about rivalry with ali mbonda when ali came to bcbg he said he was playing the parts before jb's entrance then ali took over as he automatically became a clear number 1 based on his bigger name and he was never noticing something anormal until one day somebody who was seeing him coming to church early in morning told him not "share his breath" with somebody else, which he was not understanding at first and until today he has never ever seen that person again,and in reality it meant that he had to be careful with his whistle,and at some point mbokaliya took him apart and told him lil bro whats going on,as soon as ali plays everytime you play again when he takes a break its like you dont even exist we dont hear you or feel you when its your turn
and he decided to seek for another orange whistle and was having his whistle in the left pocket and the one he'd give to ali when its time to change in the right one and it worked at a first concert he shone again,then at next concert when it was ali's turn ali said "hey you are changeing whistles now?" to suggest he saw that his spells did not have usual effect
and as ali showed signs of taking things further on spiritual level him jimmy countered with prayers and 2 weeks of fasting and not taking baths only cleaning himself a big with lemon and protecting himself with salt
they had to go to lsc together since bcbg started to bring two instrumentists per position and titina prepared him jimmy to the possibility of him ending up not going but reassuring him that he will be at bercy tour,and during the preparation of bercy ali and him had to share room ali refused and he was put in same room as rio who run away quick because of what ali was doing in the room,and ali's room became the room where the weed smokers of the group would gather to smoke,then when they left ali would tell him to stay and ask him why he does witchcraft,because he was not understanding how his plan failed and he kept insisting
ali was trying to test him saying that he would like them both to be in bercy but that jimmy likes witchcraft too much and he insisted so much several times that he ended up to intimidate ali saying " ok yes i have big witchcraft if you continue i will eat you' which scared ali who already saw that his tricks were not working anymore so he found it true and he ran away and the same year in europe they meet in europe in studio marcadet ali back in maison mere and him with bcbg and ali saluted him and said a french proverb about how he fought him but he did not succeed
