Fivio Foreign has thrown some shade at Nas despite the fact the two collaborated in 2020 on the rap legend’s album King’s Disease.
Sitting down for a chat on Jim Jones’ new podcast, the drill star was discussing Nas’ status in Hip Hop.
He said: “I’m not saying that the man is wack, he’s not a legend. I got a song with the n-gga—I got a song on the album and the album got a Grammy. But I can’t sit there and say a Nas bar to you or a song.”
Fivio then added: “I like ‘One Mic’.”
Jim Jones has been going at Nas in recent months, claiming he is the more successful artist of the two.
He said: “Check my track record, then check everybody else track record. Then go to Billboard and check all my entries then check all them n-ggas entries. I been spanking a lot of this shit. Pull up Nas’ Billboard entries, then pull up my Billboard entries.”
Jones then doubled down on his comments in an interview with Angie Martinez: “I didn’t start it. There was a young gentleman that they asked a question to and his clip went viral. He was on a podcast and they asked him who’s more relevant: Jim Jones or Nas? That went super viral and that led to all these people with platforms to ask that question.”
He added: “I gave people a prerequisite. I know how to go viral, this is easy. We’re in a community where everything goes viral… and turns into a revenue stream. I’m on everybody’s Explore page, I’m at the top of this page, the top of that page. You like me, don’t like me, know who I was… one click away from making me some money. I also have a record label, I have artists, I have music out. It makes it that much easier to know who Jim Jones is. I’m worried about myself when I make these moves. I know how to turn my negatives into a positive.”
Jones then addressed the Nas comparisons directly: “Man, I didn’t know how many people loved Nas, though. I’m watching people go absolutely batshit crazy, like goddamn. But that’s hip-hop. There’s people that I adored as a fan too that I’ll probably go batshit crazy for in the same situation, I love it, that’s what the game was built on. Let’s not make no mistake, I put in a lot of work and I did a lot of incredible things that a lot of people have not gotten to do in this industry.”
