Jam Master Jay’s Sons Break Silence Over Drug Dealing Allegations Surrounding Their Father’s Death

Nearly 21 years after the murder of RUN-DMC co-founder and legendary DJ Jam Master Jay (Jason Mizell), the case was resolved with the conviction of Ronald Washington, a childhood friend, and Karl Jordan Jr., his godson, who now face life in prison. In their first public comments since the verdict, Mizell’s sons, TJ and Jesse, addressed the drug-dealing allegations that have shadowed their father’s death. They disputed claims that their father dealt drugs to support his family due to diminishing Run-DMC earnings, emphasizing their belief in his innocence. Court documents suggest Mizell turned to drug trafficking as his music career’s income waned, even acting as a middleman in cocaine shipments to New York City. Despite these allegations, TJ and Jesse are determined to honor their father’s legacy as a hip-hop pioneer, highlighting the significant impact and responsibility they carry forward.
