Trouble within the Dipset Camp?

By: Yves Erwin Salomon

There has been building speculation for months that there was dissention within the Diplomats camp but now Diplomats co-CEO Jim Jones has gone on record with his beefs with Diplomats founder Cam'ron. Jones allegedly will be conducting interviews in the coming days to provide more clarity on the issue but he told gossip columnist Miss Info of WQHT-FM in New York that he and Juelz Santana were "putting Cam'ron on punishment."

The latest dust-up in the Diplomats camp was fueled by the negative publicity generated by Cam'ron's 60 Minute interview where he said he wouldn't alert authorities if a serial killer lived next door to him. Cam'ron was also allegedly involved in a confrontation with rapper Tru Life in front of New York's Club Stereo.

Jones said, "Me and Cam'ron haven't spoken to each other in a year.... I kept quiet out of loyalty, I felt like if we can't be friends then at least we can do business together....But now I can't be next to you....I'm through wit being in hot water because of you....We still the Diplomats. We worked too hard to achieve our own success and now we're gonna do something new...."

According to a source, Jones anti-Cam'ron sentiment isn't shared by Santana and several other members of the Diplomats.
