    Wallo Calls for Peace Between Cam’ron and Jim Jones

    ‘I Hate Seeing the Distance’ — Wallo Urges Diplomats to Reconcile After Recent Feud

    Wallo, co-host of Million Dollaz Worth of Game, has made a heartfelt public plea for peace between Cam’ron and Jim Jones, two of the key figures behind the Diplomats movement. The legendary duo, who rose to prominence in the early 2000s, have rekindled their long-running feud in recent days.

    On Instagram, Wallo posted a throwback photo of the pair and shared an emotional message calling for reconciliation. “I’m writing this letter from a place of deep admiration and respect,” Wallo wrote. “From my prison cell, I witnessed something truly incredible — the bond and brotherhood you two shared. You brought Harlem’s energy to the world in a way that was nothing short of legendary.”

    Wallo reflected on the cultural impact the two had, emphasizing that their bond went beyond music, becoming a movement that inspired many. “I hate seeing the distance now,” he continued. “What you two had was more than music; it was a movement.”

    His plea came after Cam’ron launched into a fiery rant on his It Is What It Is show, claiming that Jones wasn’t truly from Harlem and mocking his former groupmate’s past. Jones has since teased new music responding to Cam’s recent comments.

    Jim Jones has officially prepared his response to Cam’ron’s recent remarks, and he made sure to showcase it in front of a significant Harlem landmark. On January 18, the Dipset rapper went live on Instagram, performing his diss track in front of a mural dedicated to Derek “Bloodshed” Armstead, his longtime friend, and Cam’ron’s cousin, who tragically died in a 1997 car accident. The location, East 110th Street, also holds special meaning as Cam’ron recently announced plans to film a freestyle series there.

    The new track is a direct reply to comments made by Cam during a segment of his show It Is What It Is. Cam mocked Jones for admitting that Ma$e taught him how to rap, with Jones firing back on the track: “So what more you want to ask him? / You n-ggas taught me how to rap, and now I’m platinum.”

    Cam also questioned Jones’ Harlem roots, which Jones addresses in his upcoming song. “Is he a Bronx, is he a Harlem n-gga?” Jones raps, adding, “Fuck all that — tell me what’s the problem, n-gga?”

    The new track, titled “JOMO (Jump Off My Ayoo),” is set to drop on January 20, and will feature a remix of his Harlem-themed song “This Sh!t Still In Harlem,” with contributions from fellow Harlem rappers like Juelz Santana, Vado, Dave East, and 2gs Like Gucci. The ongoing tension between the two seems to be far from over.

    Jim Jones Claims Sneaker Culture Originated with Drug Dealers

    Dipset rapper reflects on fashion, hustling, and cultural shifts

    Jim Jones believes the roots of sneaker culture trace back to the streets, crediting drug dealers as the trendsetters. On Thursday (January 2), the rapper took to Instagram to share his perspective, posting: “Sneaker culture started wit drug dealers argue wit ur mama.”

    Expanding in his caption, Jones wrote: “Who made Nike n Reebok’s fly and before that Pumas n Adidas? Michael Jordan made em, but the drug dealers made me want to buy them. Nowadays, most basketball sneakers are not fashionable anymore, which is why a lot of sneaker companies are losing.”

    Jones criticized modern sneaker enthusiasts, suggesting they lack the perspective of those who hustled to afford the original releases. “Most of them never had a pair of Jordan’s when they came out; they only bought retros,” he added.

    The rapper is no stranger to voicing his opinions on cultural shifts. Recently, Jones praised Nas for his transformative impact on hip-hop in the ’90s, calling the rapper’s aesthetic and innovative rhyme style revolutionary.

    With sneaker culture evolving and rap’s influence ever-present, Jones’ reflections tie together past and present in both fashion and music.

    Jim Jones Fires Back at 50 Cent and Cam’ron Over Past Feuds

    Jim criticized 50 Cent and Cam’ron for revisiting his 2007 on-stage appearance with 50 during a tumultuous Dipset period

    Jim Jones spoke about the recent comments 50 Cent and Cam’ron directed at him regarding his on-stage appearance with 50 in 2007, which took place during that tumultuous period for Dipset. Speaking on Justin Laboy’s Respectfully podcast, Jones did not hold back in criticizing the two rappers for bringing back the past.

