Cam alleged that Cole said he would contribute a feature in return for his contributions to the Might Delete Later song. Or if that didn’t work, the Fayetteville native allegedly promised to appear on It Is What It Is, his other talk show with Ma$e.

Moreover, Cam’ron alleged he was owed roughly $500,000 in royalties for the aforementioned collab. But none of those things came to fruition, causing him to go after J. Cole legally.

The latter’s lawyers didn’t respond to the suit until last month, just a few days after The Fall-Off‘s release. They slammed Cam’ron by firing back with: “It was only after the release of ‘Ready ‘24’ that he began to demand unreasonable conditions never agreed to by Cole, or an excessive fee inconsistent with industry standards for a featured performance, followed by the filing of this lawsuit without notice to publicly disparage Cole as leverage.”

Admittedly, the “Two Six” MC was “disappointed” in Cam’s lawsuit, explaining that he would’ve been fine with talking things out in the clip caught by Kurrco.

J. Cole’s Interview With Cam’ron

On top of that, Cole came clean that it was a hit to his ego. “When the lawsuit came out, I was like, ‘Come on Cam’ … My ego reaction is like, quietly, I’m like, ‘f*ck this n****.'” However, those negative emotions didn’t last too long.

“But quickly I’m like, ‘Nah I get it though,'” he added while saying he could understand that Cam must’ve felt like he was “getting the runaround.”

Cam’ron responded in an appreciative manner to Cole’s explanation while also claiming that he wasn’t really going to follow through.

He explains, “Of course it was never gonna go anywhere, but for me it was like, ‘I need to get this n**** attention.'” It’s a bit interesting to hear this as Cam seemed pretty peeved about the whole situation not too long ago.

But it seems their relationship is trending in the right direction again which is great to see.

Elsewhere, future listeners can expect more of J. Cole’s thoughts on the Drake and Kendrick Lamar battle. Overall, he was saddened and frustrated by the divide it was creating/has created. “The world became like politics, you either Democrat or Republican. You either Kendrick, or you Drake… I was disgusted both ways, damn near.”

“I genuinely love these n****s, but I’m not gonna act like we’ve been communicating and talking,” Cole admitted. “I’ve had conversations with them post-everything, but it’s not like it’s a lot. That’s me not knowing where they at, me assuming because I’ve heard X, Y, and Z, but it has nothing to do with how I actually feel. I genuinely love these n****s. I be wanting to shoot off a text. I ain’t gon’ lie. Even saying that on the mic is kinda lame to me, but it is my truth.”

J. Cole, Drake, & Kendrick Lamar’s Viral Beef

Drama between the three began when Lamar dissed Drake and Cole on Future and Metro Boomin’s track, “Like That.” While the move led to a drawn-out battle with Drake, Cole bowed out of the feud almost immediately. In doing so, he apologized for dissing Lamar at his Dreamville Festival.

Further speaking about the drama in his discussion with Cam’ron, Cole vented about the public’s reaction to Lamar and Drake’s battle. “The world became like politics, you either Democrat or Republican. You either Kendrick, or you Drake,” Cole explained. “I was disgusted both ways, damn near.”

Cole added: “The ‘out of hand’ that to me is disgusting, how people try to use that opportunity to show how they really felt about Drake the whole time, or just to pile on and tear this dude down and create a narrative as if he’s not great. It was a whole campaign.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Cole and Cam’ron discussed their legal battle over their collaboration, “Ready ‘24.” Cam filed a lawsuit against Cole for allegedly failing to complete his end of their agreement in exchange for his contribution to the track. The full episode of Talk With Flee will be releasing on Tuesday night.

Since that time, fans have felt betrayed by Cole and his apology. Those same fans have been looking for answers that were largely found on The Fall-Off. Furthermore, Cole recently spoke to Nadeska, where he offered some further commentary on the now-famous apology.

On Monday, some clips of Cole’s upcoming conversation with Cam’ron hit the internet. In these clips, Cole is talking at length about the feud and his least favorite parts of it. For instance, he pointed out his disgust with the tribalism surrounding the beef.

In Cole’s mind, Kendrick and Drake are both phenomenal artists. He didn’t appreciate how some were so quick to try to tear down Drizzy and his legacy. As far as ICEMAN is concerned, Cole is still extremely excited.

J. Cole Eager For ICEMAN

“Man I hope Iceman go crazy,” Cole said matter-of-factly. It was the kind of comment that you would expect from Cole, who just appreciates good music. He isn’t with all of the narratives. While some fans might roll their eyes at this, it is clear that Cole stands by his values, regardless of who might be involved.

There are certainly some Drake and Kendrick fans who won’t buy what he is selling here. After all, some believe he is a fence-sitter who will do anything to keep both sides happy. However, it is clear to us that he just wants to see his friends thrive.

Whether or not ICEMAN will “go crazy” is something that very much remains to be seen. The fans are hoping that this prediction comes true. It’s been 200 days since the last ICEMAN update, and the fans want to hear something new, very soon.

