What's Happening?
J. Cole has responded to a lawsuit filed by Cam’ron, who claims he was denied full credit and compensation for his contribution to the song 'Ready '24'. Cam’ron alleges that J. Cole also failed to fulfill a promise to appear on his podcast or a future single. In his legal response, J. Cole denies making any such promises and asserts that Cam’ron was happy to be featured on the track, which was beneficial to his career. The lawsuit, filed last fall, seeks to address these grievances, but J. Cole's attorneys argue that Cam’ron's demands were unreasonable and not agreed upon.
