Cam'ron has revealed Suge Knight once confronted him over a 2Pac sample that appeared on his debut album, Come Home With Me.
On the latest episode of Talk With Flee, Killa Cam reflected on Suge having a bone to pick with him about sampling 2Pac's "Ambitionz Az a Ridah" on his own track, "Live My Life (Leave Me Alone)." According to Cam, the confrontation wasn't much of a serious situation as he quickly cleared up the confusion that had Suge upset.
"To me, the Suge Knight conversation wasn't a tough situation; it was more of a conversation that got a little aggressive, and then it wasn't aggressive," recalled Cam. "We were outside the Sentry Club in L.A. if I'm not mistaken... [Suge] came over to us with probably about five, six, seven people, and he was like, 'Yo, you owe me money.'"
He continued, "I was like, 'Owe you money? For what?' He was like, 'You used one of my beats.' And I'm like, 'I don't know what beat you're talking about.' He was talking about 2Pac's beat. Daz [Dillinger] had actually done the beat, and Daz played it over for me in the studio. [Suge] was like, 'Ambitionz Az a Ridah,' the 2Pac record.' I'm like, 'Oh, Daz came and played that over for me. I don't owe you anything.' He started laughing and said, 'Daz can't control shit, Daz don't own nothing. I own it.'"
The Harlem native then claimed Suge tried to strong-arm him by bringing up someone he thought was a part of his crew and claiming he harmed them. Cam added that he didn't budge and claimed Suge backed down and said, "You know what? Don't even worry about it, little homie. We good, it's all good."
This isn't the first time Cam has told this story, as he did on his 2019 track "Fast Lane." In the song, Cam rapped about his friend Tito pulling out a knife during the confrontation as self-defense in case things got out of hand.
"Walked up out of [the club], got approached by Suge Knight / He said I owed him money, started screwin' / I said, 'No, I don't, homie, now tell me what we doin'?' / He said, 'How you figure?' I said, 'I said so' / Tito flicked his knife, he was ready to go to death row / I'm talkin' kamikaze, but we resolved it calmly / Everything I say is truth, I put that on my mommy," rapped Cam.
