News : Maino Sets The Record Straight After Cam'ron's Story About Jim Jones Confrontation

Maino has opened up about the story of how he became close with Jim Jones, arguing that it “didn’t go like” how Cam’ron said it did during a recent episode of It Is What It Is. Cam had claimed that Jones attempted to check Maino for his lyrics on a certain song while ranting about his Dipset partner.

“The song he’s talking about is the song that put me in the game, ‘Rumors,’ where I was talking about all the rumors in the industry,” Maino explained on Way Up with Angela Yee. “The thing about that is I mentioned [Cam’ron] in the song; I didn’t mention Jimmy. Jimmy didn’t like me [because of that] so we when we saw each other we would have these ‘face fights,’ but nothing ever happened.”

Of the specific encounter Cam mentioned, Maino added: “We were in Atlanta and we had a conversation. He didn’t approach me and press me or none of that. We had a conversation. It wasn’t spectacular, nobody swung. Once we started to talk and realized that we had things in common, we were cool from that point on. We’ve been way cooler than we were [enemies] because we didn’t know each other. That was a long time ago.”

As for how Cam put it, he said on his sports talk show: “Maino gonna downplay it ’cause they cool now. He tried to press Maino ’cause Maino first came out with a little record where he said a n***a’s name. So Jim went to see Maino one day and was like, ‘Yo, wassup with all that saying my name?’ Maino said, ‘Who the f*ck you talking to?! Oh, you think I’m one of them n****s? You out your motherf*cking mind!’ Now they’re the Lobby Boyz.” Cam has been feuding with Jones ever since he sat down for an interview with 50 Cent. Check out Maino's full side of the story below.
