Rapper and podcaster Cam’Ron is ready to talk about why he is suing J. Cole after filing a lawsuit back in November 2025.

On an upcoming episode of his Revolt’s Talk With Flee podcast, the Harlem native laid out his side of the dispute with measured candor and pointed frustration. Cam originally sidestepped the situation when asked by co-hosts last year.

“Me and J. Cole are cool, or was cool,” Cam’Ron said at the start, framing the situation as a matter of principle rather than personal conflict.

For him, the issue comes down to follow-through. “Being a man is keeping your word,” he said, referring to the traditional manhood approach to business.

Cam’Ron traced the breakdown back to Cole’s early career. He recalled recording an intro for Cole’s first project, without hesitation or delay. In return, Cam’Ron said he asked for one thing: a verse if he ever needed it. “He said cool,” Cam’Ron remembered.

That understanding, he said, never materialized. When Cole later requested another contribution, Cam’Ron said he delivered quickly. “I did a record in 20 minutes,” he said, describing the urgency as respect. When Cam’Ron asked for his verse, the tone changed.

Cam’Ron described repeated delays tied to Cole’s creative process. He mocked the explanations with humor, quoting Cole’s reasoning as, “the chakras ain’t right right now and the moon gotta align with the stars.” Cam’Ron pushed back internally. “Okay, let’s put your all into it,” he said.

When the verse stalled, Cam’Ron shifted strategies. He proposed an interview instead. Cole agreed, then postponed. June turned into October. October became February. Each date passed without resolution.

The situation stalled further during Cole’s public tension with Kendrick Lamar. Cole declined to speak publicly. Cam offered a compromise, promising to avoid the topic. Cole refused, saying he could not do an interview without addressing it.

By February, Cam said nothing had changed. “Oh shit, I’m still working, man,” Cole told him.

Cam’Ron framed the lawsuit as accountability, not resentment. In his telling, the issue remains simple. Commitments were made. Commitments were missed.
