Jason Mitchell on Growing Up Around Lil Wayne, Playing Eazy-E, Fired from The Chi (Full Interview)

[@angelinasalese-caldwell6394]

For the record i will always support and push Jason Mitchell forward he is a sweet, mannerable selfless person with a genuine love for acting and truly wants to see people thrive. He started a acting seminar during the pandemic and called out to all aspiring actors to offer classes and pointers and advice in which i responded to on behalf of my 5 yr old grandson who aspires to be on tv. Once Jason realized my grandson couldn't read yet he didn't turn us away he personally thought of a scene that my grandson could memorize and he took the time out to go over it in front of the virtual class to make my grandson feel like he was just as much a part of the class. i have respected and loved him since. he even put a instagram post shouting my grandson out. I am so happy for Jason and i wish him much success forever

[@hluv77]

beautiful story

[@jennaejones5285]

Jason appears to me to be a Kool guy. That's the one who usually goes thur all the crap. Never fails to happen. Everything I've seen him in, he was awesome. He's a great actor. Acting is definitely one of his callings.😊 Jason is a Capricorns never change because everything I've seen him in He's so natural.

[@mikepernell3545]

Oook

[@tammymorgan5348]

The Chi has not been as good since he left. He was really on the come up, and I really hope he's able to reestablish the same trajectory.

[@michelleoverton6523]

That part 😢yeah that really hurt and was hella disappointing

[@rodhipps6378]

Just a gay indoctrination now

[@anthonyharris6835]

He basically made the chi. It sucks now

[@dawnskijawn8890]

Jason such a great storyteller and a pure person. I hated what happened to him but knew he would come out on the other side.

[@tomtheaddict]

what happened to him?

[@j.garcia548]

Dude should've gotten an Oscar nomination for portraying Eazy.

[@T..1147]

I agree

[@johnmoyarbmg5845]

I laughed

[@darrellle4967]

Superfly was dope 2

[@damongipson-dg8pc]

He just got a golden globe

[@zgpm7031]

This was a good interview. Very rarely i watch the whole thing through. But when officer Vlad isn’t constantly validating himself, and uses that over exaggerated laugh, lets the guest speak freely, and the guest is eloquent, its worth a watch. Haven’t sat through a whole interview since mob James first one. Well done officer glad.

[@Finlandddddddddd]

Right!!

[@memyselfi1828]

He played the hell out of Easy E. As a Cali native I had no clue he has a Lousiana accent. He is talented!

[@johnmoyarbmg5845]

Bruh. Anyone could put a accent on record. He's not a new Orleans native just grew up in

[@FieldGeneralCTC]

@@johnmoyarbmg5845But the N. O. Made him!

[@dangelogodoy4191]

He’s for sure talented!

[@zybrealjohnson5388]

This was a great interview. Crazy how things was happening to him, but I love how he’s seeing a different side for himself for better❤️.

[@jonathanquintero-iw7uz]

Just for the record I will always watch anything Jason comes out in and look forward to more movies with him

[@tonijames-vk8sz]

Jason’s smile lights up the room!!!!! That hospital scene made me cry real tears!!!!!

[@solokizzy737]

I’m glad he did this interview and told his story. Best wishes to him!

[@bree_amputee]

I love Jason Mitchell. Every body go thru storms, it's how you humble & redeem yourself that shine ❤💯

[@aceyo816]

Very smart brother, he turned his life around. Tremendous interview 👏🏿

[@flowwiththew9013]

Bro. Do more interviews. U speak for more than yourself & represent well. 👌🏾

[@moxgen]

When he did the Breakfast club interview he said the same thing, nothing sexual. It was crickets, no one ever came out and disputed what he said, not even Tiffany Boone. I've watched the 2 hour video all the way through not a dull moment. I look forward to seeing more him, he's a great talent.

[@tyo484]

Yea i call big CAP on the sexual allegations fr fck that Ayanna lady she a clown for that

[@Jae_Denee]

Jason is a genuine and dope soul. I have always liked him from DAY ONE. Great Interview for once!!

[@AshleySpeaks09]

What a phenomenal actor. I can’t name how many times he made me cry on The Chi. And they weren’t even the tearjerker scenes just watching the characters grind. I cried when Brandon got robbed/food truck stolen and I also cried when he realized he forgot the plates at the food competition. I was always rooting for his character. I still watch the show for Papa, Jake and Kevin but all the substance left w Jason. I believe that he played a major part in his downfall but I’m hoping there’s another chance for him to act on a major level again he is extremely talented.

