    Cam’ron Inks $750K Memoir Deal With Simon & Schuster: “Hopefully It Drops February 2026”

    Dipset icon promises untold stories, music history, and lessons from a legendary career

    Cam’ron is officially adding “author” to his résumé after landing a $750,000 book deal with publishing giant Simon & Schuster. The Harlem rap legend confirmed that his upcoming memoir is already in the works, with a tentative release date set for February 2026.

    In a statement about the project, Cam’ron shared:
    “I’m happy to have this deal done. Hopefully the book will be released February of 2026 and that everyone can take something from my memoir when they read it.”

    The book — which has yet to be titled — will chart Killa Cam’s meteoric rise in Hip Hop, his role as a founding member of The Diplomats (Dipset), and his recent evolution into a popular sports media personality with his talk show It Is What It Is. Fans can also expect behind-the-scenes stories from some of the most iconic and controversial moments of his career.

    Cam’ron has recently been vocal about his songwriting contributions in the music industry, revealing that he originally wrote his classic “I Really Mean It” for Lil’ Kim — who turned it down.
    “That’s one of my biggest records… I’m happy she didn’t want the song,” he said.

    He also claimed credit for penning 3LW’s 2000 debut hit “No More (Baby I’ma Do Right),” telling fans:
    “That’s me. I penned that joint.”

    Meanwhile, former Dipset collaborator Jim Jones has thrown his own hat in the ring, claiming that he ghostwrote on “every one” of Cam’s albums — an assertion that adds more tension to their ongoing feud.

    As anticipation builds, Cam’s memoir promises to be a must-read for Hip Hop fans, revealing not just the glitz and grime of the rap game, but also the personal evolution of one of Harlem’s most influential voices.

    Yeezy’s Tokyo meetup with Jones adds fuel to the Dipset drama

    Kanye West seemingly chose a side in the ongoing feud between his former Roc-A-Fella labelmates, Cam’ron and Jim Jones. The longtime friends, now rivals, have been trading shots in a public beef that stretches back years, and Kanye’s recent actions suggest he’s backing Jones.

    While in Tokyo this past weekend, Kanye and Jim were spotted together at the club, sharing music, fashion, and even a post on social media. Jones shared a photo with Kanye, praising the rapper’s upcoming album Bully, calling it a potential “big problem” when released. He also dubbed Kanye “THE REAL BILLY GOAT” in a nod to his influence.

    Kanye, in turn, posted a photo of a Dipset chain draped over a jacket, signaling his allegiance with Jones and the Dipset crew. The G.O.O.D. The music mogul was seen rocking the chain during their club outing, further fueling speculation about his support for Capo in this ongoing feud.

    Meanwhile, Cam’ron has not publicly commented on Kanye’s latest move but has previously criticized Kanye’s public behavior, especially in 2023 when he called Kanye “crazy when it’s convenient.” Despite the tension, Cam’ron has made it clear he still has “love” for Kanye, although their relationship has had its ups and downs.

    Cam’ron’s recent remarks about Black actors and their career struggles have sparked a fiery response from actor Omar Gooding. During an episode of It Is What It Is, Cam discussed veteran actors’ challenges, such as waiting to be cast rather than creating their own projects. In referencing Gooding, alongside Ving Rhames, Cam said, “Y’all n-ggas sitting around. I would have saved my money and shot my shit by now.”

    Gooding, seemingly upset by the mention and the “junior” added to his name (likely a mix-up with Cuba Gooding Jr.), hit back with a diss track titled “Fix Ya Mouth” on January 25. In an Instagram post, he explained that while he’s not a fan of the word “diss,” he felt compelled to respond after mentioning his name. He also teased that the song was just a “teaser,” hinting at more.

    Cam’ron, ever the troll, responded with a playful message filled with crying-laughing emojis, saying, “Lo[l] my bad bro. I don’t want no smoke.”

    Cam’ron Blames LiAngelo Ball for Detroit Lions’ Playoff Loss

    Killa Points to Gelo’s Halftime Performance as the Cause of the Lions’ Elimination

    Cam’ron has sparked some controversy by pointing the finger at basketball player-turned-rapper LiAngelo Ball for the Detroit Lions’ shocking playoff loss to the Washington Commanders. Despite the Lions finishing the regular season with a league-best 15-2 record, they suffered a surprising 45-31 defeat after the halftime show, which featured Ball performing his viral hit, “Tweaker.”

