Cam’ron Details Lawsuit Against J. Cole Over Unfulfilled Collaboration Promises

Cam’ron has publicly addressed his lawsuit against J. Cole, alleging broken promises regarding their collaboration on the track “Ready ’24.” The Harlem rapper claims Cole failed to fulfill agreements made in exchange for Cam’ron’s contribution to the song.

The Dispute Over “Ready ’24”

In October 2025, Cam’ron filed a lawsuit against J. Cole, stemming from their work on “Ready ’24,” which originally appeared on Cole’s 2024 mixtape, Might Delete Later. According to reports, Cam’ron asserts that Cole promised either a verse for one of his own songs or an appearance on Cam’ron’s “It Is What It Is” podcast in return for his verse on “Ready ‘24.”

Alleged Broken Promises and Excuses

Cam’ron stated that when the promised favor wasn’t delivered, he pursued legal action, seeking co-writer credit and an accounting of the song’s earnings. He explained on his “Talk With Flee” podcast that Cole initially offered explanations involving astrological alignments and creative processes.

“I’m exaggerating, but he’s like, ‘The chakra ain’t right right now. The moon not aligned with the stars, and when I write, I put my all into it,’” Cam’ron recounted.

When Cam’ron suggested an interview as an alternative, Cole allegedly cited the ongoing feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, and delays with his album, The Fall-Off, as reasons for declining. Cam’ron claimed Cole stated, “I can’t do it now because I don’t feel like talking about [Lamar] right now.”

Financial Claims and Current Status

Frustrated by the lack of progress, Cam’ron is now seeking approximately $500,000, in addition to co-writing credit, for the trouble caused by the unfulfilled promises. As of February 16, 2026, J. Cole has not publicly responded to Cam’ron’s claims.

SiriusXM Studios Visit

Cam’ron visited SiriusXM Studios in Miami Beach, Florida, on December 3, 2025. The novel Miami studios, located in the Starwood Capital building on Collins Avenue, include a 50-seat performance space and artist-first recording studios.
