They say brothers fight, but they’re still brothers. Cam’ron and Jim Jones came up as childhood friends in Harlem and left an indelible mark on hip-hop and pop culture as co-founding members of Dipset in the early 2000s.

Cam, Jim, Freakey Zekey and Juelz Santana joined the Roc-A-Fella movement as Cam’ron broke out as a star on the solo front. The Diplomats’ major label debut arrived in 2003 — Diplomatic Immunity, which debuted inside the top 10 of the Billboard 200 (No. 8), signaling the group’s commercial appeal while also feeding the streets as kings of the mixtape game. Dipset also became style icons in hip-hop fashion in the process.

Dipset’s run burned bright and burned fast, as by the mid-2000s Roc-A-Fella splintered and Cam feuded with Jay-Z, which led to the fracturing of the Harlem crew.

With the group separating, Jim Jones became a solo star in his own right in the mid-2000s, which was around the time Capo and Cam began feuding in the second half of the aughts. As Jim Jones titled his 2009 track targeting Cam and Max B, “Frienemies.”

It’s been nearly two decades since then, and Cam and Jim brought their petty beef into 2026, which found them exchanging jabs on social media. While there’s been brief reunions, the most recent of which came in 2021 on the Verzuz stage when Dipset lost to The LOX, there doesn’t seem to be much hope for a reconciliation from the childhood homies.

In the last year, both parties involved don’t see them being friends with one another in the future, and there hasn’t been much of any direct communication since that Verzuz battle over four years ago.
