Kanye West had an interview with DJ Akademiks that was released on Sunday, March 30, and he dissed a slew of people like JAY-Z, Pusha T, Kendrick Lamar, Ty Dolla $ign, Kim Kardashian, and John Legend.
He mentioned Jim Jones as well and explained in detail why he's so upset with him. Kanye first revealed that he has a problem with Jones earlier this month in a tweet, and it has to do with money.
"See this is my issue with Jim Jones," Ye told Akademiks. "He is gonna get a percentage for introducing me to this crypto guy. And I know this s**t sound like a Tarantino movie. Jim Jones wants me to meet with Mr. Pink to make $2 million off a crypto coin. Next Tarantino film, right?"
He continued. "So, I found out before the second meeting that he was going to make this money. When I found out how much money it was, I was like, you know what? I took the meeting, and he got the money."
Ye then said that he asked Jones for a PDF file of the clothes they're working on, and that the Harlem rapper said he didn't know how to make a PDF. Ye said he found it disrespectful that Jones would say that to him and called him "broke."
Jones hasn't responded yet, but he did post a message when Ye dissed him earlier this month. "Ye sniffin’ Ye, lol but keep my name alive champ we love KanYE," wrote Jones. "He’s lucky I don’t have time to talk bout lies right now only th truth lol lol lol."
