Cam’ron has hit back at Jim Jones’ accusation that he “backdoored” him while negotiating Dipset’s Verzuz battle with The LOX in 2021.
On Instagram this past Sunday (March 2), the Harlem rap icon denied his former Dipset groupmate’s claim, posting a screenshot of what appears to be a text conversation between the two in the lead-up to the iconic event.
In the exchange, Jones told Cam’ron he was not looking to be paid for the Verzuz, which took place at Madison Square Garden in New York City, viewing it as a “bucket list” event that he believed would open doors to future business opportunities.
He even mentioned that he was ready to give up his share of the earnings to Cam’ron in order to make the battle happen.
“Really I just wanna touch [that] stage in a big way and if I have to take a loss to make a gain I’m willin to,” Jones wrote.
Killa responded: “It’s not about the money for me bro. It’s about n-ggas keep getting more paper [off] us [than] we get [off] us. (Supreme etc).”
He also referred to Swizz Beatz and Timbaland’s sale of Verzuz to Triller Network in 2021, which ended in controversy, saying: “[I’m] tryna get back for what they did to the cold crush lol.”
Cam’ron countered Jones’ accusations on Instagram, stating: “I don’t pay half the shit n-ggas say no mind. But you know I keep the files. You wanted to do versus for free n-gga. So if you made a dollar be happy.”
He added, “Talking bout it was on ya bucket list [face with rolling eyes emoji].. stop tryna re-write history. Now u got a loss in the garden and the Barclays [laughing face emojis].”
Cam’ron also took jabs at Jones’ crew, claiming, “And ya n-ggas ain’t eating unless they came with they own bread. The boy @sugadugga_ent got more money than you. And let’s bet 10M’s on that. Go get handsome a car a crib in jersey something [facepalm emoji] I’m done..FO NOW.”
Jim Jones recently aired his frustrations about Cam’ron and the handling of Dipset’s Verzuz battle during an appearance on The Breakfast Club last week.
“Swizz, holla at me. You backdoored me, gave that man some business that you ain’t give all of us,” he said, suggesting that he and fellow Diplomat Juelz Santana were left out of the negotiation process.
“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.”
Jones also claimed that he confronted Swizz Beatz over his issues, with Swizz apparently admitting to the wrongdoing, saying, “I did bad.”
Additionally, Jones 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.”
In the same interview, Capo challenged Killa to a $10 million boxing match, promising to “box his head off” as their ongoing verbal war continues to escalate.
