Jim Jones recently stirred conversation by declaring himself a more skilled rapper than Nas during an interview on the Joe & Jada Podcast.
“I was a superior Nas fan but when you get into the game you realize your idols be rivals. My son can’t tell me one Nas record. I got a hell of a catalog. Me, Jim Jones, myself, gold records, platinum records, no Diplomats, nobody else, me, Jim Jones.
“Check my track record, then check everybody else track record. Then go to Billboard and check all my entries then check all them n-ggas entries. I been spanking a lot of this shit. Pull up Nas’ Billboard entries, then pull up my Billboard entries.”
Jim Jones says he got more billboard entries and better catalog than Nas in 2025:

Jones also didn’t hold back when talking about the Clipse following the release of their track “Ace Trumpets”.
While speaking to Bootleg Kev at the BET Awards, he made it clear that there’s lingering tension with the Virginia pair.
Dismissing the song, Jones questioned its impact: “What’s so great about it? It’s good in what? The nostalgic value of it? I don’t believe it. I don’t believe it, I don’t believe them.”
He further stated: “But that’s a whole other story and I don’t wanna downplay nobody’s craft… but I don’t listen to their music and never have. I don’t recall too many records that I can remember.”
Pusha T hasn’t issued a response to Jones’ latest remarks, though this isn’t their first public conflict.
Previously, Jones voiced disapproval over Pusha’s inclusion in a list of the greatest rappers, remarking: “What has he done that puts him in the greatest rappers of all time? Besides talk about cocaine that he probably didn’t get himself. He could rap his ass off but what has he done? Nobody has dressed like him. Nobody want to be like Pusha T. I don’t remember nothing.”
Their dispute escalated when Pusha released a diss track aimed at Jones, first played during Louis Vuitton’s 2023 fashion event.
In the lyrics, Pusha T warned: “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.”