Presumably during her March 21 show in Chicago, Cardi took aim at her ex-husband by altering a specific lyric on “Bongos.” On the fourth verse of that Megan Thee Stallion collaboration, the mother of four raps, “My BD is a Migo / B*tch, your BD is a zero.”

But now that they have parted ways, that line really doesn’t bode well for the superstar. So, she decided to use it to her advantage in a different way.

As caught by Live Bitez, Cardi B instead says in the clip, “My BD is a b*tch.” This is drawing a bevy of reactions both positive and negative.

“Like you chose them tf..” one annoyed user writes in the comments section. Another echoes that sentiment. “Yet she had a baby from him …. [thinking emoji] hmmmm always them never her.”

Tasha K’s Debt To Cardi B

However, there are plenty cosigning this maneuver. “She said what she said and?!” A fourth types, “lol she definitely did and I felt that in my soul.”

Overall, no matter what, Cardi B’s past with Offset and Stefon Diggs are always going to be topics of conversation. That’s due to the simple fact that she’s a massive star and folks like her are always going to draw attention to themselves, especially with demonstrative statements like the one she just made.

But to get more specific, the hitmaker’s handling of said relationships is why this topic continues to drive engagement. The public callouts, roasts, and divorce caused division amongst the general public, with living proof being this recent stunt onstage.

Another issue that’s still active for Cardi B is her lawsuit against Tasha K. The latter still has to satisfy a $3.9 million judgment following the former’s successful defamation filing from 2022.

To help pay it, Tasha K launched a GoFundMe page which interestingly received an alleged $3,000 donation from Nicki Minaj. The news commentator took to her socials to thank Cardi’s biggest foe for her alleged generosity.

“Thank you to the Queen @NICKIMINAJ for the GENEROUS donation on Tik Tok today! God is Good! All the time!”

Hamilton is entering the final years of his career, and his switch from Mercedes to Ferrari certainly turned some heads. However, his relationship with Kim Kardashian has certainly created a discourse supernova on social media. From Kanye fans to F1 fans, everyone seems to have an opinion on the new couple.

That is only going to be multiplied thanks to the new images coming out of Tokyo. As you can see below, Hamilton is in some sort of store next to Kanye West’s son, Saint. This is the first time we have seen Hamilton photographed with Kim’s children.

Overall, it just goes to show that the relationship is getting very serious. With Saint West in Japan, it could very well mean that Kim and the kids will be in the Paddock for this weekend’s Grand Prix.

Lewis Hamilton Out And About With Saint West

With that being said, fans are starting to sound off on social media about all of this. Of course, the introduction of Lewis into the kids’ lives is starting to create some questions. For instance, some feel as though it is too soon, and a Pete Davidson situation all over again.

However, others feel as though this is a positive development. After all, Lewis is one of the greatest race car drivers of all time, and is a great role model. Not to mention, we’re sure being around fast race cars is pretty damn cool for a young kid.

The Internet Reacts

Below, you can find a slew of internet reactions to the recent photo. Many of which seem to take aim at Kanye and how he might react to all of this. At this time, Ye has not made any comments about Kim’s relationship with Lewis Hamilton.

When AkademiksTV pointed out the milestone on X (formerly Twitter), fans in the replies complained about how long it’s been since a major update on the album. “This season release schedule is painful,” one user wrote. Another added: “Over half a year is crazy.”

When Is Drake Releasing “Iceman”?

Drake still hasn’t confirmed a release date for Iceman, but he has hinted that it will drop at some point in 2026. He also told Complex in November that he wanted to host at least one more Iceman livestream episode before releasing the album. “The finale will be our best work,” he said at the time.

DJ Akademiks recently reported that Drake’s busy schedule is causing the delay. “He said ‘AK, when I was doing this episode sh*t, I had to really get all these things done and get in between me doing these shows in all these countries, which is pretty tough. Now I’m home, I’m locked in. I’m working. Now is work.’ I think that’s the last official cookup to whatever the album is,” he said during a livestream, earlier this month.

Akademiks added that there’s already been several iterations of the project as well. He explained: “I think there’s three versions of the cookup, in my opinion, and the third version of the cookup came after he came off tour. That’s the only thing he told me.”

Despite the delay, Drake has continued to hint at Iceman on Instagram in recent weeks. On March 3, he shared a picture of the phrase, “Warning Iceman,” over a blue background. “What I Was Doing When You Thought I Was Crying,” he added the caption.

During the conversation, Cam’ron made sure to bring up the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef. This was always going to be a no-brainer. While Cole already spoke about the situation with Nadeska, there are still certain aspects that fans want to know about.

In one clip making the rounds on social media, Cole was adamant about how much he felt “disgusted” by the tribalism on both sides. He likened the beef to an election where people are siding with Democrats and Republicans.

“The world became like politics, you either Democrat or Republican. You either Kendrick, or you Drake,” Cole explained. “I was disgusted both ways, damn near.”

