Jim Jones has accused Swizz Beatz and Cam’ron of shady business practices over his and Dipset‘s Verzuz battle with The LOX.
Speaking on The Breakfast Club on Thursday (February 27), Jones claimed that a backdoor deal was done between Swizz, who co-founded Verzuz with Timbaland, and Cam to set up the iconic 2021 showdown.

“Swizz, holla at me. You backdoored me, gave that man some business that you ain’t give all of us,” he said, implying that himself and fellow Diplomat Juelz Santana were excluded from negotiations.
He added: “I need triple what I had last time, the way we put that Verzuz on fire. We had that thing looking like a championship game […] You definitely got to give me triple, Swizz, and you got to give me some real business this time.”

Capo continued to imply that there were some shady dealings behind the group’s battle with The LOX, saying: “That’s the funny thing about this game. Y’all don’t talk about the backdooring that’s going on for the Verzuz. We got the bag, but boys still went backdoor.”
He then revealed that he confronted Swizz Beatz about his grievances, with the Ruff Ryders producer apparently admitting fault and saying: “I did bad.”

Jones also took aim at Cam’ron over the alleged betrayal, saying: “He’ll say, ‘That’s me being a businessman.’ Nah, that’s you being a sucka doing backdoor shit. I stand on 10 toes and I break bread with my n-ggas […] I’m not one of them type of dudes.”
He also mocked the “Hey Ma” hitmaker for his performance during the battle: “He mad ’cause he got booed and we lost. Let’s tell the truth. He got booed at the end! He forgot his freestyle.”
Neither Swizz Beatz nor Cam’ron have yet responded to the allegations, but the former showed love to Jones’ new album At the Church Steps on social media after the interview aired.
Elsewhere in the conversation, Jim Jones challenged Killa Cam to a boxing match to settle their rekindled feud.
“He’s a birdhead. He don’t want no smoke. I’ll box his head off. Where’s the ring at?” he said. “You getting money, right? $10 million right now. Today, n-gga. I’ll catch a flight wherever you at. You with Mayweather and ’em. $10 million. I’ll meet you in any boxing ring.”
The Harlem native added: “Now go make some jokes about that on your next show. I’ll box your head off. You know that. Don’t play with me. Now go type about that.”
Capo’s mini rant was in response to Cam’s recent claim that he has a history of sending artists to jail instead of helping their careers, which Charlamagne Tha God brought up during the interview.

“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,” Killa said during a lengthy attack on Jones on his sports talk show It Is What It Is last month.
