Shannon Sharpe and Jim Jones exchanged words on Nightcap over the bold claim that he “out-raps.”

Shannon Sharpe and Jim Jones had heated words over the “Bigger than Nas” comment, then made up on Nightcap

Shannon Sharpe checks Jim Jones on disrespecting Nas on Nightcap alongside co-host Ochocinco.

On Saturday (June 21), the Harlem rapper was a recent guest on the Nightcap podcast, hosted by Shannon Sharpe and Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson, where they both couldn't help but ask Jim Jones about the Nas comparison. He positioned himself as a bigger rapper than Esco during an appearance on Fat Joe and Jadakiss' podcast, which obviously caused a lot of flabbergasted debate.

“I know I made a little boo-boo when you're talking about the sales and all this type of s**t,” Jim Jones said of Nas.

Jim Jones continued. “Nas was nice when I was in high school. Nas was dope. We appreciate him. He had a little bit of a run. But Nas always came up second to [Jay-Z] and DMX and all these other people. He never had that type of influence on us, except for his first album. I used to want to dress like Nas... He had one of the illest albums of all time. [...] I'm a real fan of Nas. But he kind of lost me after the movie Belly and s**t like that.”

It all started when Jim Jones had previously claimed during a recent sit-down interview on the Joe & Jada Podcast that he became bigger than Nas, although he made sure to give the Queens legend his flowers.

Jim Jones said: “I was a superior Nas fan but when you get into the game you realize your idols be rivals. My son can’t tell me one Nas record. I got a hell of a catalog. Me, Jim Jones, myself, gold records, platinum records, no Diplomats, nobody else, me, Jim Jones.

“Check my track record, then check everybody else track record. Then go to Billboard and check all my entries then check all them n-ggas entries. I been spanking a lot of this shit. Pull up Nas’ Billboard entries, then pull up my Billboard entries.”