    In a voice message shared on Instagram, Cam’ron, co-host of It Is What It Is, didn’t hold back his frustration: “Y’all was feeling y’all self and I had y’all back all season. And you know what fucked up everything? Y’all let Gelo Ball perform at halftime.” He went on to suggest that the Lions should’ve booked other Detroit-based artists like Eminem or Big Sean instead, adding, “Y’all n-ggas fucked it all up. And this is the result of it. Sorry.”

    Despite the harsh criticism, Cam’ron admitted he enjoys Ball’s music, specifically praising the single “Tweaker” and comparing it to early 2000s Cash Money sounds. However, he remains critical of Ball’s basketball skills and their previous beef.

    The Harlem rappers continue their ongoing back-and-forth as Jones fires back in a new song snippet

    Jim Jones isn’t holding back in his ongoing feud with Cam’ron and Ma$e. Just hours after the duo addressed him on their show It Is What It Is in a lengthy and mocking segment, Jones posted a snippet of a new song on Instagram that seems to respond to their remarks directly.

    During the It Is What It Is episode, Cam’ron ridiculed Jim Jones for admitting that Ma$e taught him how to rap. Cam, known for his brash commentary, claimed that Jones hadn’t “made” anything for himself, saying, “How you ran the whole organization? How you made Diplomats? N-gga, you ain’t made none of this!” Cam also aimed at Jones’s alleged influence on his friends, particularly Shotti (6ix9ine’s former manager) and Mel Matrix, who was involved in high-profile legal cases. Cam accused Jim of sending people on “dummy missions, ” resulting in disastrous legal outcomes.

    Jones quickly reacted, sharing a clip of his upcoming song with the caption: “I said wht I said after they laugh at th lies, the truth still hurts… Why would I waste free promo got me trending I’m tryin to drop.” In the song, Jones addresses the criticism, including Cam’s claim that his friends’ legal troubles resulted from Jones’s influence. He references several individuals involved in the case, rapping, “All my n-ggas do they time, you know my team body.” Jones also confidently reminds listeners of his success, explicitly addressing the claim that Ma$e taught him to rap, stating, “Youn-ggas taught me how to rap, and now I’m platinum.”

    50 Cent also weighed in on the situation, sharing Cam’s tirade on Instagram with a playful jab, telling Jim to “holla at Cam privately” and mocking the moment when Ma$e sat back eating popcorn during the drama.

    The ongoing back-and-forth between the three Harlem artists shows no signs of slowing down, with tensions continuing to rise in the public eye.

    DJ Envy Confirms Cam’ron’s Story About Jim Jones and Maino Confrontation

    Envy adds more details about the infamous club standoff

    DJ Envy has confirmed Cam’ron’s story about a confrontation between Jim Jones and Maino, adding some details to the wild tale. In an explosive rant earlier this week, Killa Cam revealed that Jim once confronted Maino for dissing him early in his career. According to Cam, Jim went to see Maino and told him, “Yo, wassup with all that saying my name?” Maino, who wasn’t having it, responded, “Who the fk you talking to?! Oh, you think I’m one of them n****s? You out your muthafkin’ mind!” From there, their relationship evolved, eventually becoming part of the Lobby Boyz duo.

    Speaking on The Breakfast Club, DJ Envy verified the story and revealed additional details from the night of the confrontation. Envy recalled that Maino, known for his bad-boy image at the time, was with three of his associates in the club, while Jim Jones arrived with about 15 people. When Jim walked down the stairs, Maino immediately told his crew, “Yo, everybody tuck your chains in,” signaling a tense situation.

    Envy described how Jim walked over to Maino and his crew, but the entire club reportedly scattered when he pulled a move like he was reaching for a gun. “Jim walked over, with all the dudes in front of Maino, and Maino went in his jacket like he had a gun. And when he fake pulled out like he had a gun, the club scattered. Everybody cleared out.”

    Envy was initially surprised, thinking Maino had somehow managed to sneak in a weapon despite the club’s metal detectors. However, Maino later admitted, “I lied. I was just bluffing.”

    This incident is part of the ongoing drama between Jim Jones and Cam’ron, with Jones recently teasing a fiery response to Cam’s remarks. He shared a snippet of a diss track where he warns, “N****s play with your name, then you remind them who you are.”
