While many rappers shun away from sitting down with outlets, Jim Jones is regularly on the interview circuit. The Rap icon doesn't have a problem chatting about his decades-long career with publications. Still, he will also shut down questions that can cause controversy—including his tension with other rappers.

“I don’t talk about dead people, and I don’t talk about people locked up," Jones stated. “If I say some sh*t, I wanna be able to say it to your face if I have to."
“That was one thing I always made it a point to do, so just keep that in mind for the next time you speak to a real n*gga and talk about dead people or somebody that’s locked up.”
Jones was told that in Chicago, where the interviewer is from, fans are curious about the long-standing beef. Still, the rapper was unmoved.
