==Feuds== ===Jay-Z=== Although there had been rumors of a feud between the two emcees, Cam'ron went public first with a track on "Killa Season" called "You Gotta Love It (Jay-Z Diss)" featuring ex-Dipset member [[Max B]]. In the song, Cam'ron takes jabs at Jay-Z's age, his alleged "biting" (stealing) of lyrics, and his current girlfriend. He references Jay-Z using [[the Notorious B.I.G.]]'s rhymes, rapping "You ain't the only one with big wallets got it my shit's brolick but ya publishing should go to Miss Wallace." He then released another song "Swagger Jacker (Biter Not a Writer)" to highlight the many songs Jay-Z has borrowed lines from. In the next issue of [[XXL (magazine)|XXL]], Cam'ron explained the beef originated when Jay-Z became CEO and President of [[Roc-A-Fella Records]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://nahright.com/news/2006/01/18/cam-finally-disses-hov/|title=Cam Finally Disses Hov - Nah Right|access-date=March 11, 2015}}</ref> In 2010, Cam'ron stated he does not have any issues with Jay-Z anymore. In 2013, on "Pound Cake", a song by [[Drake (rapper)|Drake]], Jay-Z mentioned Cam'ron again by rapping (in the middle of a verse): "Now here's the icing on the cake/ Cake, cake-cake, cake-cake, uhh/ I'm just getting started, oh, yeah, we got it bitch/ I've done made more millionaires than the lotto did/ [[Damon Dash|Dame]] made millions, Bigg made millions/ [[Kanye West|Ye]] made millions, [[Just Blaze|Just]] made millions/ [[Lyor Cohen|Lyor]] made millions, Cam made millions/ [[Beanie Sigel|Beans]] would tell you if he wasn't in his feelin[g]s."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.25626/title.cam-ron-refutes-jay-z-s-pound-cake-claims|title=Cam'ron Refutes Jay Z's "Pound Cake" Claims|author=HipHopDX|date=October 2, 2013|work=HipHopDX|access-date=March 11, 2015}}</ref> Cam replied briefly on "Come and Talk to Me" off of ''Ghetto Heaven Vol. 1'': "She said Jay made you a millionaire? and looked me in the eyes/ Said cake, cake, cake, got that from the pies/ We made each other millions, that was my reply/ had a mill before I met him, baby, that ain't no lie/ See he named some Harlem cats and the [[Kanye West|homie from the Chi]] / but my thing, he ain't name nobody from the [[Bedford-Stuyvesant|Stuy]]".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ddotomen.com/2013/09/30/camron-come-and-talk-to-me-jay-z-response/|title=New Music: Cam'Ron 'Come And Talk To Me' (Jay Z Response) - DDotOmen|access-date=March 11, 2015}}</ref> On April 26, 2019, he and Jay-Z ended their feud at the re-opened [[Webster Hall]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/jay-z-brings-out-nas-camron-jim-jones-at-iconic-webster-hall-re-opening-news.78514.html|title=Jay-Z Brings Out Nas, Cam'ron, Jim Jones At Iconic Webster Hall Re-Opening|website=HotNewHipHop|date=April 27, 2019|access-date=July 22, 2020}}</ref> ===50 Cent=== On February 1, 2007, Cam'ron and [[50 Cent]] had a live argument on ''The [[Angie Martinez]] Show'' on [[WQHT|Hot 97]] radio. 50 Cent commented that he felt [[Koch Entertainment]] was a "graveyard", meaning major record labels would not work with their artists.<ref name=NYT>Sanneh, Kelefa (February 27, 2007). Rappers Find That a Small Label Can Have Its Uses. ''The New York Times''. Accessed May 22, 2007.</ref> Cam'ron then ridiculed the record sales of [[G-Unit]] members [[Lloyd Banks]] and [[Mobb Deep]] by pointing out that [[The Diplomats|Dipset]] member [[Jim Jones (rapper)|Jim Jones]] outsold both of their albums despite not being signed to a major label, and also went on to clarify that his group, the Diplomats, had a distribution deal from several labels.<ref name="NYT"/> Both rappers released diss songs with videos on [[YouTube]]. 50 Cent released "Funeral Music", and suggested in the song that Cam'ron is no longer able to lead the Diplomats and that Jim Jones should take his place. Cam'ron responded with "Curtis" and "Curtis Pt. II", in which he makes fun of 50 Cent's appearance, calling him "a gorilla, with rabbit teeth". 50 Cent responded by releasing "[[Hold On (Young Buck song)|Hold On]]" with [[Young Buck]]. Since 2009, the feud slowly died down, and they eventually reconciled in 2016.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.instagram.com/p/BI50XSmAoci/ |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/iarchive/s/instagram/BI50XSmAoci |archive-date=December 26, 2021 |url-access=registration|title=50 Cent on Instagram: "I said Cam I would talk to you like you ain't got money, if I didn't see them big ass knot's in ya pockets."|website=Instagram|access-date=May 16, 2019}}{{cbignore}}</ref> ===Jim Jones=== Cam'ron revealed in 2007 that he was no longer speaking to his fellow Diplomat members Juelz Santana and Jim Jones, leading to speculation that the group had officially broken up. However, despite admitting that he did not want to contact Jim Jones, he said that he had no hard feelings towards him. In an interview with Miss Info, Cam'ron said: "I still haven't spoken to Jim. But Jim ran with me for over 10 years, he worked hard, and I wish him the best of luck. Everybody thinks I'm mad at Jim. Why am I mad? I told people for years that Jimmy was gonna be a star. So it's better on my resume. I wish him the best."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.5911/title.camron-addresses-jim-jones-50-cent-his-hiatus-more |title=Cam Speaks on Hiatus|date=November 2, 2007}}</ref> After three years of not speaking, Cam'ron and Jim Jones mended their differences in April 2010. In late 2011, both appeared together on [[Wolfgang Gartner]]'s album ''[[Weekend in America]]'', on the track "Circus Freaks". ===Kanye West=== Both Cam'ron and Jim Jones took out their frustrations on former label-mate Kanye West in defense of former CEO Dame Dash (due to their longtime friendship dating back to growing up in Harlem)<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.factmag.com/2014/06/03/camron-fact-interview-diplomats-a-trak-drugs/|title="I didn't grow up in a musical family, I grew up in a drug family": Cam'ron talks Paid in Full, A-Trak and the cult of Dipset - FACT Magazine: Music News, New Music.|work=FACT Magazine: Music News, New Music.|date=June 3, 2014|access-date=March 11, 2015}}</ref> by releasing a song titled "Toast" rhyming over Kanye West's song "[[Runaway (Kanye West song)|Runaway]]". The feud eventually ended, evidenced by Cam'ron, Jim Jones, and Kanye West collaborating on a song called "[[G.O.O.D. Fridays|Christmas in Harlem]]".
