Jim Jones took a bold stand by performing a track aimed at Cam’ron, right where emotions run deep—in front of a Harlem mural dedicated to Bloodshed.

In the early hours of a Saturday morning, Jim Jones shared a live Instagram video that captured him rapping his response track on East 110th Street. This setting was significant for him, as the mural he stood before honored Derek “Bloodshed” Armstead. Bloodshed held a special place in Harlem’s hip-hop history as a member of the Children of the Corn alongside Cam’ron and others. Tragically, Bloodshed passed away in a car accident in 1997.

Jones has a deep connection with Bloodshed, having known him since high school. He fondly remembered paying Bloodshed to do freestyles back in the day, demonstrating the bond they shared. However, this performance was more than a tribute; it was a musical response to Cam’ron.

The conflict stems from a segment on Cam’s show, ‘It Is What It Is’, where Cam’ron mocked Jim Jones for acknowledging that Ma$e taught him how to rap. In a striking line, Jones retorts, “You kinda taught me how to rap, and now I’m platinum.” This lyric underscores his success despite criticisms.

Further fueling the tension, Cam’ron questioned Jones’s ties to Harlem, suggesting he’s more Bronx than Harlem. Jones didn’t take this lightly, teasing a remix of “This Sh!t Still In Harlem” featuring several Harlem rappers, asserting his Harlem pride.

Jim Jones plans to release the song, titled “JOMO (Jump Off My Ayoo),” soon. This track directly addresses Cam’ron’s claims, as Jones raps, “Is he a Bronx, is he a Harlem n-gga?”

This feud isn’t just about music; it hits at personal histories and regional pride. As the anticipation builds for the track’s official release, fans are eager to hear Jones’s complete lyrical rebuttal.

The release of “JOMO (Jump Off My Ayoo)” promises to add another chapter to Jim Jones and Cam’ron’s storied relationship. While the mural of Bloodshed stands as a reminder of shared history and loss, the lyrics reflect a present-day clash between two iconic personalities.
