Cam'ron Sues J. Cole for $500K in Unpaid Royalties Over 2024 Collab

In a recent legal dispute, rapper Cam'ron has filed a lawsuit against J. Cole, alleging that he is owed at least $500,000 in royalties from their 2024 collaboration "Ready '24." According to the complaint, the two artists first worked together on the 2021 song "95 South," which appeared on Cole's album The Off-Season.

In December 2021, Cole approached Cam'ron to collaborate on another track for a future album. Cam'ron agreed, but with several conditions: he would have control over the final song, receive proper credit, and Cole would collaborate with him on a future project, either a new single or an appearance on Cam'ron's podcast.

The two artists recorded "Ready '24" together in June 2022 at Electric Lady Studios in New York City. Cam'ron claims he told Cole during the session that he would not authorize the song's release until Cole joined him on a future project, to which Cole allegedly agreed.
