In other J. Cole news, last October it was reported that Cam’ron was taking legal action against the artist over their song ‘Ready ’24’.

According to court documents, Cam’ron claimed he contributed lyrics 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.

He went on to claim 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.

J. Cole recently responded to the claim, and denied that they ever agreed to record the song in exchange for a future collaboration, as per Hip Hop DX.
