Cam’ron continued to discuss his bitter feud with Damon Dash by revealing on his talk show that Dame’s son, Boogie Dash, allegedly reached out for financial help and agreed to appear on Cam’s show in exchange for money.
According to Cam, the offer to appear on the show wasn’t a setup but a response to Boogie’s financial struggles.
The Harlem-born rapper addressed the controversy during an episode of Talk with Flee, claiming that Boogie Dash had contacted Cam’s producer, Larry, for money just weeks ago.
“If you want to know the truth, Dame, this is what happened. Your son, a few weeks ago, called Larry asking for money. He needed money. Not last month, not last year, not a couple years ago,” Cam’ron said.
Cam said Larry offered to pay Boogie to appear on the show, and Boogie accepted.
“He [Larry] said, ‘Yo, you want to come on the show? We’ll pay for it.’ He [Boogie] said, ‘yeah, I’ll come on the show,” Cam’ron explained. Cam’ron said he texted Boogie directly to ask what he wanted to discuss.
“I said, Boogie, what do you want to talk about? [Boogie said] ‘My movies and my music.’ I said, ‘All right, no problem.”
But things quickly escalated when Damon Dash accused Cam of trying to manipulate his son to avoid addressing their issues face-to-face.
Dame posted on Instagram, “Cam, this is a whole new level of low. You know, it’s just not proper conduct to bring children, or my children, or anyone’s children. And I know Larry made the call, but to try to divide a family and take advantage, manipulate my child, all because you’re too scared to have a direct conversation with me about the things you said about me. It kind of shows your pedigree of pettiness.”
Cam denied any malicious intent, saying the timing may have been unfortunate, but the offer was sincere.
“No, your son was broke. Hit Larry for some bread. Larry thought it’d be cool for you to come on the show,” Cam said. “Like I said, could have been bad timing. But no, I ain’t going to diss your son. Your son needed money.”
The fallout between the two Hip-Hop figures has been simmering for months. Their relationship fractured after Cam’ron criticized Dame for mishandling business opportunities.
Tensions flared when 50 Cent announced he had acquired the rights to Paid In Full and tapped Cam’ron as executive producer for a new series. Dame, who produced the original film, was not involved and wasn’t appreciative of the actions of his longtime friend.
Dame responded by calling Cam disloyal, especially over his interview with 50 Cent. Cam has also taken shots at Dame’s other son, Lucky, while Damon threw shots at Cam’s deceased mother.
Cam fired back with his “When I See You” freestyle, mocking Dame’s finances and dental issues and claiming Dame’s influence had faded.
