The Diplomats vs. DipSet: The Movement
Sometimes there is some confusion over the nature of The Diplomats vs. DipSet. The Diplomats is the rap group that is composed of the following members: Cam'Ron, Jim Jones, Juelz Santana, Freekey Zekey, Duke Da God, Hell Rell, J.R. Writer, 40 Cal., Katt Williams and the DipSkate duo. S.A.S. and Jha Jha are former Diplomats, but are still affiliated. DJ Moe Sticky, Chubbie Baby, Jay Bezel, and A-Mafia are considered second tier Diplomats.
On the other hand, DipSet is the movement that includes The Diplomats as well as all affiliate groups and artists. This includes Byrd Gang (Max B, NOE, Stack Bundles, Mel Matrix); Skull Gang (Jay Bezel, Lil' Jah); Writer's Block (Show-Gunna, Fred Money, DJ Plat, etc.); Purple City (Shiest Bubz, Un Kasa, Agallah, etc.); The Senate (Taj Mahal, Knight, Thump Mandoza, etc.); Eurogang (Rephan, S.A.S., etc.); and 145th Taliban (Luca Brazi, Star-Crimes, etc.).
Former Members
On November 9, 2007, Jha Jha announced in an interview that she is leaving the Dipset movement and The Diplomats crew.
"In all actuality, I was never DipSet son, never signed to DipSet, we thought we could make something work but nothing as far as a legal binding agreement transpired out of it.
We had creative differences so I decided the best thing for my career was to part ways." - she stated.
Sixshot also asked if the Dipset fans still showed her love and respect to what she answered:
"Yes they do, but like I said I'm not apart of DipSet nor the Diplomats anymore". [1]
S.A.S. has also recently parted ways with The Diplomats, but is still affiliated with Juelz Santana.
