Joseph Guillermo Jones II (born July 15, 1976), better known by his stage name Jim Jones, is an American rapper, record executive, and actor.[1][2] He was a member of the now-defunct hip-hop group the Diplomats (also known as Dipset), which he formed alongside fellow Harlem rapper Cam'ron in 1997.[3]
History (w/ Kanye West)[]
Ye explaining why he made the "Fuck Jim Jones" tweet, censored.
Previously, Jones remixed Kanye West's hit single "Runaway" with Sen City & Cam'ron in an attempt to diss West; this move was generally panned by critics and fans.[4][5] However, both Cam'ron and Jim Jones made up with West with the release of "Christmas In Harlem" on December 17, 2010, having a guest verse from the two. The two were on good terms for a while after.
Jones met up with Ye in Toyoko, Japan, to work on music and fashion.[6] After this, Ye released "Tina" (with The Game) (on February 17, 2025), notably featuring some vocals from Jones. Arbitrarily, Ye went on an X (fka Twitter) rant, dissing Jones, stating "Fuck Jim Jones" in a post, which he later explained.[7]
