Jim Jones recently discussed being on stage with Drake for his Apollo shows. He made Drake an honorary member of Dipset. Jim said, “@champagnepapi official 5th member of #DIPSet.” He continued, “U did that thnku bless up to the whole #OVO.” When Drake took the stage with Dipset, he said, “These guys right here from Harlem made us dress different, talk different, walk different, rap different — all the way in Canada.”
Dipset, known as The Diplomats, was formed in the late ’90s by Cam’ron, Jim Jones, and Freekey Zekey. Juelz Santana joined a few years later. With Cam’ron leading the charge, they released a bevy of classic group and solo albums in the early 2000s.
