It seems Harlem rapper Jim Jones has an expensive taste, and when he goes shopping, he needs top-notch service from the luxury brands he visits. Rappers flaunt shopping trips to various luxury labels and post their experiences on social media platforms. Some are enthusiastic enough to drop the brand's name in their song lyrics.
Gucci has been a staple for many rappers, and previously Jim Jones has been in support of Gucci. But it seems like Gucci lost one loyal customer because of a lack of hospitality.
Jim Jones was unhappy about this shopping trip at a Gucci store because it seemed to him that employees were ignoring him and wanted to give him a run-around when he asked for the store manager.

"We've been in Gucci for about an hour. Right? And we in the Gucci in the VIP. Since we came here haven't nobody came to show us no courtesy, no amenities, no nothing. Period!"
Rapper also detailed his bad experience with customer service at the store, stating that they were taken to the VIP area just to be sitting there for an hour without any help. When asked for help or even a basic necessity such as water, they "sent a Black man" who didn't seem to care or be helpful. Things only got worse when he asked to see the store manager.

"They hire these Black people and these Black people are more racists than white people when they get their job, inside the Gucci. Stop playing with us bro."
