Ma$e is speaking out amid the ongoing feud between Cam’ron and Jim Jones, revealing he has attempted to get the pair to sit down and hash things out – but he has yet to succeed.
Calling in to media personality M. Reck on Monday (January 13), Murda explained why he was eating popcorn in the background as Cam went off on Jimmy in a new clip, and also broke down why he is really trying to get the two Dipset rappers to patch things up.

“I think the real issue is that everybody just jumps the gun,” he began. “People talk without having the information correctly. Me being the person that I am, I can say that none of this would have happened if they would’ve just spoke. And my reason for eating popcorn is because if I try to get y’all together and y’all don’t wanna talk to each other, there’s nothing for me to say.
“So you gotta understand, a person like me, it is in my power to get everybody together, it is in my power to at least make the attempt. But you can’t make people talk. I try to do what I think somebody should’ve did for me when I wasn’t present – put us all together and say, ‘Yo, y’all need to work this out because we’re embarrassing ourselves.’ That’s how I personally feel, so all I could do is just sit there. I can’t scream at him. I can’t scream at this person.”

He concluded: “At the end of the day, Cam is my brother and I want the best for Jim and Cam. It don’t look good and it ain’t right. And I wish somebody would have did this for me 30 years ago. So I can say Ma$e did reach out and try to put everybody together, but it’s hard to put people together when I’m still getting attacked and I’m trying to put y’all together because I know the bigger picture. But that’s it, all love!”
Cam’ron began season six of his and Ma$e’s sports talk show It Is What It Is by addressing recent comments made by Jim Jones in an interview with Justin LaBoy.
In it, Jones revealed why he has longstanding issues with Ma$e — and it’s all do with how he used to treat Cam. He also said he grew up with Cam and that he watched Ma$e “shit on Cam” after he got signed to Diddy‘s Bad Boy Records, which Cam disputed in the new episode.
“You’re a Guardian Angel in designer, n-gga. You are from the Bronx, bro. You are not from Harlem. I did not grow up with you, my n-gga,” Cam snapped.

Killa then claimed that they only became cool after Jim tried to start a friendship with him following the success of his early freestyles and mixtapes with his Children of the Corn cohorts Ma$e, Big L and his cousin Bloodshed (several of which he played during the episode).
“You wasn’t there, n-gga! We were super-duper popping in the street. Everybody knew we were about to get a record deal,” he said.
“Basically, you heard our freestyles and you came up to me one day and you said, ‘Yo man, I heard the freestyles. Y’all killing shit. My grandmother died if y’all wanna come by and just hang out, y’all more than welcome.’”
He added: “You were fanned out and you begged n-ggas to come to your house after you heard all these mixtapes. That’s how you got in, n-gga.”

The Harlem native concluded his diatribe on a more somber tone, accusing Jim Jones of exploiting his friends and artists instead of helping them escape the streets.
Jim Jones has yet to respond.
