Jim Jones has admitted that he was surprised by the amount of backlash he received for saying he was a better and more successful rapper than Nas.
Speaking to Angie Martinez for her IRL podcast, the controversial former Dipset member was asked if he had been trolling with his comments.
Jones replied: “I mean you’re definitely correct. But I didn’t start it. There was a young gentleman that they asked a question to and his clip went viral. He was on a podcast and they asked him who’s more relevant: Jim Jones or Nas? That went super viral and that led to all these people with platforms to ask that question.”
He added: “I gave people a prerequisite. I know how to go viral, this is easy. We’re in a community where everything goes viral… and turns into a revenue stream. I’m on everybody’s Explore page, I’m at the top of this page, the top of that page. You like me, don’t like me, know who I was… one click away from making me some money. I also have a record label, I have artists, I have music out. It makes it that much easier to know who Jim Jones is. I’m worried about myself when I make these moves. I know how to turn my negatives into a positive.”
Jones then addressed the Nas comparisons directly: “Man, I didn’t know how many people loved Nas, though. I’m watching people go absolutely batshit crazy, like goddamn. But that’s hip-hop. There’s people that I adored as a fan too that I’ll probably go batshit crazy for in the same situation, I love it, that’s what the game was built on. Let’s not make no mistake, I put in a lot of work and I did a lot of incredible things that a lot of people have not gotten to do in this industry.”
Last month, Jones said of Nas: “Check my track record, then check everybody else track record. Then go to Billboard and check all my entries then check all them n-ggas entries. I been spanking a lot of this shit. Pull up Nas’ Billboard entries, then pull up my Billboard entries.”
Nas is still yet to reply to Jones’ comments.
Jim Jones has smoked his brain from smelling himself too much. Please take a 🚿 for Christ sakes
Smelly bastard needs to hit the showers…
The last line of the article is powerful lol
“Nas is still yet to reply to Jones’ comments.”
Dude said, Nas replied with a casino.
I didn’t even know who he was until love and hip hop. But I have known about Nas without the hype.
Nas I the pinnacle. This is why when rappers wanna say how relevant they are, they invoke Nas’s name!
It’s disrespectful to Nas for Jim ‘Delullu’ Jones to have his name in the same sentence as Nas for ANY REASON!! Stop playing yo..
Ya smell me
Jim didnt know how many people loved Nas? This guy is tripping. Nas a legend! A status Jim will never have. Sit down.
He is trying to make some money off. That’s all it is now who any better to go at one of the greatest rappers of all time he’s no in his mind that he’s not better than ours. He tried with Styles P. He’s not better than Cameron I mean, come on bro let’s kid serious but it’s all about money like he said when he streams, he make money only that one guy and him think he’s better than ours. I don’t think he even believed that and if he do, he’s very delusional he can he shouldn’t even be in the same room as Nas or even talk
Every time he walks in a room it smells like 💩 for days afterwards.
💧, 🚿,🛁,🫧, and 🧼…these are the things that he fears the most.
Nas is on that plateau of “greatest rappers of all time” along with 2pac and Biggie.
“Jim Jones” is a talentless nobody trying to get attention and streams.
Hope Nas just ignores this one.
He can’t ignore that smell tho. Nas please give Jim Jones some Mass Appeal by showering him with love and Ajax.
