Cam’ron and 50 Cent have revisited their past beef, with the Dipset rapper asking his former foe about a “devious” stunt he pulled during their late 2000s feud.
While interviewing 50 on his YouTube show Talk With Flee, Killa Cam quizzed the G-Unit boss about the time he brought out Jim Jones and Juelz Santana at a show in New York City in 2007 — a move that Cam took as an act of betrayal from his fellow Diplomats.
“We were having interior problems at Dipset. Nobody knew about this, nobody knew that we were not on the same page,” he explained. “So when me and [50] were battling, you had members of Dipset to come to your show.
“I was sitting there like, ‘This n-gga’s kinda smart ’cause I wouldn’t have thought about reaching out to [Tony] Yayo or Lloyd Banks.'”
Cam added that he was hoping to fix Dipset’s issues before their rift went public or escalated any further, until he saw Jimmy and Juelz perform with his then-rival.
“When n-ggas went on stage, I was like, ‘This shit is spinning out [of control]. It was a checkmate moment,'” he admitted. “I said, ‘This n-gga’s devious.’ But I respected it, I liked that shit [laughs].”
Cam’ron then asked 50 how he came up with the idea to lure his closest allies away.
“I just took the shot ’cause I wasn’t sure [Jim Jones] was going to go for it. I was like, ‘We like Jimmy better than you anyway, Cam!'” he said in a comical voice, prompting the room to erupt in laughter.
Narrowing his eyes as if gauging somebody’s reaction, he continued: “You gotta watch and see how he responds. And then you see, ‘Aw shit, he really likes that!’ Tell him, ‘We want you at the show, Jim!’
“That was one of those things where I just threw it out and see what would happen. And he bit.”
Cam’ron later recalled how his beef with 50 Cent, which saw them trade diss songs and comical YouTube videos, almost landed him in hot water with his probation officer.
“My probation officer was like, ‘Come down to probation or we gonna lock you up.’ I’m like, ‘What the fuck I do?'” he remembered.
“New York City Intel was there. They said, ‘What’s going on with you and 50 Cent?’ I said, ‘It’s some music shit. What the fuck are you talking about?’
“They said, ‘Well, it seems like it’s more than that.’ I said, ‘Yo, he puts people out of business. I gotta respond!’ Then one officer was like, ‘Yeah, he does, man.'”
50 Cent previously admitted regret over his feud with Cam’ron, as well as those he had with Fat Joe and Jadakiss around the same time.
“Look, I think we wasted too much time arguing, me and Fat Joe, me and Cam’ron. There’s other guys like Jada[kiss], we cleared it up easier,” he said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter earlier this year.
“But we wasted time because it was just the competitive nature. It wasn’t like we crossed paths and had real heat for each other.”
