Jim Jones has taken his beef with Pusha T to the next level by taking shots at the latter’s brother on a new diss track.
On Saturday (June 23), a clip of the Dipset rapper firing back at Push surfaced online. It comes after the beef between the MCs was recently reignited following the premiere of a Clipse song earlier this week that took aim at Jones.

Though some of the new clip’s audio is most unintelligible because of Capo rapping over a recording as he’s being filmed on the street, he does make reference to Pusha’s corporate rival, McDonald’s, and even suggests that he sells crack to his older sibling and Clipse groupmate No Malice.
“That last shit you dropped, that shit was garbage, take that shit back/Plus you got your brother up, what you tryna bring The Clipse back?/ Talking about your brother, what happened to that boy?/ It’s looking like you were selling crack to that boy,” he spits.

On Thursday (June 22), the “We Fly High” rapper took to Instagram to respond to the Clipse song that made its debut at Pharrell’s first Louis Vuitton show as creative director in Paris two days prior.
“That was not a Top 50 verse, Not at all. Still not in my Top 5,” Jones said in the social media post. He added in the caption: “Lol [that] verse did not make [the] list champ it was cute.”

On the track, Pusha T seemingly accuses Jones of cuddling up to his nemesis, Drake, in order to get a guest verse: “Beware of my name, that there’s delegate/ You know I know where you’re delicate/ Crush you to pieces, I’ll hum a breath of it/ I will close your heaven for the hell of it/ You think it’d be valor amongst veterans/ I’m watching your fame escape relevance/ We all in a room but here’s the elephant/ You chasing a feature out of your element.”
He then adds: “And those lab diamonds under inspection/ The question marks block your blessings/ It’s no tombstones in the desert/ I know by now you get the message.”
The apparent friction between the two likely started when Jim Jones questioned Pusha T’s position at No. 29 on Billboard‘s Top 50 Greatest Rapper of All Time list in April.
“What has he done that puts him in the greatest rappers of all time besides talk about coke that he probably didn’t get himself?” he said on The RapCaviar Podcast at the time. “He’s nice as shit. He could rap his ass off, but what has he done?

“Nobody has dressed like him. Nobody wants to be like Pusha T. I don’t remember nothing. And let’s not be evil, but we don’t talk about rap where the n-gga that’s popping the bitches wanna fuck and the n-ggas wanna be like.”
He added: “I don’t know too many n-ggas in this game that was leaning towards being like Pusha T. Pusha T don’t hold no weight out here. He not pushing no shit out here.”

Jim Jones then doubled down on his comments on The Breakfast Club, claiming people don’t know enough Pusha T songs to make a Top 5.
“Could you name five Pusha T records?” he asked Charlamagne Tha God. “Could you name five Pusha T records? No. Could you rap to five Pusha T records?”
