Rapper Jim Jones is being hailed a hero for saving the life of his photographer friend Jerry Flete, who also goes by Flee Flicks.

On Sunday, Jan. 2, the Harlem native and his entourage were in Florida attending a cryptocurrency event for his "Capo Coin" when Jones' photographer appeared to have an apparent seizure, according to Inside Edition.

"We was just literally just hanging out on a break from work. Just hanging out. It just happened so fast. Basically, I woke up, Jim giving me chest compression and telling me, 'Wake up. Wake up.' He basically saved my life. I'm here today because of Jim," Flete told Inside Edition.

Jones was busy talking on his phone before turning around to see the cause of the commotion.

"I just saw Flee sitting, just going through something that didn't seem good, like he was choking. He couldn't breathe, and his eyes was going back in his head, and he was catching a bit of a seizure. I actually didn't know what was going on. Kind of scared me," Jones said, according to Inside Edition.

Surprisingly, Flete said he couldn't remember much of the incident, but recalled Jones giving him CPR when he regained consciousness.

"I didn't know what was going on at the moment. I guess everything happened so fast. But I had an out-of-body experience. I felt like I was telling myself to come back to myself. I guess when I snapped out of it, Jim was giving me chest compressions. The first person I woke up to was just Jim. He was holding me. I was sitting down. It happened while I was sitting down, so Jim was over me, hugging over me, I guess giving me chest compressions. That's how I started breathing," Flete explained.

Jones recalled the CPR techniques he learned when he was 12 years old to save his friend's life, The Source reports.

"When I was younger," Jones said, "I had to take these classes for CPR and all that type of things for my little sister who has a heart condition. They needed the whole family to take these special classes before she came home when she was a baby. I think all those classes stuck with me all the way to this day because I remember everything vividly they told me to do in certain situations. I got over there. I just was as frantic and confused as everybody else at first. And then something just jumped in me like, get to it. It gave him life again."

The near-death experience has inspired both Jones and Flete to take better care of their health.

"Health is wealth. … I encourage everybody to take care of themselves. Take care of you. Take it as if it's a job, and every day you should do something different that's going to help you live longer," the rapper said.

Flete said he is thankful that Jones stepped in and saved his life. However, Jones remains humble and said he doesn't consider himself a hero for saving his friend's life.
