Kanye West has seemingly weighed in on the escalating feud between Jim Jones and Camron

Kanye West has seemingly weighed in on the escalating feud between Jim Jones and Camron and picked a side between his two former Roc-A-Fella labelmates.
The Dipset cohorts have been publicly beefing in recent weeks, taking shots at each other over unresolved issues that date back years.
Despite his past collaborations with Killa Cam, Kanye linked up with Jim Jones in Tokyo this past weekend where they were seen hitting the club, listening to music and looking over clothes together.
The We Fly High hitmaker posted a picture on Instagram of the visit and wrote in the caption: We out here playin BULLY BALL only shot u dont make is th shot u dont take. This is about believing in urself when no one else will.
Im a student and A teacher this past 5 days I was th student I learned so much about character never judge unless u wearing a black robe.
Capo then bigged up Yes forthcoming album Bully by adding: Bully this album so crazy I wouldnt drop if I was yall or drop now cause when he drops this is gone b a big problem. We not takin no for answers we are th BULLY.
Safe to say @ye back aka THE REAL BILLY GOAT pun intended.
Yeezy himself posted a picture of a Dipset chain (which he wore in Jones aforementioned photo) draped over a jacket with a fur hood and wrote: DIPSET.
The G.O.O.D. Music also rocked the neckpiece while hitting a club with Capo in the Japanese capital.
While Camron has yet to weigh in on the intriguing meet-up, he has previously commented on Kanye Wests wild public outbursts.
He said on the All the Smoke podcast in 2023: Kanye, he play crazy with who he wanna play crazy with, you know what Im saying? That n-ggas crazy when its convenient.

Kanye Wests daughter North West is spitting some bars on FKA twigs new song Childlike Things

Kanye Wests daughter North West is spitting some bars on FKA twigs new song Childlike Things, and shes doing it in Japanese.
The track, released on Friday (January 24), appears on FKAs new album EUSEXUA.
Per Genius, Norths verse translates as: Hello/ My name is North-chan/ From California to Tokyo/ Jesus, the King/ Praise the Lord/ Jesus is the one and only true God (You need to know).
Last year, North announced that she was planning her own debut album, with a title inspired by her dads own breakthrough project.
At a Vultures 2 listening event in Phoenix last March, North stood side by side with her father at the center of the stage as she made the announcement.
Ive been working on an album and it is called Elementary School Dropout, the 10-year-old said to a roar from the crowd.
The name is, of course, a nod to Kanyes 2004 landmark debut The College Dropout.
The reveal came shortly after North made her music debut on her father and Ty Dolla $igns collaborative project Vultures 1, featuring prominently on Talking.
The track peaked at No. 30 on the Billboard Hot 100, making her one of the youngest ever artists to appear on the chart.
On the song, North raps: I love it here/ Were gonna take over another year/ Its your bestie, Miss, Miss Westie/ Dont try to test me/ Its gonna get messy/ Just, just bless me, bless me/ Its your bestie, Miss, Miss Westie.
North wasnt the only West child at the listening event. Kanye West also brought out his two youngest children, Psalm and Chicago, while their older sister performed Talking.
