J. Cole has been issued a lawsuit by Cam’ron, who broke down the situation on a new episode of Talk With Flee.
Last year, Cam announced that he’d be suing The Fall-Off rapper for allegedly walking back his agreement to collaborate on a song or appear on podcast It Is What It Is.
Cam claimed that the commitment followed his appearance on Cole’s “Ready ‘24” from mixtape, Might Delete Later.
Two days ahead of Cole releasing The Fall-Off, Cam further explained his interaction with the two-time Grammy winner, which led to him filing a lawsuit.
"Me and J. Cole are cool, or was cool. This is exactly what happened. Being a man is keeping your word," Cam said on Talk With Flee. "And I know everybody's busy and everybody has things to do. But if I give you my word four or five times, I got to do it.
"So on his first project he did, I did an intro for him. ... I told him I may need a verse whenever I get a project done. He said, 'Cool,'" Cam explained. "He had another project. I did a record in 20 minutes. I knocked that shit out and went off about my business."
When Cam doubled back for a Cole verse, the Dreamville founder allegedly said that he needed to get his "chakras" aligned before he could put his "all into it."
"OK, let's put your all into it. Give me that first," Cam said. "You called me twice to do something, and I did it. One day you have 48 hours to do it. Then I knocked the other thing out as soon as I came to New York, because you ain't want to sell me your record. You want to be in the studio with me. I knocked it out. Cool, you don't give me the record."
Eventually, Cam got Cole to agree to an interview, which The Off-Season artist allegedly pushed back on twice during his brief feud with Kendrick Lamar.
"'I can't do it now because I don't feel like talking about that right now,'" Cam recalled Cole saying at the time. "I said, 'Look, I'll do the interview. I won't even bring that up.' He says, 'Nah, I can't do no interview and not talk about it.' 'Allmright, well, when can I get the interview?' 'Yo, February definite. February, I'm dead ass on February.' February come. 'Yo, what's up?' 'Oh, shit. Yo, I'm still working, man.'"
Cam’ron now wants Cole to pay $500,000 for the missed appearances, in addition to receiving proper compensation for “Ready ‘24” and being recognized as co-songwriter.
