Cole (Jermaine Cole) and Universal Music Group in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. Filed October 28, 2025, the 7-page lawsuit alleges breach of verbal agreement over “Ready ’24” (April 2024, Might Delete Later mixtape, Dreamville/UMG, prod. T-Minus, #38 Billboard Hot 100). Cam’ron contributed lyrics and a verse in June 2022 NYC session, conditioning release on Cole’s future single feature or It Is What It Is podcast appearance—both allegedly agreed then ignored. Claims include no payment since release, improper credit (composition only via Warner Chappell; seeks sound recording co-authorship), and $500K+ in unpaid royalties from streams, sales, publishing. Analytic Dreamz examines timeline, legal demands for royalty audit, declaratory relief, attorney fees, and hip-hop’s handshake deal risks. Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Cold world killer, huh? Almost time. Almost about that time. Hold on that's run that back. What would he say? A world killer. Hold on no. What camera I say? Cold world killer. Cold world killer. But then you know what I'm saying? I was like, damn, look at the state of hip hop. Like, what's going on? Now ladies and gentlemen, when it comes to this specific video and when it comes into what we're about to get into today, let's just say it does not bring me any joy to talk about how fake Jermaine is.

You guys. See, that's the problem. Now, of course, for people who watch the notorious mass effect, you know, avid podcast listeners, I definitely appreciate you to want us who support and who's been supporting for quite some time. But the reason why I say that is because you already know the type of sentiments I have sent towards Germain Cole's way. I know that ain't who I think it is. So you already know as soon as I saw the news, I said to myself,

Don't tell me, Jermaine was in hip hop timeout disrespecting the iconic, the legendary Cameron. But then you know what I'm saying? I was like, damn, look at the state of hip hop.

Like, what's going on? And you probably think of it to yourself, what in the world am I talking about? Or who in the world am I talking about? First of all, if you don't know Cameron, I'm not fin to educate you on that. Just know, this is hip-hop. So anyways, Cameron's name goes without saying

as far as him being an icon in the industry. But the main thing I wanted to talk about is him talking about how Jermaine. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the same Jermaine Cole that I put in hip-out timeout. The same Jermaine Cole is out here having allegedly a breach of contract and he's failing to compensate for Cameron's contributions to Ready 24. Now, of course, when it comes to that, safe to say, Jermaine had a little mixtape and by little,

I mean, it was a pretty solid mixtape. Might delete later. So that's how you already know I keep it eight more than 92, especially when I'm covering great raps in general. as Jermaine has not put out a lot of music. The last time I talked about him was February 21st of this year. Basically, it was clouds. I think it was a blog, right? It was a podcast where you had to pay money for his specific sentiments on his career.

And of course, it was a lot of introspective takes and more of a blog type error for Jermaine, especially after the loss of, um, side seven, you know, him putting out the seven minute freestyle and then under 48 hours taking it away. You know, we still ain't forgot about that. But you know, that's what I was point. right so he had a blog that was going on and clouds was doing pretty well so i guess he was talking about his contributions as far as to his producer uh to his fall off whatever tease and ultimately the reason why i say that's because that's the last time i talked about jermaine so as far as his

last musical offerings it was um his last musical offering if i can even find it okay he put out 2014 forest hills drives that's the 10 year anniversary so that don't count but might delete later April 5th, 2024. And of course, as far as singles, he has been inactive this entire year. So he's kind of doing what a lot of people ask Drake to do after losing the side seven. I mean, white tank top. He basically disappeared. So people would clamor for his music whenever he resurfaced as far as marketing strategies.

But safe to say, camera are not going for any of that. He basically like, I need my money and I need my money now. as the track off of might delete later um i don't know what the the track oh he was basically cameron saying oh there it is it is right here ready 24 feature on cameron so third track off of might delete later and the main thing that cameron was saying and filing because guess what it's going through the u.s district court for the southern district of new york so he's not playing at all he took a page at a Aubrey cairns book himself is it okay i got my dope on me and started suing so when it comes of that. Cameron is seeking official recognition as co-author of the sounding recording,

not just composition. I thought, I thought that's what I saw on his album. I ain't going to be completely one-sided, but I thought that, you know, does say featuring Cameron. So it wasn't like he's some ghostwriter, but whatever. Cameron is also seeking royalty, audit, and full payment of his proportionate share, his quote proportionate share. So you already know he wants some type of compensation and then minimal damages claim is $500,000. So Cameron's not playing around with Germain. He wants his money and he wants his money now because when it comes to June 22 and Cameron and Jay Cole recording ready 24 in New York City, Cameron saying he contributed to a lot, right?

He contributed to a lot. And now he basically said that he asked Cole to record on one of his two already completed tracks. so of course Jermaine was like you've never been on the charts in the last five years why in the world would I do that right that's probably what he was thinking to himself but of course he told Cameron he'll give him a verse so of course he didn't do that

and then Cameron followed up he was like hold up now Jermaine you didn't give me a verse but hey that's okay I know you're probably looking at me like a washed up rapper because of course I'm not on the charts which is not always the case I always say just because you sell a lot does not mean you're selling

the highest quality of product and just because you don't sell a lot does not mean it's just straight up atrocious, abysmal. The two do not correlate. So as far as a marketing factor, J. Cole giving Cameron a verse wouldn't make too much sense because it would, you know, it's like if a tree falls in the woods,

does anybody hear it? It's kind of like that type of thinking for superstars of Jay Cole's stature. But Cameron in general is an icon. So whenever disrespecting the quality, I'm just talking about the engagement on objective scale as far as numbers is not there as far as Jermaine giving him a verse.

