J. Cole Wants Judge To Toss Cam'ron's $500K Lawsuit

J. Cole has responded to Cam’ron’s $500,000 lawsuit against him for allegedly walking back an agreement to collaborate. Killa features on Cole’s track "Ready '24," which features on the North Carolina rapper’s 2024 mixtape Might Delete Later. The Dipset rapper alleges that he only agreed to collaborate with him on the condition that Cole returned the favor with a collaboration or appear on his podcast with Mase, It Is What It Is In court documents Cole’s legal team has argued that Cam’s lawsuit has no merit. In the letter requesting the dismissal of the lawsuit, J. Cole and his company, Cole World Inc., denied the allegations. Cole is seeking to have the lawsuit dismissed in its entirety with prejudice. The documents claim that Cam is not a joint author or co-owner of the song, and consented to its release. "The relief requested requires no response as there are no facts alleged therein," reads the motion. "To the extent any response is required, Defendants deny the allegations in the relief requested, object to the relief requested, and deny that Plaintiff is entitled to any of the relief requested in the Complaint (or any other relief whatsoever)." In the lead-up to the release of Cole’s latest album, The Fall-Off, Cam spoke about the lawsuit on an episode of Talk With Flee. "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.'" He said that Cole agreed to an interview on his podcast, but eventually pushed back on it because the timing wasn’t ideal for him amid 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.' 'All right, 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 is seeking $500,000 in damages and requests proper compensation for his contribution to "Ready '24."