Read More: Afroman Beat The Case—So Where Are Free Speech Warriors When Hip-Hop’s On Trial?

Cole went on to say that he felt as though the entire beef was becoming some sort of campaign for people to tear down Drake. He noted that Drake is great, and people were trying to create narratives otherwise.

“The ‘out of hand’ that to me is disgusting, how people try to use that opportunity to show how they really felt about Drake the whole time, or just to pile on and tear this dude down and create a narrative as if he’s not great. It was a whole campaign,” Cole continued.

Overall, it is clear that Cole saw where things were going and decided that the best course of action was to bow out entirely. It’s hard to blame him, even if some fans still feel betrayed by his apology.

We are two years removed from the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef, but still, it remains a part of the larger narrative. While Lamar has moved on, Drake is still picking up the pieces as he looks to release ICEMAN.

Unfortunately, over the years, the two have grown apart. Much of the tension has to do with the documentary, The Last Dance. In this docuseries, Michael Jordan is portrayed as a God of sorts. Meanwhile, Pippen is portrayed in a negative light at times. In fact, there are multiple passages where he is shown as a quitter.

Of course, Pippen did not appreciate this portrayal. He has had some negative words for Jordan over the years. Furthermore, with MJ’s son dating Pippen’s ex-wife, Larsa Pippen, for a while, things got even murkier.

Now, Pippen is the new spokesperson for the return of Mr. Pibb, a competitor to Dr. Pepper. In a new advertisement for the soda, Pippen takes shots at Dr. Pepper, but really, those shots are also being directed towards Jordan.

Scottie Pippen Disses Michael Jordan

“When something has been considered second-best for so long, we just blindly accept it as gospel,” Pippen said. “A decade-long plot built on marketing, social media, and multi-part documentaries.”

It is easy to read the subtext here. Firstly, the second-best motif is about Pippen being seen as the Robin to MJ’s Jordan. Secondly, the multi-part documentaries are an ode to The Last Dance.

If one thing is for certain, it is that the 10-part ESPN docuseries still weighs on Pippen. It is one of those things that he will likely never get over. Quite frankly, we don’t blame him. The way the Hall of Famer’s back injury and contract negotiations were portrayed was less-than-positive.

Meanwhile, MJ has all the glory and is currently experiencing euphoria with his NASCAR team, 23XI Racing. They won at Darlington this past weekend to notch their fourth win in six races this season. It’s just yet another reason for Jordan to feel superior.

“I want to tell you the facts. I’ve worked hard to make my name, my reputation. I’ve worked hard, I’ve fought for this country,” Dlamini said in a since-deleted video on Instagram. “… I’m not going to be used by a white woman with three kids. I was feeding those kids with the money of ‘Sarafina.’ I love my kids, and I took care of her kids. Three white kids; they hated me.”

“That white woman brainwashed my baby, that I left her,” he added. ” I never left my kid. She played the cards, because of being influenced by her mother. She came to South Africa. She’s got power to see me, and she faked it.”

Doja Cat’s South African Concert

With Deborah Sawyer raising Doja Cat in the United States, she and Dlamini don’t have a close relationship. The latest drama began when Doja hopped on TikTok, last week, and claimed that Dlamini declined an invitation to her recent concert in South Africa. “I was messaging my father, because he’s here in Africa, and he said he couldn’t make it to my show because I don’t message him enough, and I didn’t call him on WhatsApp,” she said.

From there, she revealed that she decided to prank him as revenge. “So, I sent him gay p*rn, and said if you go to this link, you can get a ticket… and he said ‘I will send this to my management, my management will handle all of this. At the moment I’m just very busy doing costume and rehearsal,” she added.

Doja Cat ended up performing at The SunBet Arena in Pretoria on March 20. The show was part of her ongoing Tour Ma Vie World Tour. The concerts are in support of her fifth studio album Vie.

If you didn’t know, Minaj’s manager is industry titan, Debra Antney, who’s also known for being Waka Flocka Flame’s mother. She heads Mizay Entertainment and over the course of her career, she’s assisted a lot of superstar names including her own son, Gucci Mane, and more.

However, Minaj may no longer be a part of that list thanks to a reported difference in political views. The rapper has yet to respond to this claim; however, Antney has, doing so in recent hours since the initial report went up late last night.

Nicki Minaj’s MAGA Support

All in all, the details don’t seem to be completely smoothed out just yet. We’re curious to see what Nicki Minaj has to say about this if she decides to respond.

She’s certainly been active on her social media accounts, especially X (formerly Twitter).

Also during the weekend, the Trinidadian superstar’s Spotify numbers saw a huge boost across multiple corners of the globe. They were up considerably in places such as the United Kingdom, U.S., Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and Nigeria. This also presumably increased average daily streams on the platform to 10.1 million.

As a result, she took a moment to appreciate her fans while also taking a shot at those trying to cancel her. “Winning is the new canceled. Thank you, Barbz. Love you. For LIFE,” she responded.
