Jadakiss has revealed he’s petrified of watching scary movies after enduring a horrifying experience while growing up as an only child.
The Yonkers rap legend sat down with Sway in the Morning alongside Set Free earlier this week where he admitted to the horror film phobia.

“I am absolutely scared shitless of horror films,” he said. “Besides my name being Jason, I want nothing to do with horror films. I’m scared to death, I hate horror films.
“I’m an only child so I grew up by myself. I would be at my cousins’ cribs or we’d go to the movies and I gotta go home alone. They got siblings, they good.”

Kiss continued: “I’m in there I’m seeing Michael Myers, and hearing the closets are shaking, my mom don’t come home ’til 12. I had one of them kind of bad experiences with scary movies.”
However, Jada figured out one way to avoid the nightmares of horror movies by changing the soundtrack or watching them on mute.

“Once I was able to get them out of my mind, but now the cool thing with a horror flick, if you turn the sound off, it’s really a comedy,” he explained. “Turn the music off it’s not scary you can put your own soundtrack to it and it really won’t affect you too much.
“Them eerie horn pianos and strings and all of that stuff really stays with you. I ain’t a fan of horror flicks.”
While his government name might be Jason and he made the Freddy vs Jason-inspired Friday on Elm Street project with Fabolous, don’t expect Kiss to watch any more scary flicks.
The pair of New York-bred rap titans delivered their years-in-the-making Friday On Elm Street project in November 2017.

The joint project debuted at No. 10 on the Billboard 200 with features from Styles P, French Montana, Teyana Taylor, Swizz Beatz, Future and more.
In other Jadakiss news, Jim Jones believes the LOX rapper missed out on an opportunity go platinum by not dropping a project following their Verzuz battle.
The LOX went head-to-head with Dipset in an epic Verzuz battle at Madison Square Garden’s Hulu Theater in August 2021, which was watched by around 645,000 people online at its peak.
Jadakiss received a ton of attention after the battle thanks to his MVP-worthy performance, but Jim Jones believes he should have dropped an album immediately after to make the most of the moment.

“‘Kiss reaped a lot of benefits from the Verzuz, man,” Jones told AllHipHopTV in a new interview. “I mean, we all do things different and shit like that, but he had a hell of an opportunity to do a lot.
“I wish that he would have dropped a project at that time because it didn’t even matter what he would have put out in that window of time that he had. He could’ve just took eight records he had in the stash and just put them bitches out, that bitch was going platinum.”
