During an appearance on the Joe Budden Podcast, Jim Jones recalls working with the late Stack Bundles and explains the origins behind the chorus of āWeather Manā featuring Bundles and Lil Wayne.
According to the Diplomats rapper, the chorus is a little too similar to the one Wayne gave Fat Joe for the hit single, āMake It Rain,ā which peaked at #13 on the Billboard Hot 100.
I wanted to fuck Weezy up over that record, man. But Weezyās my brother, you know I love him to death. But Weezy did some wacky shit when it came to that record. Remember he had a record with Fat Joe called āMake It Rain On āEmā? That was our hook. Now go listen to that record, and then pull up āWeather Man.ā

Jones remembers seeing Weezy in the club after āMake It Rainā took off in 2006 with the purpose of fighting the Young Money rapper. Wayne blamed the coincidence on the amount of drugs he consumes, but this didnāt soothe Jones.
Luckily for Weezy, fellow Diplomats member Juelz Santana āwho was once rumored to be making a joint album with Wayne ā was present and served as the common denominator and prevented things from getting out of hand.
I was ready to take it to the next level and Juelz really⦠Iāll never forget it. It was the MTV Awards show. ⦠We was in the China Club when I seen him. And the homies just finished throwing somebody off the balcony in that bitch. Iāll never forget that day. Right in front of Weezy.

Despite the discord over āWeather Man,ā Lil Wayne has enjoyed a fruitful relationship with Dipset, collaborating with Jones, Santana, and Cam’ron on numerous songs.
