Envy adds more details about the infamous club standoff
DJ Envy has confirmed Cam’ron’s story about a confrontation between Jim Jones and Maino, adding some details to the wild tale. In an explosive rant earlier this week, Killa Cam revealed that Jim once confronted Maino for dissing him early in his career. According to Cam, Jim went to see Maino and told him, “Yo, wassup with all that saying my name?” Maino, who wasn’t having it, responded, “Who the fk you talking to?! Oh, you think I’m one of them n****s? You out your muthafkin’ mind!” From there, their relationship evolved, eventually becoming part of the Lobby Boyz duo.
Speaking on The Breakfast Club, DJ Envy verified the story and revealed additional details from the night of the confrontation. Envy recalled that Maino, known for his bad-boy image at the time, was with three of his associates in the club, while Jim Jones arrived with about 15 people. When Jim walked down the stairs, Maino immediately told his crew, “Yo, everybody tuck your chains in,” signaling a tense situation.
Envy described how Jim walked over to Maino and his crew, but the entire club reportedly scattered when he pulled a move like he was reaching for a gun. “Jim walked over, with all the dudes in front of Maino, and Maino went in his jacket like he had a gun. And when he fake pulled out like he had a gun, the club scattered. Everybody cleared out.”
Envy was initially surprised, thinking Maino had somehow managed to sneak in a weapon despite the club’s metal detectors. However, Maino later admitted, “I lied. I was just bluffing.”
This incident is part of the ongoing drama between Jim Jones and Cam’ron, with Jones recently teasing a fiery response to Cam’s remarks. He shared a snippet of a diss track where he warns, “N****s play with your name, then you remind them who you are.”
