Mase CLOWNS Jim Jones After Pusha T DESTROYS Him │ Jim CRASHES OUT | HO

In the world of hip-hop, egos clash and legends are made, but rarely does a feud capture the attention of the culture like the recent saga involving Jim Jones, Pusha T, and Harlem’s own Mase.

What began as a few dismissive comments on a podcast has escalated into a multi-layered beef, complete with viral diss tracks, Instagram shade, and Harlem’s most notorious rap veterans airing out decades-old grievances.

As the drama unfolds, one thing is clear: Jim Jones is fighting battles on multiple fronts, and his old friends-turned-foes are enjoying every minute of his public unraveling.

The Spark: Jim Jones Disses Pusha T’s Legacy

The drama first ignited when Jim Jones, a founding member of The Diplomats (Dipset), openly questioned Pusha T’s place among hip-hop’s elite. During an appearance on The Breakfast Club, Jones dismissed Pusha’s contributions, asking, “What has he done that puts him in the greatest rappers of all time besides talk about sh*t he probably didn’t kiss?” He doubled down on the RapCaviar podcast, claiming, “Nobody has dressed like him. Nobody want to be like Pusha T. I don’t know too many in this game that was leaning towards being like Pusha T. I don’t know no records they play in the club or Pusha T.”

This wasn’t just a hot take for clickbait; it was a direct shot at Pusha’s credibility and legacy, one that didn’t go unnoticed by the Virginia rapper or his fans. The timing was particularly pointed, coming just after Billboard ranked Pusha at #29 on their Top 50 Greatest Rappers of All Time list—a spot Jim clearly felt was undeserved.

Pusha T Responds: A Surgical Strike on Tiny Desk

Pusha T, never one to shy away from lyrical warfare, responded in the most public way possible: a performance on NPR’s Tiny Desk alongside his brother Malice as part of their Clipse comeback. The standout moment came during their new track “Chains and Whips,” a collaboration with Kendrick Lamar, where Pusha delivered bars that cut straight to Jim’s insecurities:

“You run from the spirit of repossession / Too much enamel covers your necklace / I buy sh*t, you buy them in sections / You buy watches, I buy collections.”

The verse was a not-so-subtle reference to Jim Jones’ well-publicized financial troubles, including the repossession of his home. Pusha’s delivery was cold, calculated, and direct—he stared into the camera, seemingly rapping directly to Jim’s soul. The internet exploded, with fans and critics alike hailing Pusha’s response as “diabolical” and “precision-level rapping.”

But the humiliation didn’t stop there. Mase, Jim’s old Harlem running mate, turned up in the comments with popcorn emojis, signaling he was there for the show.

Jim Jones Doubles Down—and Gets Clowned

Rather than take the L and move on, Jim Jones chose to escalate. He quickly responded to Pusha’s diss with a freestyle—though it was later revealed this track had actually been recorded two years prior when an early version of “Chains and Whips” leaked after a Clipse runway show for Louis Vuitton.

Jim posted the freestyle on Instagram, captioning it, “I thought we addressed this already. He going to need a bigger desk because that one was too tiny. This is surgical. I’m not a storyteller. I’m a life liver and your brother is still a friend to me, lol.” But fans weren’t buying it. The comments roasted Jim for recycling old material and failing to land a real counterpunch. “You got triggered and smoked so bad you re-uploaded a diss from last year,” one user wrote. Another added, “Jealousy turns into obsession. Give it up, man. You reaching.”

Even worse for Jim, Mase and Cam’ron—his Dipset brothers—joined in on the clowning, using their “It Is What It Is” podcast to air out old Harlem beef and poke fun at Jim’s every move.

Harlem History: Friends, Foes, and Freestyles

To understand the layers of this feud, you have to know the history. Jim Jones, Cam’ron, and Mase all came up together in Harlem as part of the early rap collective Children of the Corn. Mase was the first to blow, signing with Bad Boy Records and becoming an overnight star. According to Jim, Mase changed after finding fame, especially in his treatment of Cam. “I watched Mase sh*t on Cam and everybody around him… I was Cam’s man. Everybody Cam didn’t like, I didn’t like,” Jim recalled on the Respectfully Justin show.

But Cam’ron’s version of events is very different. On the podcast, he made it clear that Jim was never a day-one Harlemite, but a late addition from the Bronx who was more fan than friend. “You are from the Bronx, bro. You are not from Harlem. I did not grow up with you. You was a fan. You begged us. You are a fan,” Cam said, pulling no punches.

Mase, for his part, literally taught Jim how to rap—a fact Jim has admitted on multiple occasions. Cam even rolled the clip: “Mace helped me learn how to actually learn how to rap. Mace actually sat me down and showed me the magic to rap.”

Mase and Cam’ron: The Petty Kings

As the internet continued to roast Jim, Mase and Cam’ron leaned into the moment, bringing none other than 50 Cent—a longtime Jim nemesis—onto their podcast. Cam baited 50 into telling stories about Jim’s early days, painting him as a hanger-on rather than a core member of Dipset. “Basically, you heard our freestyles and you came up to me one day… and you begged us,” Cam said, further undermining Jim’s credibility.

Mase, meanwhile, played the role of silent assassin, munching popcorn and laughing so hard he nearly choked, letting his body language do the talking. Jim, predictably, fired back with body-shaming insults and threats to “slap the popcorn out of Mase’s hands,” but the damage was done. The internet had already crowned Mase and Cam the winners of this round.

Why Did Jim Crash Out?

So why is Jim Jones so pressed? Some say it’s loyalty to Drake, whom Jim called “the greatest rapper of all time” and whose own feud with Pusha T is legendary. Others point to Jim’s long-standing insecurity about his place in Harlem rap history—a narrative that’s only been reinforced by Cam and Mase’s relentless clowning.

Whatever the reason, Jim’s refusal to take the L has only made things worse. Each new response, whether a recycled freestyle or an Instagram post, is met with more ridicule from fans and peers alike. Even as he prepares to drop his new album “Iceman” with Drake, Jim seems more focused on settling scores than making music.

The Fallout: Harlem’s Rap Legacy in Question

This beef is about more than just bruised egos. It’s a public reckoning with Harlem’s rap legacy, a reminder that the streets never forget—and neither do the fans. As Mase and Cam’ron continue to clown Jim, and Pusha T cements his place among rap’s elite, Jim Jones is left to pick up the pieces of his reputation.

Will he bounce back? Or is this the final act in a career defined as much by controversy as by hits? Only time will tell. For now, Harlem—and the rest of the hip-hop world—is watching, popcorn in hand.
