Jones asserts that he played a key role in influencing Cam’ron’s iconic Pink Era
Jim Jones has come onto the scene with some heavy revelations of his role as a pivotal character in Cam’ron’s entire time during that infamous pink saga, which resonated quite well with everything in a rapper’s life at the beginning of the 2000s. In a recent appearance on Justin LaBoy’s podcast, this claim was not lost on the Dipset artist, who asserted: “I’m the one you look at for that.”
“I created the aesthetic for the Diplomats, you heard? Down to Cam’s pink,” Jones said: “He’ll tell you. Sooner or later, he gon’ have to tell it, where he got the pink from.” Jones was recounting a time during the early years of Dipset when he came into the spot dressed up head to toe in pink- pink Diadoras, a pink Polo shirt, and so on. The loud outfit raised eyes at Cam and Dame, who first broke Jones’s chops about not getting him a truck, but then Cam’ron enjoyed the style.
“Cam was like, ‘I’m taking that pink. I’m running with it,'” Jones continued. “That was Killa Cam at the time, you heard?” The rapper also pointed out that he had previously been incorporating pink into his wardrobe every Easter long before the color became a trademark look. Jones said this brought the color into the picture of a defining color for their whole look for years to come.
