Jim Jones Isn’t Ready To Make Peace With Ma$e: ‘Go Say Some Prayers’

Jim Jones Talks Drake Vs Hov Relationship With Mase Camron Pusha T More 7 12 screenshot

While being a guest on The Breakfast Club this week, Charlamagne and asked Jim Jones if he was interested in doing a biopic for his group The Diplomats, which led to him discussing his relationship with Ma$e and Cam’ron.

Jim spoke about his days as a young man when both Ma$e and Cam lived with Jim and his grandmother after getting kicked out of school. However, when asked how his relationship is with the Harlem World rapper today, Jones responded, “I don’t care about Ma$e,” he said. “I don’t care for Ma$e too much. Tell Ma$e go say some prayers.”

Cam and Ma$e have reconciled whatever beef they previously had. So much so that they have recently launched a new show together, “It Is What It Is”. 

Jim has been more vocal about his up and downs with Cam’ron. In his latest album, Back in My Prime, Jim says the following on “ Status Update”:

“I be in the streets, they are asking where Juelz at / I wouldn’t know the real reason why he fell back,” Jim raps before going into his verse about Cam.
“Been in the cold freezing we would sell crack / Boy, I put some demons in this hellcat / And it’s hard for me and Cam to see eye to eye / I love him, and I still hug him but when I see him it’s like hi and bye. It’s kinda crazy, I thought it was ride or die…next subject.

The streets are still waiting on a Dipset union, especially following The Lox and Dipset showdown on Verzuz. However, by the looks of things, this won’t be happening any time soon.

Last year, Ma$e and Cam’Ron made amends after their longstanding Harlemite feud dating back to the late 90s, that only became more inflamed with the shooting deaths of Big L and Baby J during that era. Last week, Cam and Ma$e had a one-night-only show featuring Jadakiss at Harlem’s Apollo Theater and performed their “Horse And Carriage” hit for the first time n their careers.

“Imma keep it a hundred: I ain’t do this song in so long. So Imma just act like y’all know it and do a little bit of this,” said Cam’Ron. Mase went on to say, “Yo, we never got to perform this song. We never got to perform this.”

[WATCH] Ma$e Announces That He’s Joining Death Row Records

Screen Shot 2022 08 04 at 9.38.32 AM

During an ultimately fatal feud between two coasts back in the mid to late 90s, Death Row Records and Bad Boy Records were the most powerful labels in Hip Hop music. Now, after a week of being in the forefront of Hip Hop gossip, former Bad Boy Ma$e is looking to be the first rapper signed to have signed to both of the monumental imprints.

Ma$e, whose given name is Mason Betha, took to Instagram yesterday(August 3) to announce that he’s in the process of signing a deal with Death Row Records, which is now owned by Snoop Dogg.

“I’m on Crenshaw — just passed Pico, just passed Slauson — and I’m out here to meet with Snoop so I can do another joint venture with Death Row Records,” Ma$e said while riding through L.A. I’ll be officially the first one signed to Bad Boy and Death Row. And we gon’ get the 2Pac thing rekindled. Let’s see where we go with that.”

Ma$e was one of Diddy’s flagship artists for Bad Boy, dropping thre albums on the label; Harlem WorldDouble Up and Welcome Back before departing in 2012. Their relationship soured soon after and earlier this year, Ma$e dropped a diss track aimed at Diddy called “Oracle 2: The Liberation Of Mason Betha”.

However, before Ma$e decided to make this move, Snoop alluded that he and Diddy were trying to bridge the gap between the two powerhouses. “We can show growth and progression that we can move forward,” he said. “We can take this Bad Boy, Death Row, what it used to be, and make it a collaboration on peace and love. ’Cause that’s who I am. I’m Suge and Puffy.”

[WATCH] Ma$e Admits He Regrets Feud With Cam’ron

Screen Shot 2022 08 03 at 8.47.22 AM

On a recent episode of Gillie and Wallo’s Million Dollaz Worth of Game, former Bad Boy artist delved into how buying his first iced-out Rolex is when his relationships began to turn sour.

“When I got the money it just changed everything, but at first my problem with I think Cam was just that they thought I had money I didn’t have,” Ma$e said. “Like I just told you I was flexing crazy, so n-ggas was like, ‘Yo, Murda ain’t sharing the bag.’ I never got the bag. Now that we looking back you can see he never got that bag, and then by the time I got the bag we was enemies already. So I didn’t get to break ’em off.”

He added, “That’s one of the relationships I regret. I think I got two that I regret, and going at Killa, I wanted to do that but that was like my n-gga, you know what I’m saying? So that really hurt me.”

Ma$e and Cam’s issues began in 1999 when the former Children of the Corn member left Harlem and went to Atlanta to become a pastor after a street beef with the late Baby Maine.

Ma$e returned to the rap game five years later with a new album called Welcome Back, which he promoted on Flunk Flex’s Hot 97 radio program. During the show, Cam and Jim Jones called in to interrogate Ma$e over his abrupt departure from Harlem. The trio argued live on Hot 97, with Cam calling him a “fraud.”

Ma$e Says He Dissed Diddy After Seeing the Pain of Other Bad Boy Artists

v

Ma$e is continuing his latest attack on Diddy. Following the release of “Oracle 2: The Liberation of Mason Betha,” Ma$e hit Instagram and gave details to his recent diss.

“When I see the hurt and the pains of other people on Bad Boy, that motivates me to say something, so I don’t be deemed as a person who just made a bunch of money and turned a blind eye,” Ma$e said. “I’m not going to be like the rest of the people around Puff that don’t tell him he’s wrong. I’m not gonna be like the ‘yes’ men around him that see him ruining people lives and never tell him he’s wrong. More people on here will tell me I’m wrong, but won’t say anything to him.”

He added, “They’ll judge my beliefs, they’ll judge my Christianity, and they’ll say nothing to Puff. They’ll say nothing about it’s a concert for Biggie, and Biggie own daughter couldn’t get in. They don’t say nothing about that. But all of his friends got 50 and 60 tickets. We’re done with your games.”

On the new single, Ma$e made Diddy a direct target:

“Yeah, I’m just a Harlem nigga reppin down a Vegas strip with my own suge
You from Mt. Vernon nigga, go and rep your own hood
I’m not hating on your Billi worth
Right now, I’m only saying what you really work
You aint no architect
You just a nigga who know how to market death”

Mase on “Oracle 2”

[LISTEN] Ma$e Explains Why He Dissed Diddy On “Oracle 2”

Screen Shot 2022 03 15 at 12.31.53 PM

After letting it loose on Diddy on his latest track “Oracle 2: The Liberation Of Mason Betha”, Ma$e took to Instagram Live yesterday(March 17) to discuss why he made the diss record aimed at Diddy, his integrity and the way he treated former Bad Boy artists.

The former Bad Boy said he made that song to empower those scared to speak up against the Bad Boy founder, saying, “When I see the hurt and the pains of other people on Bad Boy that motivates me to say something so I don’t be deemed as a person who just made a bunch of money and turned a blind eye. I’m not gonna be like the rest of the people around Puff that don’t tell him he’s wrong. I’m not gonna be like the yes men around him that seem him ruining people’s lives and never tell him he’s wrong.”

Ma$e seemed to have sided with the former contestants of Making The Band, who have been very critical of Diddy as of late, with one former contestant saying that Diddy’s dealings with him almost made him commit suicide.

Diddy reponded the controversy on his Instagram Stories, writing, “STOP ALL YOUR CRYING, BITCHING & MOANING. HUSTLE HARDER OR GET THE FUCK OUT OF OUR WAY. – LOVE.”
