JIM JONES - RAPPERS DENY SHOOTING REPORTS

RAPPERS DENY SHOOTING REPORTS

Rappers JIM JONES and TRICK TRICK have spoken out after reports linked them to a shooting at a Detroit nightclub.
Rumours surfaced on the internet of an incident at the Esko Lounge in the early hours of Monday (16Mar09) which resulted in a fight and shots being fired.
The story is thought to have originated from a post on social networking website Twitter.com in which Detroit rapper P.L. wrote: "Club Esko. Me and Jim Jones were supposed to perform. Didn't happen. 20 n****s rushed Jim... shots rang out. 3 people shot."
But Jones later spoke to Hot 97 radio presenter Miss Info, telling her: "Nah, negative."
And when further reports suggested Trick Trick was involved, he told Detroit radio station WKQI: "I ain't left this house since Saturday."
A spokesman for Detroit police confirmed two men were wounded when shots were fired during an incident at the Esko Lounge, but have refused to name the victims.
