NYC Mayor Eric Adam’s rapper son spent 9/11 recording music in Gracie Mansion
Bereaved families, local and national dignitaries and first responders gathered in lower Manhattan last week to mark the 23rd anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, but Hizzoner’s son had different plans.
Standing in a room drenched in red and blue lighting, Jordan Coleman, the 29-year-old son of Eric Adams who released his debut rap album last year under the moniker, Jayoo, commemorated the day by recording music inside Gracie Mansion.
Coleman’s music features drill rap, a hip-hop subgenre that Adams has publicly denounced for its association with street violence, as its lyrics often center around gangs.
“Real Session,” Coleman captioned the picture of himself with an emoticon of the Statue of Liberty followed by “9/11.”
The mayor’s son later attended rapper Jeezy’s concert with the radio host “Ogee Money,” according to an Instagram post made by “The Push Effect on Taste Radio 1” host.
The radio personality described the night as an “All Access” show he took Coleman along to after “the 9/11 sessions at Gracie.”
In one video in the post, Coleman can be seen arriving at the Jeezy concert in a black vehicle with tinted windows.
While Coleman recorded music, his father — who had COVID-19 — himself did not attend the annual ceremony that marks the worst terror attacks in US history.
Adams instead hung a wreath outside Gracie Mansion that day in honor of lives lost.
His absence was among several conspicuous no-shows from people within his administration who have recently been named in federal investigations.
The meager showing by New York City officials drew disbelief among political insiders sources told The Post at the time.
President Joe Biden, former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris were all in attendance and — in a remarkable tableau — stood together at Ground Zero just hours after Trump and Harris faced off in their first-ever debate.
Trump and Biden shook hands while former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg appeared to facilitate a handshake between Harris and Trump.
The campaign rivals then stood only a few feet apart, with Biden and Bloomberg between them. Trump’s running mate JD Vance stood on his other side.
