What started as a dream collab has turned into hip-hop’s latest soap opera. Cam’ron is officially suing J. Cole, saying Cole broke a promise after their 2024 track “Ready ’24.”
Here’s the breakdown: Cam says he dropped his verse for free, but only because Cole agreed to appear on his show It Is What It Is or jump on one of his future songs. Fast-forward a year—no Cole, no collab, no appearance. So now, Cam wants legal credit and cash from the song’s profits.
The track appeared on Cole’s Might Delete Later mixtape, which fans loved for its raw sound and honesty. But this behind-the-scenes beef adds a new twist to the story. Cole hasn’t responded yet, but fans are already choosing sides online.
Some say Cam’s right—business is business. Others argue he should’ve gotten everything in writing. Either way, it’s wild seeing two respected rappers in this kind of drama.
J. Cole, meanwhile, seems focused elsewhere. His blog The Algorithm and upcoming The Fall Off album have fans waiting for new music—not lawsuits. Whether they settle or go to court, this story proves one thing: in hip-hop, even the realest collabs can turn complicated.
