Kanye West and Jim Jones Spark Collaboration Rumors Amid Dipset Feud

TOKYO, Japan — Kanye West and Jim Jones were spotted partying together in a Tokyo nightclub over the weekend, fueling speculation of a potential collaboration amid the ongoing feud between Jones and his former Dipset collaborator, Cam'ron. The duo shared new music and clothing, with Jones posting a photo on Instagram captioned, “We out here playin BULLY BALL only shot u don’t make is th shot u don’t take. This is about believing in yourself when no one else will.”

Jones, a Harlem-based artist, also hyped West’s upcoming album, “Bully,” calling it “so crazy” and warning other artists to drop their projects now or risk being overshadowed. “Bully, this album so crazy I wouldn’t drop if I was y’all or drop now cause when he drops this is gone b a big problem. We not takin no for answers we are th BULLY,” he wrote. He concluded his post by declaring, “Safe to say @ye back aka THE REAL BILLY GOAT pun intended.”

West reciprocated the camaraderie by sharing a snapshot of the Dipset chain, a symbol of Jones’ hip-hop group, resting on a fur-lined jacket. The Chicago artist captioned the post simply, “DIPSET,” and was seen wearing the necklace during their night out.

The encounter comes amid a public feud between Jones and Cam’ron, his former Dipset collaborator. Cam’ron has yet to comment on the Tokyo meeting but has previously criticized West’s public behavior. On his “All the Smoke Podcast,” Cam’ron dismissed West’s bipolar diagnosis, calling him an “Uncle Tom” while also expressing affection for the artist. “Kanye, he play crazy with who he wanna play crazy with, you know what I’m saying? That n-gga’s crazy when it’s convenient,” Cam’ron said. He added, “Every time I seen Kanye he’s perfectly fine — I’ve never seen the crazy Kanye, personally. Ever.”

Despite the tension, Cam’ron and West have crossed paths before, including a meeting during the “Donda 2” sessions, where they were joined by Marilyn Manson. The Tokyo outing with Jones, however, suggests West may be aligning himself with one side of the Dipset rift as he prepares for the release of “Bully.”
