Malice OBLITERATES Jim Jones on New Clipse Track — Nas Bar Lights Internet on Fire, Jim Jones Spirals LIVE
The Clipse are officially back — and they didn’t come to play. After more than a decade since their last full-length release, Malice and Pusha T have returned with a vengeance on their new album “Funeral Season”—and track five, titled “Kingmakers”, is already being called one of the most vicious diss records of the decade.
At the heart of the firestorm?
A jaw-dropping verse from Malice that directly targets Jim Jones, drags in Nas, and leaves the internet reeling.
“You barked up the throne, now the rope’s in your hand /
You mocked the Godson, now He’s ghostin’ your brand.”
Just those two lines have already been reposted over 3 million times across platforms, sparking fan theories, industry reactions, and what some are calling “the lyrical burial of Jim Jones.”
🔥 Where Did This Come From?
To understand the diss, we need to rewind to the drama that’s been simmering under the surface.
Earlier this year, Jim Jones publicly questioned Pusha T’s legacy, downplaying his spot on Billboard’s “Top 50 Rappers” list. On The Breakfast Club, Jim claimed:
“I don’t know one club that ever played a Pusha T record. He not in my top 50.”
The comments sparked heated debates across hip-hop media, but the Clipse stayed mostly silent—until now.
On “Kingmakers”, Malice clearly takes the gloves off. While Pusha delivers the ice-cold opener, it’s Malice’s surgical second verse that has everyone talking.
“You the Dipset echo, a shadow with chains /
While Nas built empires, you just posted for fame.”
This line, which appears to defend Nas while simultaneously dismantling Jim’s credibility, has been seen as both a warning shot and a mic drop.
🎤 The Internet Explodes
Once the track dropped at midnight, rap Twitter went into a frenzy.
-
Joe Budden tweeted: “Malice blacked out. He hasn’t rapped in 10 years and just bodied half the game.”
-
Hot 97‘s Ebro Darden posted: “Jim should’ve stayed quiet. That was different.”
-
Even Nas liked a fan post that said: “Malice said what Nas would never need to.”

Fans began trending hashtags like #RIPJimVerse, #Kingmakers, and #MaliceReturned within the first few hours of release.
😬 Jim Jones Responds… Poorly
By 9:00 a.m., Jim Jones had already gone on Instagram Live, pacing shirtless and visibly agitated, claiming:
“Ain’t nobody scared of no washed-up rapper comin’ back for relevance. This the same Malice that found God and disappeared. Don’t come preaching war now.”
But fans were quick to notice: Jones never addressed the actual bars, nor did he fire back musically.
“If you can’t respond with bars, don’t talk,” one commenter wrote. “Malice didn’t just diss you—he ended you.”
🤐 Is This the Start of Something Bigger?
While Malice has historically taken a step back from rap to focus on his faith and spiritual journey, his verse on “Kingmakers” proves his pen is as sharp as ever — and he’s not afraid to get his hands dirty when it counts.
Pusha T’s verse also carries subtle jabs, but clearly lets Malice take the spotlight. Industry insiders say the brothers have more smoke coming, and there may be a part two to the diss already recorded.

Even Nas’s team is rumored to be aware of the track, and while the legend himself has yet to issue a formal statement, fans are speculating this could ignite a full-on wave of legacy rappers clapping back at newer artists who disrespect their status.
🎧 The Track That Shook the Culture
“Kingmakers” is already being called one of the boldest rap statements of 2025, and some believe it might mark a permanent return for Malice—not just spiritually, but musically.
“This wasn’t just a diss,” one Complex writer posted. “This was a resurrection—and a warning.”
One thing’s for sure: Jim Jones poked the wrong bear.
And Malice?
He’s rapping like he never left… and like he never plans to again.
