More Than Music: Dipset's 10 Craziest Moments

The Moment: During a war of words with 50 Cent in May 2007, Cam filmed a now-infamous YouTube video of him standing in front of a swimming pool and calling for a "hot summer." But shortly after he released the clip, Fif responded by saying that he felt the beef had become irrelevant. "You're talking about a guy who sold 270,000 [copies of] his last record," he said. "I sold 9.8 million my last record. I'm not going to exhaust my audience by talking about somebody they have no interest in." The beef fizzled out over the course of the next few months and Cam disappeared off the scene for the next year. It was later revealed that he was caring for his ailing mother during his hiatus.

The Moment: In May 2007, Jim Jones came and out told Miss Info—a longtime friend and confidant of the crew—that he was no longer on speaking terms with Cam. "Me and Cam'Ron haven't spoken to each other in a year," he said. "I kept quiet out of loyalty. I felt like if we can't be friends, then at least we can do business together...But I'm through with being in hot water because of you. We still the Diplomats. We worked too hard to achieve our own success and now we're gonna do something new."

The Moment: After seemingly disappearing off the face of the Earth for more than a year following his beef with 50 Cent and his now-public beef with Jim Jones, Cam'Ron reemerged in  August 2008 to reveal that he had "sold " Juelz Santana's recording contracting for $2 million. It actually sounded a lot worse than it was, though, as the move was simply designed to remove all the red tape 'Elz had been encountering while recording his third album, Born to Lose, Built to Win.

The Moment: Following nearly three years apart, Jim Jones revealed that he had reunited with Cam'Ron during an April 2010 interview with Miss Info. He also issued a public apology to Cam for not handling their separation better. "I apologize for being a rude brother," he said. "For saying things publicly without first trying to handle them privately. I apologize for not leading by example because what I didn't realize at the time, I was venting but it wasn't all about me. There were other people whose dreams were also part of this movement."
