The Bizarre Death of the "Peanut Butter Jelly Time" Singer

Despite a multitude of strange moments in this story, such as Jermaine Fuller inexplicably shooting a cop and taking two college students hostage, the story becomes especially absurd when Snoop Dogg gets involved. Apparently Snoop was Fuller's brother-in-law and was thought to be the only one who could defuse the situation. Did he succeed? Obviously not, given the title of the video. But hey, he tried his best.

For those curious DJ Chipman created the PBJ time song and he is very much still alive.
-
"I guess they were right when they said he was a one hit wonder" 💀💀💀
-
this whole situation sounds cartoony
-
He didn’t do hard time…he did peanut butter and jelly time
-
"Gumbo, Alabama" sound like a name from a city in a Cartoon
-
This is the funniest video with possibly the most depressing information.
-
The hardest thing for me to understand is how YouTube's algorithm hasn't put this channel into everyone's recommended videos.
-
4:18 "Jermain decided to turn to snoop in his darkest hour...like so many of us had.... the police decided to roll with it...." This is actually 5head script man bravo
-
im at the snoop part now, this cant be real, this cant be real
-
I was just thinking to myself, two days ago, "why haven't I seen anyone cover the peanut butter jelly time guy?", and here we are.
-
It blew my little child mind when they played the song on the original Proud Family series. The internet didn't crossover into regular television a whole lot back then so I was like "woah, they know about a popular thing" :p it's the simple things in life

i hate to bear bad news, but the youtuber wavywebsurf previously made a similar video on the topic, but he took it down after realizing he was mistaken in believing the singer was jermaine fuller, it is now believed that the singer was actually someone named dj chipman, and the widely accepted belief that jermaine was the singer of the song was been a widespread misconception. he has a detailed community post on his channel about it
-
DJ Chipman is the grandfather of my nieces and nephew and I have no idea how I've never heard this story
-
"May we all one day find our local theatre's rendition of Cats." I feel so blessed to be among the tragically few receivers of this man's words of wisdom. May his Cats be YouTube stardom!

Dude Gumbo sounds kinda cool for a seedy crime ridden city on the Bayou. “Don’t go getin lost in the gumbo now boah!”
-
How the shit is a story like this immortalized, its got old 2000s memes, snoop dog, and a hostage situation. Im just surprised i havent heard about it before
-
Wasn't expecting the Snoop Dogg connection but the fact he actually took the situation seriously and took hours out of his own time to help police talk a guy out if making an irreversible choice says a lot about the man and I respect him more. It's just sad things ended the way they did.
-
Literally every detail of this entire story is straight out of a Loony Tunes cartoon.
-
Dude, I grew up and LIVED in those apartments, I remember the hostage situation, and I NEVER knew it was the Peanut Butter Jelly guy!
-
But why did Jeroime do all that in the first place?
