The big three of rap and litigation seem to be going hand in hand—at least this year. After Drake recently suffered a defeat in his legal battle with UMG, another member of the Big Three now finds himself in hot water. That’s right; J. Cole was just sued by Cam’ron.
According to a news report from TMZ (which claims to have reviewed documents related to the story), Camron has sought legal recourse over his deal with J. Cole. According to him, he composed a poem and placed it in Cole’s “Ready ’24” with the promise of future collaboration.
In fact, even appearing on Camron’s podcast would be enough. However, J. Cole repeatedly said he was unavailable and cooperation remained an unfulfilled promise, according to Camron. Now, Cam’ron is taking back what he feels is rightfully his: co-writing rights to the song.
It also means he will receive monetary compensation for his share of the profits from the song, which Camron estimates will be as high as $500,000. What do you think about this situation?
