Back in June, when it was Summer Jam madness in New York, there was rumors that Kanye West was upset that Jim Jones was slated to close out the show. While it was never confirmed, Jim Jones recently backed them.

In a recent interview on Philadelphia's 100.3 radio station, the Dipset Capo revealed that he too heard that the Chicago rapper wasn't happy with him closing out the show.

Jones says Kanye can eat his heart out.

When asked, by host Kendra G., if the two rappers were cool, Jones said he doesn't take Kanye's comments too serious ... because he's just not that intimidating.

"Kanye is the one in the industry who throws tantrums and people become used to it and we don't take things he says to personal because he is like the 'Revenge of the Nerds' to me," Jones said.

As he continued, he took it upon himself to diss Kanye's style of dress, noting that his pants would fit a female.

"He is the one who wears full button-ups Danny Terial style," Jimmy joked. "I don't like tight jeans. I only like tight jeans on females and that comment is not just for Ye. It seems like jeans are getting tighter and sneakers are getting bigger."

Jim Jones recently released a new group album for his click, Byrdgang, titled M.O.B. The Album. Despite Jones' popularity, the album entered the Billboard 200 at no. 20, selling just 17,200 copies in its first week.

Seems like the only time anyone is talking about Jim Jones when he is bad mouthing someone else like some gossip girl. Not really becoming of a man to comment on stuff like what another man is wearing etc.

That's wack Jim. Kanye is different, but his style is a breath of fresh air from all the fake drug dealer type rappers. And Kanye snapped on Jeezy's 'I Put On'. I actually respect Kanye now. Jones should stay close to the Diplomats. Hello, that's where you came from stupid. Purple City Byrdgang, Skull Gang, M.O.B. (which we all know stands for Member of Blood); all those extra branches of Dip Set makes it look confused. I'm a Dip Set fan, I hate when stuff like this happens.
