\n\tCam\u2019ron has filed a lawsuit against J. Cole over the duo\u2019s \u201cReady \u201924\u201d collaboration, which landed on Cole\u2019s 2024 Might Delete Later <\/em>mixtape. <\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to court documents viewed by Billboard <\/em>on Tuesday (Oct. 28), Cam\u2019ron (Cameron Giles) sued his fellow rapper (Jermaine Cole) over allegedly violating the terms of an agreement pertaining to the track.<\/p>\n

\n\tCam\u2019ron claims that in exchange for his featured verse on the track, which was recorded in June 2022, Cole promised to join him on a separate song in the future or make an appearance on Cam\u2019ron\u2019s It Is What It Is <\/em>sports talk show.<\/p>\n

\n\tPer the court documents, Cam\u2019ron alleges he asked Cole to hop on a pair of pre-recorded tracks in September 2022, but that Cole said he preferred they team up on a fresh song from scratch. But, he says, the collaboration never materialized.<\/p>\n

\n\tCam\u2019ron claims he reached out to Cole again in July 2023 about joining him on It Is What It Is,<\/em> and alleges Cole agreed to appear on the show at a later date.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe suit goes on to state that Cam\u2019ron stayed in constant communication with Cole in the months leading up to Might Delete Later<\/em>\u2018s release in April 2024, but that the Dreamville boss repeatedly relayed he was too busy to appear on the podcast.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn addition to Cole, Universal Music Group (UMG) is listed as a defendant in the lawsuit. Cam\u2019ron claims he hasn\u2019t been compensated for the feature on \u201cReady \u201924\u201d and is seeking royalties and profits from the collaboration, an amount he estimates to be upwards of $500,000.<\/p>\n

\n\tRepresentatives for Cole and UMG did not immediately return Billboard<\/em>\u2018s requests for comment.<\/p>\n

\n\tProduced by T-Minus, \u201cReady \u201924\u201d reached No. 38 on the Billboard Hot 100. <\/p>\n
