Cam’ron is suing J. Cole over their song “Ready ‘24.”

According to court documents reviewed by Complex, Cam’ron claimed he contributed lyrics and a verse to the track, which appeared on Cole’s 2024 mixtape Might Delete Later, in exchange for Cole’s alleged promise to either collaborate with him on another project or appear on Cam’ron’s podcast, It Is What It Is.

Cam claimed that after the song was recorded in 2022, Cole failed to follow through on his commitment over the next two years, repeatedly saying he was unavailable for the podcast and never moving forward with another collaboration.

The court documents note that Cole allegedly offered to collaborate with Cam on songs that he had already recorded, but Cam wanted to partner on an original piece that never materialized.

Cam'ron also contended that he hasn’t been properly compensated for his part in on “Ready ‘24" and asked a judge to recognize him as a co-author of the track. The New York rapper wants a full accounting of the song’s earnings, which he believes exceeds $500,000.
