Jim Jones is ready to settle his ongoing feud with Cam’ron and in the most the old-school way: inside a boxing ring.
The Dipset vet made an appearance on The Breakfast Club on Thursday (Feb. 27), where he was pressed about his rekindled rift with his former fellow Dipset brethren. While Jones largely brushed off their tension, reaffirming that Cam’ron is his “brother” for life, one remark in particular struck a nerve.
“You don’t get no credit for [jumpstarting careers],” Charlamagne Tha God began. “They say all Jim do is send people to jail.” The latter claim referenced Cam’s remark about Jimmy on his It Is What It Is podcast with Ma$e. In response, the “Ballin” rapper fired back, “How I send people to jail? How?! What are these ni**as smoking? They smoking new drugs out here!”
Capo’s frustration boiled over even more, adding, “He’s a birdhead. He don’t want no smoke. I’ll box his head off. Where’s the ring at? You getting money, right? $10,000,000 right now. Today, ni**a. I’ll catch a flight wherever you at. You with Mayweather and ’em. $10,000,000. I’ll meet you in any boxing ring. Now go make some jokes about that on your next show. I’ll box your head off. You know that. Don’t play with me. Now go type about that.”
The latest chapter in Jim and Cam’s estranged relationship began last month when Cam’ron revisited Dipset’s infamous split in an interview with 50 Cent.
Jones, still stung by the discussion, took aim at both men during an appearance on Justin Laboy’s Respectfully podcast. “Them ni**as be on my d*ck,” he snapped. “Them ni**as ain’t got nothing else to think about but Capo. I did a lot for them ni**as in their life, ya heard? Both of them. Pause, though. Get off my d*ck!”
That set off an explosive response from Cam on It Is What It Is, where he didn’t hold back. Not only did he question Jones’ Harlem credibility, but he also accused him of leading people into trouble rather than helping them succeed. “Stop tricking ni**as out of their freedom, bro. ‘Cause ni**as get around you to put theirselves in better situations, not to be in worse situations than before they met you,” he claimed. “You send them on dummy missions and trick them out of their freedom.”
Jones, refusing to let the back-and-forth go unanswered, took the feud to wax. Last month, he dropped the track “Jomo” — a direct response to Cam — which appears on his latest album At the Church Steps. The project was released today (Feb. 28).
“Ni**a I been going to the Tunnel since you saw Belly (Ask about me)/ I done been through the most (Uh huh)/ Ni**as talking about we fake bloods, I had to spin for the coast (Wacko!),” he raps on the track. “Sh*t, that was 20 years ago, I was just slim with the toast/ Ni**as talking about they outside but they put everything on the post, no (Caption that!)”
Elsewhere, Jim doubles down that Ma$e taught him how to rap. “So what more you want to ask him? (Ask me)/ You ni**as taught me how to rap and I went platinum (Stupid!)/ They didn’t think that I would start to rap and I would lap them (Aah!)/ Everybody know that for Diplomats I was the captain (Capo!)”
