Ye and Jim Jones' $2 Million Crypto Coin Drama Is Full of Accusations and Claims of Using Drugs

While carrying on with his rageful tirades against multiple rappers on X this week, Ye put the focus on Jim Jones

Rapper Ye, also known as Kanye West, took to X, formerly Twitter, on Tuesday (March 18) to continue his recent tirades, this time putting the focus on rapper Jim Jones and a very peculiar situation that, according to the seemingly unhinged rapper-producer, involves a whole lot of money.

While ranting about multiple rappers throughout the week, Ye explained in a series of posts why earlier in the day, he typed "F*CK JIM JONES." It seems that the two are feuding over Jones allegedly receiving $2 million for introducing Ye to a crypto coin specialist dubbed Mr. Pink.

"I KNOW THIS GONNA SOUND LIKE SOME TERRENTINO [Tarantino] MOVIE BUT HERE GOES," Ye began. "SOOO JIM JONES GOT PAID 2 MILLION TO INTRODUCE ME TO A GENTLEMAN NAME MR PINK TO DISCUSS MY CRYPTO COIN AND NEVER TOLD ME HE WAS GETTING 2 MILLION AND NEVER CUT ME IN."

According to Ye, he and Jones met up at a club in Miami and the two decided to keep in touch. From there, Jones told Ye that he could introduce him to someone "very important" for his crypto coin endeavors.

"He said yes and I told him to reach out to you and I never heard from him again for months. I said ok no problem and we can still link up later. Then one day I'm in the studio and I get a phone call from an unknown number. It's Mr. Pink saying that Jim told him to contact me and that he could help me with the coin."

Ye continued, adding that he and Mr. Pink met up at a restaurant in Calabasas where they spoke about the rapper's "vision" for his crypto coin.

"After the meeting we decided to keep in touch and we did. We kept in contact for a few months and then I realized that I never asked Mr. Pink how much he was getting paid for helping me. I decided to ask him and he told me that he wasn't getting paid anything but that he was doing it out of the goodness of his heart."

Finally, after checking with Jones' management, Ye learned that Jones was, in fact, getting paid $2 million for the introduction.

"I ACTUALLY LOVE JIM JONES AND I'LL NEVER GO FULL YE. But I had to tell y'all this story because it's wild," Ye concluded.

From there, Jim Jones responded on Thursday (March 20) by sharing a screenshot of an iPhone note with words that infer Ye is using cocaine.

"Ye sniffing Ye lol," Jones' screenshot reads. "But keep my name alive champ. We love KanYE."

He also captioned the photo with the implication that Ye is lying about the $2 million deal and threw in a plug for Jomo's At the Church Steps album for good measure.

"He's lucky I don't have time to talk bout lies right now only [the] truth lol lol lol. At the Church Steps out right now."

While the two apparently aren't on the best of terms at the moment over the alleged $2 million dollar introduction to Mr. Pink, Ye and Capo do, at least, acknowledge that they have mutual respect for each other. The spat follows a buddy-buddy moment in which just two months ago, Jim Jones gave Ye an iced-out Dipset chain while they were hanging out together in Japan.

Later in the day, Ye took aim at Playboi Carti, Ben Baller and DJ Khaled in another post. As for what brought about this sudden outburst, it seems that the i80 rapper-producer might be feeling a little sensitive after recent reports stated that his net worth is $50 million, despite his claims of being a billionaire.
