Jim Jones has come out and defended Drake suing his longtime record label, Universal Music Group, for defamation over Kendrick Lamar‘s diss song “Not Like Us.”
Appearing on the Broke N’ Frontin podcast, the “We Fly High” rapper offered his thoughts on Drizzy’s bombshell lawsuit, which has been widely criticized within the Hip Hop community.
Capo shielded the 6 God from the backlash by pointing out that he isn’t suing Kendrick directly and arguing that he has a right to seek a huge payday from a company that has a history of allegedly exploiting artists.
“He’s not snitching on nobody. He’s not in a court of law, he’s not personally suing Kendrick Lamar, which everybody seems to think that this lawsuit is about,” he said. “He’s suing UMG, which is the biggest company that has the biggest bag, n-gga.”
Jones did accept that if Drake was directly suing Kendrick then there should be “uproar,” but went on to compare the case to Tracy Morgan taking Walmart to court after being hit by one of the grocery chain’s trucks.
“When Tracy Morgan caught that bag, we were happy for him. So how the fuck we not gonna be happy about somebody getting a bag from one of the biggest companies that’s been raping everybody anyway?” he asked.
The Dipset rapper continued by saying: “This ain’t got nothing do with [a] rap battle. The song is out! Whatever the people’s perception of him winning or losing is, it’s done. He said, ‘That’s how y’all feel? Cool.’
“Y’all associating muthafucking brussell sprouts with apples. It’s two totally different things […] If it was any other thing, I would call a red flag. But this has got no reflection of the street or rap culture.”
He also compared Drake to a particular fictional action hero: “This is a dangerous thing he’s doing. This is some James Bond shit he’s doing.”
While Jim Jones is supportive of Drake’s lawsuit, others such as Joe Budden are not.
During a recent episode of his eponymous podcast, the former Slaughterhouse rapper ripped Drizzy over the legal action and claimed that he is ruining Hip Hop.
“You know how you running around with and you know what you doing and you know what you threatenin,” he said, referring to Drake’s “Mob Ties” persona and association with accused killer Top5, who has threatened to shoot Kendrick Lamar.
“So if you that, then be that. But don’t be that and also Karen out […] I don’t like it. It’s nasty and disgusting.”
Budden added: “This shit is a fucking mess. It’s disgusting. And if you love this shit, it hurts! I’m saddened as a diss track king, as a n-gga who loves to get on the mic and tell lies about my opponent.
“Horrible things get said [in rap beefs], man. I just don’t like the Karen play-both-sides, the aggressor and the victim.”
He’s a fan.
More like he’s a Dan (Dirty Ass N****)Dirty Ass N****, Youz a filthy ass clown, Dirty Ass N****, Youz a filthy ass clown, Spray, Spray, Spray, Spray, Go hose him down, Spray, Spray, Spray, Spray, Go hose him down.
Thats fire!
Shut up he’s a legend you know nothing about real rap! Dipsets
That’s it. His BO is frying his 🧠. It’s time to 🚿🛁🧼🫧💧
Call the Cops when you see K dot
Lawsuits dropped when I hear K.Dot
Drake is just looking for a money grab advance so he can keep paying off women from filing their own lawsuits.
Drakes a Rat no acceptions this is literally a karen type move by going to the manager umg is whag funds most artists so thats equvialent to snitching to the manager over your feelins gettin hurt by a mutual business employee
Not snitching. Just trying to censor another rapper that fried him in a battle. Drake has a history of dissing people, just because he doesn’t have the balls to do it directly most of the time is irrelevant. He’s a hypocrite. What’s funny is that he’s murdering his own credibility even worse than Kendrick did.
See Jim Jones still repping that B.O’block🦨➕👃🏿🟰😩
Jones looks grimey as hell
What do yall even be talking about? it has nothing to do with kendricks song but what the record company did behind the scenes. They been jostling artists for the longest. His bag just secure enough to take them to court and legit if he wins it benefits all artist including k dot. This is more along the lines of taking hip hop back from corporate masters than anything else. this ain’t drake vs k dot, this is hip hop vs corporate america.

It’s also gay. Incredibly gay…
It’s really hard to like Jimmy rn lol he on some dumb shit.. Drake def a clown
He’s not snitching tho? Yuppies don’t know what that word means it’s shocking because at one point everyone knew what it meant. Yuppies isn’t exclusive to whites all you suburban people are so stupid the preppy ones. Do disrespect to the NOLA or grimey places like that I know you guys a real but these wannabe hood people know nothing. I agree Drake is a clown but he has all right to sue and expose the rest of the vulture net that’s what this lawsuit does and the vultures don’t like it that includes the influencers online and industry plants like Kai Cenat who’s a clone of Diddy.
