Jim Jones has revealed why he has longstanding issues with Ma$e — and it’s all do with how he used to treat Cam’ron.
Appearing on Justin Laboy’s Respectfully podcast, Respectfully, the Dipset rapper spoke about growing up around Killa Cam and allegedly seeing the Harlem World hitmaker treat him differently after his career blew up.

“I watched Ma$e shit on Cam and everybody around him. Like, all the time,” he said. “I was Cam’s man, you heard? Cam and Ma$e were so-called best friends, grew up together… I was there for everything. That’s one thing people can’t never say, is that I wasn’t there for every single thing.”
Jones added: “Cam was jumping out the window for him, which a friend should. Like, being overprotective, making sure nothing happens. He was trying his best to make sure that Ma$e stayed as safe as possible. But Ma$e had got that money and lost his motherfucking mind.”
The “We Fly High” MC went on to discuss Cam and Ma$e squashing their own beef and reuniting for the sports talk show It Is What It Is.
“I seen crazier shit happen,” he said. “I seen brothers that done shot brothers and shit like that. So, for friends to get back after whatever they went through, it’s not surprising to me. But I see they don’t talk about the days of being shit on, the things that separated them.

“So it’s funny but kudos to them. They got a dope show. Who am I to hate on what they got going on? I hope they make a trillion dollars.”
Jim Jones previously took a shot at Ma$e in 2023 during an interview with The Breakfast Club.
Asked by DJ Envy about his relationship with his Harlem compatriot, Capo replied: “I don’t care about Ma$e. I don’t care for Ma$e too much. Tell Ma$e go say some prayers.”
However, he did praise his work on It Is What It Is, saying: “They’re definitely very funny. I can’t take that way from them. And they’re very knowledgeable about basketball, they both grew up playing basketball.

“Ma$e was cool, Cam was definitely had a chance to go to the NBA. I can’t say that with no hate or nothing in my heart. Boy was dumb nice.”
