Pusha T and Jim Jones have seemingly reignited their beef after the Virginia rapper debuted some unreleased bars that many think are aimed at the Dipset Capo.
A new Clipse track premiered at Pharrell’s first Louis Vuitton show in Paris on Tuesday (June 20) as Pusha and his brother No Malice walked the runway.
On the song, Pusha T appears to take shots at Jim Jones following his shade earlier this year.
“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,” Pusha raps, seemingly accusing Jones of cuddling up to his nemesis Drake in order to get a guest verse.
He continues: “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.”
Various big-name celebrities were also in attendance, with JAY-Z and Beyoncé nodding their heads in the front row. Check out the track below.
Shortly after, Jim Jones appeared to respond by posting a video of himself laughing on Instagram while referencing Pusha T’s My Name Is My Name album in the caption.
“Let me know if they serious cause my name is my name #Capo,” he wrote.
He added on his Instagram Stories: “Let me know when they really ready.”
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?
“Could you rap five [JAY-Z] verses if they came on? Could you rap five Drake verses if they came on? You lying because you work at radio. I’m just gonna say that because n-ggas gonna say Jim went way wildin.’”
He continued: “Shoutout to Pusha T, I love your soul. You my dawg. You not in my Top 50. You might be in Charlamagne’s Top 50 and things like that, but you haven’t done that much for me in my life.
“I never wanted to be like Pusha, I never had a Pusha moment in my life. Where I’m from, n-ggas wanted to be like you if you was really that dude as a rapper.”
You can tell from those comments on Breakfast Club that there’s jealousy and envy woven into this whole thing. I’d say Dipset is criminally underrated and had to scratch and claw for every dollar they made compared to some guys these days. So I can see there being a little resentment, but don’t go after one of the few dudes who’s keeping hip-hop lyrical.
Dipset didn’t claw for anything; Cam’ron did. Hell, the Dipset most of us saw in the 2000’s wasn’t even the original Harlem World Diplomats…
Damn
I ain’t even know that…
Dipset was never really all that good in the first place. They had 3 topics that they would repeat over and over and over again, and none of them were all that impressive as lyricists, which is why they couldn’t remain relevant.
You right. They were alright but nothing spectacular. They just came at the right time when the game needed that type of sound.
Nobody is talking about the dudes walking with purses on the runway. Subliminally feminising men for your subconscious. And jay z is there watching it? Thats some gay ass shit. The hell about this stupid beef. What is going on with hiphop?
Bro, we saw the 1st homophobic post, no need to post it twice.

If carrying a bag makes you want to change your sexuality then you got bigger problems my guy. You need therapy.

It was a fashion show what did you expect them to do, break dance?
Here me clearly when I say this: JIM JONES WAS NEVER HOT OR RELEVANT BY HIMSELF. Pusha T will walk circles around any Diplomat.
If you Google Jim Jones, you’ll only see a white cult leader. Out here camping for Drake and claiming to be “street” lol SNITCH ASS RAT
im no Jones stan but that Ballin song was him by his self and was a mega smash. and not to mention in the last decade as Cam and Juelz fell off, Jones put out some quality stuff on his own. i’m still riding with Pusha in this scenario but i dont sleep on Jones and what he’s done.
Max B would like to have a word with you…
From the perspective of who influenced hip hop fans with their music and style, the Clipse were overshadowed by Pharrell during their run. I thin there is both validity and insult to what Jim Jones said. Pusha would not be in my Top 50 but he def top 100.
On no planet is Pusha and Jones in the same convo comparing music. Jones crawled back to Jay, now he wanna be in OVO wit Drake…
The bars before the ones posted here give a clear indication of who Pusha T was talking to.
jim jones cried on TV over Chrissy #theend #juststop
And don’t he cried to Funk Flex about he and Cameron’s falling out
U never put ur literal life on the line for somebody n had them shit on u. Guess what, gangsters have feelings and experience pain and loss like any other human being. This whole “I walk around mean mugging all day long and never show emotion” thing is a fabrication for people playing a role. I’ll tell you what gangsters don’t do, comment on blog sites.
Jones posted his reply on Instagram….
2 40 yr olds arguing about bs. #4DACULTURE !!!!!
No disrespect to Capo, but he don’t want it with Push. There’s no world where Jimmy has the upper hand,
Man listen!! Jim Jones is NOT a rapper, he is a hype man caught up in his own hype. Those bars alone from Pusha are better than anything Jim Jones has ever written. BARS!!!
It’s only this site I’ve seen where Jim Jones has any sorta relevance whatsover. It’s gotta ge some kinda New Yorker stan thing with these users or something.
Jim Jones? More like Gym Jones! Every knows this guy smells like 10 haitians after a game full court basketball. RIP Knick fans. Cant believe you still betting on that team after Ewing missed that shot. Met starks at a local library reading children’s books. Im not a fan of cat in the hat or starks but i went away for the cookies and coffee. Hey why not? I get withdrawal symptoms just thinking about coffee. If only Gym Jones withdrew from showers, it could help cure the homeless problem and the smell in New York Shitty. Last time i gave a homeless man a sandwich, he rejected it because he didn’t like egg salad. That fucking guy. God bless his soul. I hope he gets to eat an italian sandwich with arugula and prosciutto every day in his life.
Battle between Pusha and Jimmy, Pusha wins.
However, Jimmy is on point with his comments. No way is Pusha T in the Top 50 for those exact reasons.
Lol. Like Jim Jones is influential?
Can you name 1 (forget 5) Jim Jones joints? Nah.
Would Jim Jones have a deal without the Diplomats? Nope.
Was he the weakest in the Diplomats? Yup.
Pusha is ageing like fine wine over here.
Go home old man, with your tired weasel-lookin’ ass. Try not to spend your Verzuz residuals on AliExpress lab diamonds cause your weak grandpa ass ain’t getting another album deal, son.
