Jim Jones, in a recent interview on The Breakfast Club where he appeared as a special guest on 27/02/2025, has sparked some debates on the Net and reignited a beef with 50 Cent.
The 2000s hip-hop-era rapper revealed that he doesn’t want to have anything to do with 50 Cent.
This came forth after Charlamagne Tha God asked Jim Jones during their interview on The Breakfast Club about potential Verzuz battles and who he thinks can pull it up with him.
“Would you want to do a Verzuz battle again—” Charlamagne Tha God asked.
Jim Jones replied:
“I got more solo records than most of them that really hit, remember that. Like, I got a lot of gold singles, and I got some actions. It’s gonna be hard for a lot of people from New York to win. And I got freestyles. In New York City? That’s gonna be hard, I would say that, for anybody.”
DJ Envy cut him short, suggesting that he thinks Jim Jones sounds like he would wanna do it with 50 Cent.
“Sounds like he wanna do that with 50 Cent—that’s what it sounds like,”
DJ Envy interrupted.
Jim Jones responded, saying:
“I don’t wanna do nothing with that sucker,”
While implying that DJ Envy asked that question on purpose to spark a reaction from him.
DJ Envy then cleared the air, saying he only mentioned 50 Cent ‘cause he thinks he’s one of those rappers from New York with a great catalog like Jim Jones.
50 Cent, upon stumbling on the interview in the media, punched back, calling Jim Jones a “Delusional Jomo” while stating that the only song Jim Jones has is Ballin’, which was written by Max B, in an Instagram post.
“Delusional Jomo only got one song, Ballin’, written by Max B. Da f*** he thinks he is, a bougie artist? F***in’ punk,”
50 Cent wrote on Instagram.
This beef between them dates back to the 2000s, with each taking shots at each other, throwing disses, and making subtle jabs—primarily rooted in a 50’s feud with Cam’ron, Jim Jones’s close associate and Dipset co-founder.Jim Jones even stated categorically that he’s that one artist from the 2000s who’s still making waves, even among the newbies in the industry now. He also said that this generation resonates with his music, further proving his influence and artistry prowess.
“How do you feel when people call you ‘the youngest old’?”
Charlamagne Tha God asked Jim Jones.
“I love it. I heard I love it. I’m still in the loop. I’m accepted by the younger generation. That means my music is moving. That means my music is touching them. That means my music resonates with them. You know how dope that is? For me to be in the game this long and be able to make music that the youngsters, that wasn’t around when I really was, still admire and want to know who this guy is—something about that, you know what I mean? I don’t see too many people from my day doing anything like what I’m doing. How many? If they are, call them out right now. I mean, in New York.”