So Cameron followed up. He basically said, hold of him now. Jermaine. How about you appear on my podcast titled It Is What It Is. And guess what? Germain Cole also agreed to that. And then, you know what I'm saying? I was like, damn, look at it.

And then, of course, like I keep seeing time and time again, germane has a lot of, basically, the blowviation of Jermaine in the hip hop stature or status as far as the top three has been my main factor as far as why i call him the most overrated rapper of all time because if you're looking at the top three i don't know why in the world future is not in that top three i don't know why in the world tyler the creator i know people hate on her all the time but nicky minage i mean i think those are the three that should be in the top three way before germane but hey that's why i call him the most overrated rapper of all time so anyways getting back to well saying

so cameron basically was like hold up now i know you did not just do you did not just disrespect me two times. I asked you for a verse. You said, yes, we never gave it. I asked you appear on my podcast. It is what it is. And you didn't appear. But guess what? Jermaine Cole stated repeatedly. No, multiple communications occurred. But I guess Jermaine kept saying, man, I'm not available for your podcast time and time again. So guess what? That man put to Aubrey Karen and he said, I'm filing a lawsuit. And ladies and gentlemen, that's what we are today in 2025. Cameron has filed a an official federal lawsuit to Jermaine Cole. And I wonder, I just wonder,

if people are gonna have the same energy towards this as far as a certain someone. Is it okay, I got my dope on me? Because technically this is a rapper suing another rapper in the landscape of hip hop. I'm wondering how that's gonna go down as far as the court of public perception. Now I'm not saying that's the same thing

because of course, they're not in a rap battle. I'm just saying that Cameron suing another hip hop artist for money. it's very interesting as far as the correlations between another artist now where it goes differently as far as the path pathways is that Cameron did not lose in a rap battle to germain you know so now if you sue him for money based on your appearance of his album might delete later some could you know put to the side that a rapper is suing another rapper i think that's the only reason why a lot of people may have some hesitancy as far as calling cameron

a cloud chaser because of course if the man is due 500,000 and unpaid royalties plus legal recognition of authorship uh authorship which i already see i see featuring cameron i don't know what else he wants as far as the track ready 24 um cameron is alleging that j-co broker creative and performance agreement related to ready 24 so as far as 500 000 i don't know if that's the number but that's what cameron is seeking ultimately as far as my personal opinion i know y'all about germain time and time again so y'all probably would think i'm on camera on side but actually i'm not mad at germane being busy because of course if he's trying to do the disappearing effect after getting bta from side seven i think that him appearing on camera on his podcast him giving

him a verse would deter from that if you want to disappear completely why in the world would you give a feature to cameron and why would you appear on his pocket up here on his podcast because you're already know what the questions are going to be hey jermaine i want to know why in the world did you take down seven minute freestyle in under 24 hours are you scared of confu kentie but then you know what i'm saying i was like damn look at the state of hip hop like what's going to be a bird man moment on it is what it is because cameron was definitely going to be the pettiest individual ever because think about it he asked for the podcast appearance after the verse so now you already you know you're feeling some type of way you don't want to see me a verse i would show up on my podcast

podcast in at least that's you know superstar lane as far as my podcast being one of the most popular podcast in the world safe to say that his podcast is way more popular than Cameron's actual music at this point in time um so you know maybe Cameron would have felt some type of way and you already know how petty he could be if you don't know just know Cameron's a very petty individual and he goes at things in a very meticulous way let's just put it like that so if he would have brought up the whole losing the Kendrick via taking his seven-minute freestyle down i think that would have been an interesting point because guess what jermaine wouldn't have been able to say anything he would have been like yeah wasn't the greatest move but hey you asked me to be on your podcast and now i'm here or he could have

just walked off and once again it is what it is could have had a bird man moment because you're already no mace would have stood by with the popcorn in hand listening to cameron and send a very pinpoint questions towards j cole's way so that's the that's the only thing i have to say is as far as it's lawsuit I think it's kind of crazy that Cameron's suing J-Code for 500,000 and unpaid royalties when I see that he's credited on Ready 24. I don't know if Cameron thought he was like high in the features. It'd be different if Jermaine did like a Travis Scott and then show any of the features on his album. But he actually has the Cameron feature, the Cameron name on Ready 24. So I don't know what type of recognition he's looking for. I think he may be a little salty that he didn't

get him a verse and he didn't give him an appearance on his podcast. So that's essentially what out there. But with that being said, click my link to you in my bio. Let me know on one of my social media is. What do you think about Cameron suing Jermaine Cole for breach of agreement and failure to compensate for contributions to Ready 24? And whose side are you on? Cameron or Jermaine?
