On 4 November 2009, Chamillionaire launched the Global Innovation Tournament 2009 with Jones at Stanford University as part of the Stanford Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders Seminar Series.
In 2011, Jones co-founded the health and wellness lifestyle company Feel Rich, Inc. with partner Shawn Ullman, which aimed at promoting "health as the new wealth" to urban communities.[4] Along with QD3's father, Grammy winning producer Quincy Jones, they produced a documentary film, Feel Rich:Health is the New Wealth, that featured celebrities, hip hop icons, and medical and health professionals discussing wellness in the urban community.[5]
In January 2014, Jones founded WeMash, an Internet service that connects owners of content (movie studios, news organizations, sports entities, music labels/publishers) with creators from every field (video artists, filmmakers, musicians, and more) to reimagine content beyond its original context. Investors include venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz.[6]
Jones was a jury member of Swedish Idol 2016.
Lil Wayne lawsuit
On November 6, 2012, Jones was awarded $2.2mn in a lawsuit against rapper Lil Wayne, over Jones' biopic "The Carter".[7] The pair sued each other over the film, with Wayne's original lawsuit — which was thrown out — claimed Jones' documentary was a "scandalous portrayal" of Wayne and his work.[8] Jones' eventually successful suit — in large part due to the judge's interpretation of Wayne's deposition tape — alleged Wayne's claims hurt the reputation and sales of the film.
