MIKE JONES GIVES FANS HIS PHONE NUMBER

Rising rap star MIKE JONES has decided to prove how committed he is to his fans - by giving his phone number to them.

The STILL TIPPIN' rapper, 24, decided to take the action after realising that his name was used to defraud a number of promoters.

He says, "Giving my cell number out proves I'm a people person. The reason I started that was because people would book fake Mike Jones shows.

"I started giving my number out so people could ask if I was really going to show up."

And Jones is now reaping the benefits, after seeing the devotion of his fans.

He adds, "Life is surreal when people come to me with tattoos of lines of my songs on them."
