Kanye West has set his sights on Jim Jones as his latest target, airing out grievances in a fiery social media rant.

In an all-caps tweet, Ye didn't hold back, writing, "F*CK JIM JONES." The outburst stems from allegations that Jones pocketed a $2 million payment for introducing Ye to a crypto specialist known as Mr. Pink without ever informing him.

Ye never one to shy away from dramatic storytelling, likened the situation to a Quentin Tarantino film, tweeting: "I KNOW THIS GONNA SOUND LIKE SOME TERRENTINO [Tarantino] MOVIE BUT HERE GOES." He then detailed his frustration, claiming that Jones facilitated the introduction under the guise of friendship but secretly collected a multi-million-dollar fee behind his back. "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."

Jim was quick to clear the air:

Despite the explosive accusations, Ye surprisingly softened his tone toward the end of his rant. The Chicago rapper clarified that he actually has love for Jim Jones and promised not to go "full Ye mode" on him. Given Kanye's history of high-profile feuds and unpredictable social media behavior, it remains to be seen whether this is the last we'll hear about his beef with Capo or just the beginning of another wild chapter in Ye's ever-unfolding saga.

Recently, Kanye West was spotted in Tokyo with rapper Jim Jones, and their appearance has sparked curiosity among fans and media alike. The two were seen hanging out, with Jones also making a guest appearance during Kanye's interview with Justin LaBoy.
