Cam’ron isn’t convinced reconciliation with Jim Jones is in the cards.
During an appearance on the Roc Solid podcast, the Dipset rapper was asked if he’d ever be open to ending their feud. “Look, I always wish Jim the best,” Cam said around the 20-minute mark. “I hope he does well. He came a long way.”
He went on to reflect on their history: “This is my man who couldn’t rap that turned into my hype man that turned into an artist, directing videos. So his hustle is impeccable. We put out our first mixtape, 2001. The album came out in 2003. 2001 to, let’s say, we broke up 2007, 2008… a six, seven-year run. Our first reunion after we broke up was in 2010. If we can’t get it together now…”
Cam’ron thinks too much time — and too many diss records — may have buried any chance of a real reunion with Jim Jones.
“The reunions and arguments and fighting, it’s been 15 years,” Cam explained. “The run was only seven years. We got 15 years of disputes longer than the run. I’m never going to say never. But at the end of the day, the disputes, it’s 15 years old, and the run was seven years old. I don’t know if it can ever go right, you know? He got records dissing me earlier this year. I don’t really pay it no mind, people send it to me. But he put a song out called ‘Frienemies’ in [2009]. 17 years of diss records towards me. I don’t give a fuck.”
Their beef traces back to when Jones hit the stage with 50 Cent in New York while Cam was locked in a public feud with him. Cam later explained on his Talk With Flee YouTube show that Dipset already had internal issues, and Jones performing with Fif felt like a “checkmate moment.”
Jones clapped back not long after on Justin Laboy’s Respectfully podcast, firing off: “Them n***as be on my dick. Them n***as ain’t got nothing else to think about but Capo. I did a lot for them ni**as in their life, ya heard? Both of them. Pause, though. Get off my dick! It’s only space on there for baby girl. Come on, man. Tugging on my shit like that.”
Cam returned the fire on It Is What It Is, calling out Jones’ Harlem claims and saying he was really from the Bronx. “You’re a Guardian Angel in designer, ni**a…You are from the Bronx, bro. You are not from Harlem,” he said, before recalling how Jones first approached him years earlier.
And earlier this year, Jones made his stance clear in an interview with Ebro Darden on Apple Music’s Rap Life Radio: “The brotherhood been over.”
