Dipset isn’t what it used to be. The group, which used to remain tight-knit, seems to be separating of late. Recently, rumors flew due to an alleged beef between Jim Jones and Cam’Ron. Later, rumors claimed Jim Jones was signing with G-Unit. Jim Jones spoke on all of this and gave some insight as to how he feels about Cam’Ron.
When he and Fif were next to each other, some believed Jim was headed to The Unit.
“50 was hosting ‘Rap City’ and he wanted Jim Jones to be his guest…That was a good look for me, I needed that. I been in my house for a couple months, I ain’t been doing nothing. Why not come back out with the number one n—a in the whole entire music industry?” he told MTV.
He went on to note that it has nothing to do with record contracts. He noted that their relationship is one of mutual respect.
“People love the controversy, people like to hear more than what it is…They automatically think if I’m next to him, somebody with his power and money and what he represents, that he’s automatically trying to pull the wool over some body’s eyes and sign me. But we have a mutual respect and understanding for one another. I respect his hustle because he came in this game and in a few years changed the whole game and grossed more money than anybody else. With the hustle I’m on and the grind I’m on, it goes both ways. I went up to BET to chop it up with him,” he added.
That isn’t to say the two won’t work together.
“Who knows, in the future, you might see some Jimmy and 50 songs…Everybody else do it. I keep looking at the game and hear everybody beefing, but ain’t nobody die yet. I think it’s all a publicity stunt. I’mma go get my money because nobody wants beef. Where I’m from, you start beef when n—as start dying and the only person that died was my man Stack Bundles, God rest his soul. That was due to real circumstances we go through every day when you coming up on the streets. That’s a f—ed-up situation to even have to mention. The game is bullsh–, so I rather go get my money.”
So, how is the relationship between Cam and Jim?
“Finding Cam’s like finding Nemo…When you see him, tell him I’m looking for him. Smell me?” he said.
Jim Jones‘ next album should hit stores in March.