    “Them n-ggas be on my dick,” Jones said bluntly. “I did a lot for them n-ggas in their life. Pause, though. Get off my dick! It’s only space on there for baby girl.”

    Jones dismissed Cam’ron’s claim that he was trying to fix the rift within Dipset before the show, saying: “That n-gga couldn’t pull nothing together. Nobody could tell me nothing. I was my own boss.”

    He justified his getting on stage together with 50 Cent despite their rivalry in the past. “They called me like, ‘Yo, you wanna come out and perform?’ I said, ‘Yeah! I got the hottest record.’ I wasn’t on nobody’s friendship. I was a pirate.”

    Jones also made a public admonishment for Cam’ron’s bitter exchange with 50 on Hot 97, branding it “childish” and “corny”.

    Although the drama had long since mellowed, it shows through what he has said, that there are still some bones to pick concerning the way the Dipset drama unfolded when they were at their peak.

    Fif’ fired back at Jim Jones over comments about their 2007 performance

    50 Cent clapped back at Jim Jones for last week’s remarks made by the Dipset rapper about their notorious performance together in 2007. In an interview with Justin Laboy, Jones revisited that moment, taking shots at both 50 and Cam’ron, which sparked a quick response from the rapper of G-Unit.

    On Wednesday (January 8), 50 Cent posted a selfie with JAY-Z, Diddy, Fat Joe, and Remy Ma at the 2017 Roc Nation brunch to highlight Jim Jones outside the group’s fold. The ridicule of an image was soon followed by a more serious post, a court transcript from 6ix9ine’s racketeering trial that allegedly includes a discussion between Jones, referred to as “Individual-1,” about the violent treatment of the “Gummo” rapper and calling out his gang affiliation.

    “LOL [grinning face emoji] INDIVIDUAL 1 calling the shots out here, I know you’re working so please don’t say gangster shit to me INDIVIDUAL 1!” is a funny caption from 50 to the post.

    This is the latest in the ongoing long-standing feud between the two, who have continued to trade barbs in the public eye.

    Jim Jones has hit back at 50 Cent after the G-Unit soldier insinuated that Jones was an informant in the racketeering case involving 6ix9ine and the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods. The two rappers have already traded barbs, and he said that Jim Jones would have loved to come with him for the performance in the recent interview with Cam’ron, where 50 talked about convincing Jones to perform with him during their 2000s feud with Killa Cam-an move that Jones later described as “devious.”

    In return, 50 Cent shared a court transcript of intercepts in wiretapped conversations where Jones had been tagged as Individual-1, allegedly plotting Nine Trey-related things. 50 took to Instagram to mock Jones, writing, “LOL INDIVIDUAL 1 calling the shots out here, I know you working so please don’t say gangster shit to me INDIVIDUAL 1!”-the jab was directed at Jones under the current case.

    Then again, after Thursday, January 9, Jones returned with a smash refuting the claims and the curse he directed to 50 Cent as a liar. In a light-hearted but contemptuous post on Instagram, Jones added, “Why u keep on lying? Why u keep on lying? Big nose emoji I am go back to sleep,” along with an old picture of himself, dismissing the excitement further with humor. The feud is heating up.

    Jim Jones Claims He’s Behind Cam’ron’s Iconic Pink Era

    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.

    Jones discusses Nas’ influence in rap

    Jim Jones shares his opinion regarding Nas’ contribution to Hip Hop in general, claiming that the rapper “changed everything.” Toward the end of October, he was a guest on The GAUDS Show hosted by Ray Daniels where he also mentioned how Nas has shaped the present-day rap scene.

    He explained: “In the ’90s, the arrows was starting to switch. And the person that made the switch for the arrows was Nas. Nobody ever understands how this shit works. Nas came in with a different aesthetic, a different rhyme pattern, a different cadence that could not be touched. The topics that he was talking about were topics that were very dear to the younger generation that was actually living and coming in at the time.

    “This was my high school years, and he was talking about shit that we was just loving to do. But the way that he was rhyming put a whole different speed on it. He was futuristic with that shit. When he did that, a lot of the older rappers couldn’t switch they flows and that axed ’em out, and then became a whole new generation of rap music that we hear today.”
