Mase and Cam’ron, iconic rappers-turned-podcast stars, have built a new chapter together as co-hosts of the hit show It Is What It Is. Despite their entertaining dynamic today, their friendship wasn’t always smooth. Former Dipset member Jim Jones recently stirred the pot by accusing Mase of clowning Cam’ron in the past. Jones questioned the authenticity of their current camaraderie, sparking a wave of buzz in the hip-hop community. Mase wasted no time in subtly addressing the claims, showcasing his ability to rise above old grievances.

Jim Jones Calls Out Mase’s Past Behavior
During an appearance on the Respectfully podcast, Jim Jones shared his perspective on Mase’s relationship with Cam’ron during their rise to fame. According to Jones, Mase, who was signed to Bad Boy Records in the ’90s, distanced himself from Cam and their circle during his commercial peak. Jones alleged that Mase used to “sh*t on Cam and everybody around him,” fueling tension that lingered for years.
The dynamic between Mase and Dipset has always been complex. While Mase reached stardom earlier, Cam’ron and Jim Jones didn’t hit their stride until the 2000s. This created an imbalanced relationship where, according to Jones, Mase dismissed their potential. Despite these accusations, Jones clarified he wishes both Mase and Cam’ron well, even if he doubts their reconciliation is genuine.
Mase and Cam’ron’s United Front
Mase and Cam’ron didn’t respond directly to Jones but took to social media to subtly address the situation. The duo posted an old photo of themselves together on a New York stoop, a throwback to their early days in the game. The caption read, “No need to dwell on the past. We here now, we gone. Push it to the limit.”

Still, fans of Dipset remain hopeful. The group’s legacy in hip-hop is undeniable, and a reunion would be a monumental event. However, with tensions resurfacing, it seems unlikely that the members will join forces again in the near future.
