Jim Jones Reveals He Wants To Marry Chrissy Lampkin, She’s Not Interested In Wedding


She’s just enjoying their relationship as it is.

Many moons ago, Chrissy Lampkin was on a mission to walk down the aisle with Jim Jones. The rapper and his longtime girlfriend were one of the first cast members of Love & Hip Hop, and while hip hop fans were more than familiar with the Dipset rapper, the reality show was the first time Chrissy was truly introduced to the world on such a global scale.

Their relationship woes were played out for millions, especially the animosity between Chrissy and Jim’s mother, and while their relationship still may not be perfect, it seems that over the years they’ve come to a better understanding. There was a point back in 2011 when Chrissy even proposed to Jim, only to receive a response of “I’m with you.”

Later, Jim also proposed to Chrissy, and fans awaited the big day when these two would exchange “I dos.” They’re approaching 16 years together and still haven’t wed, and Chrissy has made it clear that marriage is no longer a priority for her. On a recent episode of Love & Hip Hop New York, the couple had a heart-to-heart about their feelings on marriage and Jim’s response surprised viewers. 

“From inception, people have always had something to say about our relationship,” Chrissy said. “It’s partly my fault because I proposed to you. After that proposal, we didn’t get married because we weren’t ready and you’ve asked for marriage after that and I wasn’t ready. We’re still together. We have a crazy bond, nobody can tear it apart. We’ve been together, what, a million years? And if marriage never happens, I don’t feel a way about it anymore because marriage doesn’t complete us.”

“But I do want to get married,” Jim replied. ” I believe every woman who’s in love or is in a strong relationship that we are, deserves to have that.” Fifteen years in, Chrissy is no longer interested in going that route. “I don’t feel that way, and I know it sounds crazy,” she said. “In the beginning, I thought that was the end-all, be-all. I thought that was the natural progression but at this point, what does that gon’ change for us?”

Chrissy Lampkin Watches 2011 VH1 Clip Where She Proposes To Jim Jones: "That Was A Lot"

She said she'd never seen it before.

Fifteen years together and Chrissy Lampkin is still hopelessly in love with rapper Jim Jones. The couple was the catalyst for Love & Hip Hop which, in turn, has become a global reality television phenomenon with multiple spin-off series. However, Jim and Chrissy decided to leave the show early on after filming became too much for Jim to handle.

In a move that stunned fans, after seven years of living their lives away from cameras, Jim and Chrissy returned to Love & Hip Hop New York to not only share their intimate moments with viewers but to clean up some unfinished business. Their relationship has been the subject of scrutiny over the years as both Chrissy and Jim have proposed to one another, yet they've never walked down the aisle. They even had their own series Jim & Chrissy: Vow or Never, but somehow the exchange of "I dos" never occurred.

In early December 2019, Chrissy told the ladies of The Real that tying the knot isn't a priority for her anymore as she's in a good place with Jim. VH1 decided to spice things up on Monday by sharing a reaction clip that shows a present-day Chrissy watching herself propose to her man on the show back in 2011. In the clip, she planned to do a burlesque dance before popping the question but decided to scrap the sexy moves at the last minute.

"You know, I never watched this," Chrissy said. "Yo, you see his mother's face? My little hands were shaking." She also said that there were "so many guys" that "cursed me out about this scene." Apparently, their girlfriends bought them rings, as well, because their ladies decided not to wait on proposals. 

"That was a lot," she said after watching the clip. "I felt the love. I felt the nerves. I saw his mother's behavior. Um, it as weird and I'm not in that space anymore. But that's okay, I still love him. The love is still there. The importance of marriage, I think I've put on the back burner because I think people need to be whole as individuals before they come together for a union." Check out her clip below.
