“On this Christmas, my mom’s house just burned down,” Jones says, recording a clip of himself talking. “But the best gift of all is that all my family is together, everybody is safe. It’s just crazy. Christmas was going good. I don’t know. Sometimes you just gotta count your blessings.”

He goes on to confirm that there were no injuries suffered as a result of the fire, pointing out his blessings and adding that he is refusing to let the situation get the best of him or his family.

“Today I was blessed wit th greatest Christmas gift in my life thus far and tht is my family gettin out of th house safe sound n wit out injuries,” he wrote, captioning his Instagram post. “We can always buy new houses new cars new evrything but we can’t buy a new family. On th flip side watchin my momma house burn touch my soul in ways I couldn’t imagine. I wasn’t raised wit my mother but my son was and his whole life of memories gone in a flash. If u know me then u know I’m gonna buy my family th biggest house I can afford and fill it wit more love. The devil is always workin but so is my God I got faith. Merry Christmas.”

While fans took to social media to share their condolences for the rapper and his family’s life-altering personal loss, it was also brought to Jones’ attention that someone had created a fraudulent GoFundMe page in hopes to perhaps capitalize on the tragic situation.

“This is a lie do not send money to this fraud its not us we have nothin to do wit this,” Jones posted, sharing a screenshot of the unassociated page. “I have insurance stupid lol it’s f—ked up people use other people’s tragedies to benefit from F—k u n go fund me for allowing this to happen I see go fund me allow allot of this bulls—t to happen they must b really makin lot of money if of people misfortunes ps thnku to everyone who text called emailed and showed so much love n concearn to my family we are happy to b together n everybody safe happy holidays from th jones’s.”
