Cam’ron revealed that Suge Knight tried to exhort him over a Tupac Shakur sample he used on his third album, Come Home With Me.

On the latest episode of Talk With Flee, Cam shared that Suge confronted him about sampling Tupac’s classic track “Ambitionz Az a Ridah” for his own song “Live My Life (Leave Me Alone).” Cam also noted that the interaction was not as serious as it may have looked.

“To me, the Suge Knight conversation wasn’t a tough situation; it was more of a conversation that got a little aggressive, and then it wasn’t aggressive,” Cam said. “We were outside the Sentry Club in L.A. if I’m not mistaken…[Suge] came over to us with probably about five, six, seven people, and he was like, ‘Yo, you owe me money.’”

“I was like, ‘Owe you money? For what?’ He was like, ‘You used one of my beats.’ And I’m like, ‘I don’t know what beat you’re talking about.’ He was talking about 2Pac’s beat. Daz [Dillinger] had actually done the beat, and Daz played it over for me in the studio. [Suge] was like, ‘Ambitionz Az a Ridah,’ the 2Pac record.’ I’m like, ‘Oh, Daz came and played that over for me,” Cam continued. “I don’t owe you anything.’ He started laughing and said, ‘Daz can’t control shit, Daz don’t own nothing. I own it.’”

After he saw Cam was standing on business, Knight eventually retreated and told the “Oh Boy” rapper that everything was cool between them.

“You know what? Don’t even worry about it, little homie,” Cam recalled. “We good, it’s all good.”

On his 2019 track “Fast Lane,” Cam previously told his version of the story. The Harlem rapper said that he had to call on his friend Tito to pull out a knife for reinforcements during the altercation.

Cam rapped, “Walked up out of [the club], got approached by Suge Knight / He said I owed him money, started screwin’ / I said, ‘No, I don’t, homie, now tell me what we doin’?’ / He said, ‘How you figure?’ I said, ‘I said so’ / Tito flicked his knife, he was ready to go to death row / I’m talkin’ kamikaze, but we resolved it calmly / Everything I say is truth, I put that on my mommy.”
