Overview
- The Harlem rapper filed a federal complaint in Manhattan naming J. Cole, Cole World Inc., and Universal Music Group as defendants.
- Cam’ron seeks a judicial declaration that he is a co-author of the master recording plus a full accounting of revenues tied to the track.
- He estimates he is owed at least $500,000 after receiving no performer credit on the master and no royalty payments.
- The suit says the verse was written and recorded in June 2022 at Electric Lady Studios, with release later on Cole’s 2024 mixtape Might Delete Later without his sign-off.
- The complaint highlights a split in registrations, noting the composition is filed with authors listed while the sound recording lacks proper acknowledgment, and J. Cole’s camp has not publicly responded.
