Cam'ron Goes Off On Jim Jones In Lengthy Rant: 'You Are Not From Harlem!'

Cam’ron has launched into a lengthy and explosive tirade against Jim Jones as tension between the former Diplomats continues to simmer.

Killa Cam began season six of his and Ma$e‘s sports talk show It Is What It Is by addressing recent comments made by Capo in an interview with Justin Laboy.

The rapper-turned-media personality disputed Jones’ claim that they grew up together and that he watched Ma$e “shit on Cam” after he got signed to Diddy‘s Bad Boy Records.

“You’re a Guardian Angel in designer, n-gga. You are from the Bronx, bro. You are not from Harlem. I did not grow up with you, my n-gga,” Cam snapped.

Killa then claimed that they only became cool after Jim tried to start a friendship with him following the success of his early freestyles and mixtapes with his Children of the Corn cohorts Ma$e, Big L and his cousin Bloodshed (several of which he played during the episode).

“You wasn’t there, n-gga! We were super-duper popping in the street. Everybody knew we were about to get a record deal,” he said.

“Basically, you heard our freestyles and you came up to me one day and you said, ‘Yo man, I heard the freestyles. Y’all killing shit. My grandmother died if y’all wanna come by and just hang out, y’all more than welcome.'”

He added: “You were fanned out and you begged n-ggas to come to your house after you heard all these mixtapes. That’s how you got in, n-gga.”

Cam’ron later reminded Jim Jones that Ma$e taught him how to rap, playing several clips of the rapper admitting as such.

“We taught you how to rap, n-gga. How you ran the whole organization? How you made Diplomats?” he asked rhetorically. “N-gga, you ain’t made none of this! You were a fan. I put you down ’cause you had a free crib and you were a nice guy.”

The “Hey Ma” hitmaker also took issue with Jones accusing him and 50 Cent of “dickriding” by revisiting his controversial performance with the G-Unit boss in 2007 (which Cam perceived as an act of betrayal) in a recent interview together.

“I didn’t think it would be a big deal because you make up with every n-gga that put hands on you,” Killa sneered. “I see you with C-Gutta from Junior M.A.F.I.A. I see you taking pictures with Tru Life. Mendeecees, y’all having sit-downs. Gunshots were let off with that! Y’all having sit-downs to work it out.

“You tried to chase French Montana out the game and that didn’t work out, so y’all got cool. So cool that you go to his movie [premiere]. You’re sitting in the crowd watching the premiere and they dissing you in the movie!

“Ever wonder how he met Maino? Maino gonna downplay it ’cause they cool now. He tried to press Maino ’cause Maino first came out with a little record where he said a n-gga’s name.

“So Jim went to see Maino one day and was like, ‘Yo, wassup with all that saying my name?’ Maino said, ‘Who the fuck you talking to?! Oh, you think I’m one of them n-ggas? You out your muthafucking mind!’ Now they’re the Lobby Boyz.

“Every n-gga that do something to put pressure on you, you sit there and work it out. But when n-ggas got genuine heart for you and don’t put hands on you, then you can keep going on and on. That’s the pattern.”

Cam’ron further jabbed his former groupmate by rubbishing his suggestion that he’s responsible for Dipset‘s success (“If people choose to believe that, then I got a bridge in Brooklyn I can sell you”) and recalling the time he allegedly ran away from the Black Mafia Family.

“Do you ever hear me talk about when you ran on me when BMF pulled up?” he said. “They chased you to the beach! You was in the sand. You was getting wet in the water from the ocean. Me and [my friend] JoJo were laughing at that for months. I don’t pump all that shit ’cause I’m not trying to degrade your character.”

The Harlem native concluded his diatribe on a more somber tone, accusing Jim Jones of exploiting his friends and artists instead of helping them escape the streets.

“Stop tricking n-ggas out of their freedom, bro. ‘Cause n-ggas get around you to put theirselves in better situations, not to be in worst situations than before they met you. You send them on dummy missions and trick them out of their freedom,” he said.

“Max [B] is doing 75, I know you don’t give a fuck. Jha Jha just wanted to be a rapper, Jha Jha got 10 years. We don’t know where Jeter at. Stro is missing, I don’t know what the fuck happened to Stro. Slicey, 12 years. His godson who was 13 years old, eight years. Shotty, he was trying to [be a rapper], 12 years.

“And I know you love Mel [Matrix] ’cause I love Mel, that’s my brother. But you said when he comes home he’s gonna be the triple OG. Give that man a job, n-gga! Make sure he gets six digits a year. That’s what it’s really about.”

He added: “This is going to be the last time I address this […] I’m not doing this every seven, eight, nine, 10 years. Whatever you got to say after this, I wish you luck. I got other shit to do.”

Jim Jones has yet to respond.