[@CHAOSINC5]

Word for word my experience with the show what really got me was how she cut Kevin’s hair so many subliminal messages of healing throughout it just for it to end like this is a miserable turn out

[@okilladmityouarerightbut4827]

[@donnaholmes2344]

This is an awesome interview with Jason. He's speaking the truth on everything especially the industry. Luv it

[@geethinks]

Hey folks... what you came for (The Chi drama) starts around 1:20:00 and (his allegations) 1:25:00. Def hope he continues to do well.

[@KJ-qg9pc]

thank you!

[@augustopanama8905]

For him to go through all that and get to where he has is quite the accomplishment!!!

[@jamesclark8931]

I really really enjoyed this interview i could listen to j Mitchell talk all day and tell stories he's gonna definitely bounce back no doubt and we're definitely rooting for him where im from!!!!

[@timiabrown6240]

Love Jason. He seems so humble and genuine

[@qbconnect2883]

I've been waiting for this full interview to drop. No way I was gonna be piecing together a million 3 min clips for a month straight to get the whole story

[@j_ocrates23]

great interview. always enjoyed this man's work as an actor and to have grown through the trials of this industry

[@courtney4868]

Dope interview glad to finally hear him speak on the allegations and I hope to see him in other films and tv shows

[@Mrmalcom1979]

The Chi hasn't been the same without him.

[@Ladyludagotsuga]

Literally

[@leelgangnunuest]

Lost show without him and it don't make sense

[@Pnut571]

100% agree they did him dirty big time

[@Steelersbaby]

Facts

[@Steelersbaby]

@leelgangnunuest The show has no sense of consistency whatsoever. I get it coz there's an aspect of life that's reflective of that but the way none of the original cast members from the 1st season is around and now is just ghost, simply speaks to the fact of how far reaching the show has gone without them.

[@ant112990]

He was there when wayne recorded the prefix.. damn thats a great memory.

[@ChiPoliticin]

If Lil Wayne could talk properly during interviews, this is exactly what he would sound like.

Same, not a lot of actors nowadays who are aren’t ‘soft’, he brings that raw energy

[@c.steele3386]

I have to watch out for his movies. My first time seeing and hearing him and didn’t think i would watch this interview but I did do to his good energy and authenticity. Congrats on your success !

[@JB-qn3tw]

Jason is my guy, would like to see him in more STARRING ROLES. GREAT ACTOR 👍🏽

[@christianblake7357]

He’s such a nice Man and very humble

[@ghostwalker89]

Loved this interview. Love a story of s young brother coming up and making it big the right way. Love the struggle aspects.

[@ozyman]

Thank you Jason, for everything.

[@drkwoods1310]

Its so sad how your can be torn down as fast as your being built up. He is a good actor and prayers for him as he comes back up to where he should be.

[@gaitenkendra]

And that is why I still love him!!

[@mjpthetrucker9485]

Thank you Vlad for giving this man airtime to speak his mind!

[@Pnut571]

One of my favorite interviews

[@benfrazier8385]

I honestly believe him, and always have. Not because I’m a New Orleans native but because it just adds up. I wish bro nothing but the best str8 ⬆️ and it’s stuck

[@malyroberts9075]

Insightful interview. I hope he gets back to the top level of his acting game.

[@renbur8223]

Great interview! Best of luck to Jason Mitchell.

[@yuniquestanford2401]

Jason Mitchell is an awesome talent. He has to accept a little accountability for certain things. His temper is what caused certain things to happen. He needed this break to self reflect. Hopefully he comes back stronger than ever

[@renbur8223]

I agree. He's a great actor with excellent talent. I wish him the best in his future endeavors.

[@rodhipps6378]

You can judge him?

[@biggface7]

DOPE INTERVIEW!!! Salute Jason 🫡

[@dorkonyiasmith2695]

This was dope to see and very proud of him I actually grew up and went to school with bro in 7th an 8th grade when his family was stationed at FT Polk Louisiana when my family was stationed played football an ran track together an everything... very dope to see.

