During a conversation with Memphis Bleek on Artist 2 Artist, Jim Jones claimed that fellow veteran rapper Mase once asked Jay-Z for money to pay for a cab after a meeting for a potential record deal with Roc-a-Fella Records.
Per Complex, Jones, 49, claimed that the incident happened when they were young, adding that Mase asked Jay-Z for the cab money as they were leaving the Roc-a-Fella Records office.
“We get in there, it don’t work out,” Jones said. “And on the way out, n***a Mase asked the n***a Jay for some cab money back uptown.”
Jones’ claim left Bleek, who is a close friend and associate of Jay-Z, surprised. Jones also said that he would have preferred walking to asking Jay-Z for cab money.

“I’m only telling you because I never forgot that sh*t because I’m not that type of n***a,” the We Fly High rapper said. “I would’ve rather walk uptown before I ask these n****s in here for any type of cab money.”
Jones said that they should have left with the perception that they were “doing something,” but Mase asking for the cab money had an effect on that.
Jones also revealed that Jay-Z refused to give Mase, 50, the money. “Jay dubbed ’em, ‘I ain’t got no cab money for you n****s,” Jones claimed.
He added, “In my mind, I’m like, ‘We look like suckers walking outta here.'”
