Jim Jones has hit back at 50 Cent and Cam’ron after they revisited his controversial performance with the G-Unit boss at the height of Dipset‘s internal friction.
Appearing on Justin Laboy’s Respectfully podcast, the Harlem rapper was asked about the pair’s recent interview where they discussed 50 (who was beefing with Cam at the time) bringing Jim out on stage at a New York City show in 2007, which his fellow Diplomat took as an act of betrayal.

“Them n-ggas be on my dick,” Capo responded. “Them n-ggas ain’t got nothing else to think about but Capo. I did a lot for them n-ggas in their life, ya heard? Both of them. Pause, though. Get off my dick! It’s only space on there for baby girl. Come on, man. Tugging on my shit like that.”
Jones also took issue with Cam’ron saying that he was hoping to resolve Dipet’s problems before the concert, implying that he was to blame for the group disbanding.

“That n-gga couldn’t pull nothing together. He couldn’t do nothing with me. He couldn’t tell me nothing, n-gga,” he snapped. “Let’s not get this shit twisted. Nobody could tell me nothing. I was my own boss […] I did what I wanted to do.
“I seen the shit wasn’t going right so I started doing what Jim Jones needed to do for Jim Jones ’cause the n-gga that was supposed to be the don wasn’t taking care of the Capo. It started feeling like the Gotti movie, ya heard?”

The “We Fly High” hitmaker further defended his decision to join 50 Cent on stage by saying: “I heard what [50] said, ‘Koch was a graveyard’ and all that type of shit. I didn’t give a fuck about none of that.
“They called me like, ‘Yo, you wanna come out and perform at the show?’ [I replied,] ‘Shit yeah! I got the hottest record, I’m popping out.’ […] I wasn’t on nobody’s friendship. I was a pirate.”

He then joked: “Them n-ggas [in G-Unit] couldn’t even dress, but he had a platform for me to perform on in front of thousands of people in New York. Yeah, I’m taking that.”
The podcast also saw Jim Jones delve into his past issues with Cam’ron, who he claimed was trying to stifle his success, and criticize his longtime collaborator’s since-squashed beef with 50 Cent.
“When Cam called the station over the Koch shit, I felt that was childish,” he said, referring to Killa and 50’s infamous on-air argument on Hot 97 in early 2007. “You didn’t come outside when it’s time to really get active so how dare you do some weak shit like that.
“You started going crazy over Koch, over a white man that had been jerking us since we got signed there, and whatever backdoor deals you had with them served you more than it served me. So when that shit went on, I was like, ‘That was kinda weak, that was corny.'”

During their aforementioned interview, Cam’ron admitted that 50 Cent inviting Jim Jones to his NYC show was “smart” and “devious,” calling it “a checkmate moment” in their feud.
50, for his part, claimed that it was a shot in the dark — but one that was nevertheless designed to cause discord in Dipset.
“I just took the shot ’cause I wasn’t sure [Jim Jones] was going to go for it. I was like, ‘We like Jimmy better than you anyway, Cam!’” he said in a comical voice, prompting the room to erupt in laughter.
Narrowing his eyes as if gauging somebody’s reaction, Fid continued: “You gotta watch and see how he responds. And then you see, ‘Aw shit, he really likes that!’ Tell him, ‘We want you at the show, Jim!’

“That was one of those things where I just threw it out and see what would happen. And he bit.”
