The longstanding tension between rappers 50 Cent and Jim Jones has resurfaced, with recent exchanges on social media bringing their feud back into the spotlight. The discord reignited following remarks made by Jones regarding a past performance with G-Unit during Dipset’s internal conflicts.
Background of the Feud
In 2007, at the height of Dipset’s internal disputes, Jim Jones joined 50 Cent on stage, a move that was perceived as a betrayal by fellow Dipset member Cam’ron. This incident has been a point of contention among the involved parties ever since.
Recent Developments
The feud was rekindled after 50 Cent appeared on Cam’ron’s “Talk With Flee” podcast, where they discussed the 2007 performance. Jones responded to their conversation during an interview on Justin Laboy’s “Respectfully” podcast, expressing his frustration and stating, “Them ns be on my d**k. Them ns ain’t got nothing else to think about but Capo. I did a lot for them n****s in their life, ya heard? Both of them.”
In retaliation, 50 Cent took to Instagram, posting a photo of Jones alongside prominent figures like Jay-Z and Diddy, captioned: “LOL [grinning face emoji] INDIVIDUAL 1 calling the shots out here, I know you working so please don’t say gangster s**t to me INDIVIDUAL 1!” This caption references allegations that Jones was identified as “Individual 1” in court documents during Tekashi 6ix9ine’s racketeering trial, implying his involvement as an informant.
Jim Jones’ Response
Jim Jones dismissed 50 Cent’s accusations, responding on Instagram with a throwback photo and the caption: “Why u keep on lying why u keep on lying [big nose emoji] lol I’m goin back to sleep [sleeping face emoji].” He further added, “Free Mel matrix till it’s reversed,” referencing his associate Mel Matrix, who is currently incarcerated.
Current Status
As of now, 50 Cent has not responded to Jones’ latest remarks. The public exchange has reignited discussions among fans and industry observers about the longstanding issues between the two artists.
