Jim Jones isn’t sitting back quietly after Cam’ron and Ma$e’s recent jabs.
On Tuesday, Jones dropped a teaser on Instagram, hinting at a new track that directly responds to comments made by the Harlem duo in their show ‘It Is What It Is’. Just a day prior, Cam’ron had taken a shot at Jones for admitting that Ma$e taught him to rap. Cam even went as far as to say, “We taught you how to rap, n-gga. You were a fan,” suggesting that Jones wasn’t instrumental in the creation of the Diplomats.
Jones is turning this into a promotional moment, posting a clip of his response track with the caption, “I said wht I said after they laugh at th lies th truth still hurts…”. This teaser is not just about setting the record straight; it’s also a way to keep himself in the public eye as he prepares for his new album and movie, ‘At the Church Steps’.
The lyrics of the track are biting. Jones counters Cam’ron’s claims by spotlighting his incarcerated friends, saying, “All my n-ggas do they time, you know my team body.” He references named individuals, showing loyalty to his group despite the circumstances. The track also emphasizes pride in his achievements, noting, “Youn-ggas taught me how to rap, and now I’m platinum.”
50 Cent, never one to miss a controversy, chimed in as well. He shared a video of Cam’ron’s critique, advising Jim to “holla at Cam privately.” The social media back-and-forth has fans buzzing, eagerly watching this unfolding saga.
Meanwhile, Ma$e, with a bag of popcorn in hand, seemed to enjoy the whole episode. His co-host role on the show added another layer to the drama, as he sat back watching the verbal jousting between former friends.
In the world of hip-hop, this beef adds another chapter to an already storied rivalry. With Jim Jones’s new track, the tension between these artists continues to simmer, drawing fans deeper into the narrative. How it unfolds from here is anyone’s guess.
