In an new interview withGQ magazine, he says: “[Bono]’s a great guy. I stay at his castle in Dublin, because Ireland and Scotland are so racist it’s frightening."
The iconic musician, who also goes under the name Q, did not elaborate on why he believes Ireland is "so racist it’s frightening".
The 84-year-old also claimed in the new interview that he has over 20 girlfriends.
He said: "I got 22 girlfriends...Hell yeah. Everywhere. Cape Town. Cairo. Stockholm - she's coming in next week. Brazil -Belo Horizonte, São Paulo, and Rio. Shanghai - got a great girl over there from Shanghai, man. Cairo, whew."
He also spoke about meeting Pope John Paul II back in 1999.
“All the guys in the Vatican had these Vatican black shoes,” Jones recalls, but not the Pope," he recalled “He had on some burgundy wingtips, man, with thin tan rib socks, man.
“We had to go and kiss his hand before we left. And when I kissed his hand, I looked down and saw those shoes and it just fell out of my mouth.
“I said, ‘Oh, my man’s got some pimp shoes on.’ And he heard me.”
When the interviewer asked if such an observation wasn't "Sacrilegious", he replied: “Oh, hell no. He’s just a man. I didn’t tell him… Yeah [he heard me]. When he died, I grabbed USA Today, and Bono said, ‘Quincy said he had some lovely loafers on."
