Cam’ron and Damon Dash clashed online as 50 Cent’s “Paid in Full” reboot brought old tensions back to the surface.
Damon Dash took a swipe at Cam’ron on Monday (September 8) after 50 Cent announced plans to turn Paid in Full into a television series and bring Cam’ron on board, amid a long-simmering rift between the former Roc-A-Fella collaborators.
Dash, who reportedly lost control of the Paid in Full rights during bankruptcy proceedings, weighed in on the topic after Cam’ron confirmed his involvement in the upcoming project.
Cam posted on Instagram, “So we’ve been talking about this for a few months now, and it’s almost time. Thx @50cent for the opportunity my n####. We gonna burn this s### down!!”
Dash reposted Cam’s announcement with a caption that read, “Smh stay tuned,” followed by, “damn.. the real Rico @mr_camron so this is what this is all about.”
He then escalated the situation with a video message aimed directly at Cam’ron: “I want to congratulate him for making 50 his new boss. So congratulations Cam, 50 is now your new boss, and you’re proud of it.”

Cam’ron didn’t let that slide. He fired back in the comments, writing, “U really turned into a chatty patty damn..tagging me every post.”
He then threw in a jab referencing a line from the original Paid in Full film. “N#### get cut out of tv series everyday B, u be ight,” he added. “U only doing this for clicks, this the most action u got in ya Chanel EVER. You welcome. For now on my lil n####. Lolol . Go to the store for me real quick.”
The tension between the two escalated over the weekend when Dash accused Cam’ron of crossing a line by reaching out to his son, Boogie Dash.
According to Dash, Cam tried to set up a paid interview with Boogie through a third party, which Dame called “a new level of low.” He said Cam was “scared” to speak to him directly and criticized him for dragging family into their personal issues.
50 Cent, who now claims to hold the rights to Paid in Full, has yet to comment on the back-and-forth.
The original film, released in 2002, starred Cam’ron as Rico and was produced by Dash under Roc-A-Fella Films.
