American rapper Jim Jones appeared for an interview on Way Up With Angela Yee on Thursday. He opened up about his relationship with Kanye West and their recent reported fallout. Jim first described Kanye as an "attention seeker" and someone who allegedly needed constant fame.
Jim responded to the recent feud with Ye, in which the latter alleged that Jim Jones received $2 million for introducing him to a crypto magnate.
Jim addressed the claim in the interview, stating:
"Bro, you talking about this $2 million, if I was one of these ni**as that love the media, I would put the text out quietly and show everything that you lied about. Let's not do this. We only talk through text. We had a back and forth."

During the conversation, Jim Jones claimed that if he were the type to engage publicly, he would have disclosed the details that Ye allegedly lied about.
He further explained:
"He said he wanted to shoot the fair one with me. I said, 'Cool.' I said, 'I'm flying out to L.A. tomorrow. We can shoot the 31.' That's terms where I'm from. We fight for 31 seconds. I kick your a*s for 31 seconds, I hug you and then I fly home."
Jones also claimed that following this exchange, Kanye allegedly messaged him to say that he had just been venting and there was no need for them to fight.
