In an exclusive interview from the new Sub-0 DVD, Jim Jones speaks on the current status of The Diplomats and claims his Sony deal may be the last big deal an artist will ever see.
With the continued questioning on the status of his relationship with Cam’ron, Jones cleared the doubts and gave his opinion on his long-time business associate and friend.
“Shout-outs to Cam. Killa, where you at? Cam took a hiatus, you know, sometimes the music puts a strain on you. He’s a wealthy dude, man. I seen him Christmas Eve,” Jones said.
Despite rumors of the Diplomats breaking apart and no longer together, Jones also clarified the speculations. “It’s always Dipset. We all got our own ventures that we’re doing—that we become bosses of. But Diplomat is the bird that flies high. For the most part, it’s always Diplomat. That’s what got us here. That’s the umbrella,” he confirmed.
In early October 2007, the Harlem rapper signed a multi-million dollar deal with Sony Records. Jones claims that the signing would have a greater value than past monumental deals and may be the last great one for all artists. “I did a venture with Sony that is probably better than the venture Dame [Dash] had when they did Roc-A-Fella. Nobody won’t probably get a chance to get any more deals like that in the crisis that the music [business] is in,” Jones said.
