Cam’ron has rebuffed Jim Jones‘ claim that he “backdoored” him in talks for Dipset’s Verzuz matchup against The LOX. The Harlem rapper denied the allegation on Instagram on Sunday (March 2), sharing what he said was a text exchange between them ahead of the much-hyped battle. In the message thread, Jones told Cam he had no interest in compensation for the Verzuz at Madison Square Garden, calling the event a “bucket list” milestone he expected would spark new business prospects.
Jones then expressed he’d even forfeit his share of the earnings to Cam’ron just to bring the showdown to life. “Really I just wanna touch [that] stage in a big way and if I have to take a loss to make a gain I’m willin to,” he stated. Cam then fired back, saying, “It’s not about the money for me bro. It’s about n-ggas keep getting more paper [off] us [than] we get [off] us. (Supreme etc).” “Swizz and [them] ain’t pay nobody then sold the company for 40/50m’s,” he continued, nodding to Swizz Beatz and Timbaland’s 2021 sale of Verzuz to Triller — a partnership that has since splintered relations. “[I’m] tryna get back for what they did to the cold crush lol.”

Cam’ron responded to Jim Jones through an IG caption, writing, “I don’t pay half the shit n-ggas say no mind. But you know I keep the files. You wanted to do versus for free n-gga. So if you made a dollar be happy.” He added, “Talking bout it was on ya bucket list [face with rolling eyes emoji].. stop tryna re-write history. Now u got alost in the garden and the Barclays [laughing face emojis].” “And ya n-ggas ain’t eating unless they came with they own bread. The boy @sugadugga_ent got more money than you. And let’s bet 10M’s on that. Go get handsome a car a crib in jersey something [facepalm emoji] I’m done..FO NOW.”
Capo voiced his frustrations with Cam’s handling of Dipset’s Verzuz battle during a recent interview last week. “Swizz, holla at me. You backdoored me, gave that man some business that you ain’t give all of us,” he stated, suggesting that he and Juelz Santana were cut out of a deal. He continued, “I need triple what I had last time, the way we put that Verzuz on fire. We had that thing looking like a championship game […] You definitely got to give me triple, Swizz, and you got to give me some real business this time.”
The Harlem rapper said he later approached Swizz Beatz about their dispute, alleging that the Ruff Ryders producer acknowledged his misstep and responded: “I did bad.” Jones also fired back at Cam’ron, addressing what he called a “betrayal”, voicing: “He’ll say, ‘That’s me being a businessman.’ Nah, that’s you being a sucka doing backdoor shit. I stand on 10 toes and I break bread with my n-ggas […] I’m not one of them type of dudes.” At another point in the conversation, Capo issued a $10 million boxing challenge, pledging to “box his head off” as their simmering feud continues to escalate.