[@donnettafurnanders7576]

Great interview covered so much still Love him as an actor but his entrepreneurial hat is sitting Wonderfully on him Congratulations 🎊 👏🏾 to him & still a fan of future endeavors

[@JoeL-nd1yl]

What a good interview! You did great vlad. It really sucks what happened to jason. I enjoyed everything he's been in. Mudbound was phenomenal. Im glad he said that one was special to him. He has a personality that's very relatable. He has good energy. Chi went down after him. Feels like a completley different show now! I stopped watching. I hope him the best and I'm hoping to see him in alot more. He deserves it after everything he been through.

[@claramajor5510]

This was a great interview and teachable moments o how you shouldn’t believe everything you see in the media. I just wish he took more take accountability for the part played

[@BARNEYRUBB86]

Great interview l'm a fan and wish you many blessings in the future

Never knew he from Nola! His accent is for real! Crazy.

I stopped watching The Chi when they let him go.

[@mattlawrence1932]

Shoutouts to falllen fathers , mine left me right before i became a real man when i was 16 or 17 & it was always hard to cry & mourn but i do also let out alot of tears over everyone that has passed away nowadays!!!! U can't hold it in forever trust me

[@colbygill940]

One of my favorite actors 50 we need him on his own show

[@chrishamilton9647]

I find it hard to believe they can’t find a way to bring this man back to The Chi. That would be like Ghost coming back to Power: Book 2

[@Itski2life]

You know he’s from a military family he said “Hurry Up & Wait” I hate hearing that 😂PTSD FRFR

[@tazflcn]

NEW ORLEANS STAND TFU!💪🏾

[@seanj1895]

Vlad, you need to get the hint…. He did not want to discuss the 2020 arrest. That’s why you get the “Label” as a fbi agent, because you went on discussing it.

It's nice to see somebody from New Orleans make it. And he went to Fortier.

[@blues204th4]

They did him dirty.

[@johnmoyarbmg5845]

He did himself dirty. Dude a whole sexual harassment artists. If allegations wasn't true. Why did he delete his social media only to come back 2 years later

[@paulettephilips9789]

I'M SUCH A CRYBABY I CRIED WHEN HE DIED BECAUSE ALL I SEEN WAS A CASKET THEN HIS PICTURE, CATCHING UP ON THIS SHOW, HE WAS GREAT ON THE CHI

[@avisbrooks680]

Great interview. Great guy 👍

[@DougDaDon94]

You always have to distance yourself from anything, famous or not at the end of the day you know right and wrong, and know what you should be around and what you shouldn’t

[@tammymorgan5348]

I enjoyed this interview. Vlad gets a lot of flack, but i appreciate him allowing people to tell their own stories.

[@petarrakoc1416]

When he doesn’t do too much gotcha questions he can make a good interview

[@theninethrees8044]

Man, I can completely relate to the story of what happened to his Dad as I went through the exact same situation, except I didn’t hate mine. Tough times indeed

[@DacMan-lq9up]

Sad that so many Black kids are taught that being from poor and violent areas is something they should be proud of even though that environment causes so much PTSD and death.

[@corysmith4361]

It's not about being proud of it. It's about not forgetting where you come from.

I love this dude

[@pattypatty718]

Loved his new movie Call her King.

[@xoxomiia]

I appreciate that he was forthright and open about his misconduct. While he has a history of anger, it does not necessarily mean that he sexually harassed an individual. I empathize with genuine sexual harassment victims, however, there is a significant number of women who lie about their experiences. Gina did this with Martin Lawrence and ended Martin. No way I’d ever be around her again! But Gina was all smiles at reunions at hangouts. I have a neighbor who was accused of sexually harassing a woman who also continues to come around him and was just in his house again lol you never know with people to be honest. Very strange.

[@AshleySpeaks09]

I’ve always said if I’m going into war I’m taking NOLA, South Central and Chicago with me. Speaking of NOLA I’m ready for a big budget Cash Money series like they did for WuTang or maybe a series like Abbott Elementary set in NOLA. Tremé tried and it was good but I want NOLA to be seen by the masses like Snowfall and The Chi. Signed a Small Town Texan

[@TOPHITTA463]

Good interview 👍🏿

[@KLegyyn]

Straight up, I hate how Jay M. has to say "here we go again." . I truly wish it was not at all, but that's impossible in America as a Black man. . This was a decent interview because I wanted to hear Jay's story, and I'm glad that I did. . .

Vlad talks a lot sometimes but he does the best interviews on his platform.

[@Ranlyron]
