A video of Jim Jones handing out Thanksgiving turkeys in Harlem today is spreading fast across social media. It comes after the rapper was seen enforcing order with a sharp glare and direct gestures. Meanwhile, he was running his annual YAMZ & Turkey Drive. The video was posted by @mymixtapez. It shows Jones standing behind a table full of frozen turkeys as he checks anyone trying to cut the line or grab extras. His tone is serious and his movements are quick. After all, his focus is on making sure every family gets one without chaos breaking out.
The footage was recorded this afternoon (November 26), outside Los 3 Charros Mexican Restaurant on Malcolm X Boulevard and West 113th Street in Central Harlem. That’s where the drive was held this year. Crowds filled the sidewalk as Jones was bundled in a dark coat and beanie. He was handing out turkeys with controlled urgency.

The clip has racked up more than 250,000 views and over 1,600 likes in just hours as fans react to the mix of community service and Jim’s trademark Harlem presence.
