Jim Jones and 50 Cent are reigniting their long-standing feud, with the Dipset rapper firing back after 50 Cent revived allegations accusing him of being a federal informant. The online spat has fans buzzing as the two hip-hop icons trade shots on social media.
On Thursday (January 9), Jim Jones took to Instagram to respond to 50 Cent’s claims. Sharing a throwback photo from the set of his iconic 2007 music video for “We Fly High,” Jones used the post to defend his name while subtly flexing his style credentials. In the picture, he’s seen rocking Chrome Hearts, showcasing his early influence as a trendsetter in hip-hop fashion.
But it was the caption that caught everyone’s attention. Jones directly addressed 50 Cent, writing:
“Why u keep on lying why u keep on lying lol I’m goin back to sleep.”
To make his target clear, Jones added a pointed statement:
“Free Mel matrix till it’s reversed.”
This clapback was a response to 50 Cent’s earlier Instagram post, where the G-Unit boss reignited his accusations against Jones. 50 Cent shared a transcript and audio recording played during Tekashi 6ix9ine’s 2019 trial, which included a conversation allegedly involving Jones and Nine Trey Bloods “godfather” Jamel “Mel Murda” Jones, also known as Mel Matrix. In the recording, the two are purportedly discussing matters tied to the high-profile case.
50 Cent has long suggested that Jones cooperated with federal authorities, an allegation Jim Jones has repeatedly denied. Their latest exchange has only added fuel to the fire, reigniting their rivalry and sparking debates across social media.
As the drama unfolded, fans took to the comment sections to voice their opinions. Some supported Jim Jones, praising his loyalty and dismissing the claims as baseless. Others sided with 50 Cent, urging Jones to address the allegations head-on.
This is not the first time the two rappers have clashed publicly, and given their history, it’s unlikely to be the last. For now, all eyes are on how this feud will develop, and whether either will drop a diss track to settle the score.
