Juelz Santana Speaks On Being "Grateful" For Cam'ron's Help In His Career

Harlem rapper Juelz Santana may no longer be in a contract with Cam’ron and Diplomat Records, but in a recent interview with Vlad TV he revealed that despite the break-up with the label he still has a great deal of respect for Cam’ron. The former Diplomat Records artist revealed that while many things didn’t quite come to fruition, he is grateful to Cam’ron for jumpstarting his career.  “Yeah, I been out of my deal with Cam for about two years now. One thing I respect is Cam brought me to the water,” Juelz explained. “A lot of things ain’t transpire, but at the end of the day I come from nothing. I’m able to eat… Just him giving me that I would never – I gotta be so grateful for that. Things could have went better in other areas cause I was so loyal… He blueprinted that building, but I placed them bricks in there.” After expressing his thanks to the Dipset founder, Juelz spoke briefly on his first time meeting with Cam’ron. “I was actually in a group with my partner Malik,” said the rapper. “We had a group called Draft Pick. One day, make a long story short, this guy comes through in the 600 on my block. Calls me out the window, calls my mother. He look out the window, ‘Yo tell Juelz come down I got Cam in the car.’ He got Cam in the car. I come downstairs Cam’s in the car sleeping… I just start rapping. It was kinda history from there.”

Vado Says Cam'Ron Will Not "Baby" Him Anymore, Talks Dipset Closeness

For a long time, any mention of Vado often came with a mention of Cam’Ron. That has somewhat changed over time, even sparking rumors of a beef between the two. The Dipset affiliate recently spoke with DJ Whoo Kid about his relationship with Cam and why he is stepping out on his own. He also talked about how the Dipset doesn’t really see each other outside of Dipset concerts or rehearsals. In discussing Cam, Vado had positive things to say. ”He gives you the opportunity to grow,” he explained. Plus he on his third decade. He makes sure he tells me every chance. He makes sure he tells me that every time.” Vado also explained how Cam wants him to step out on his own now. “[He says] ‘You gotta grind. You gotta step up. I’m on my third decade. I can’t keep doin’ shit for you.’ In other words, ‘I can’t keep babying you. You gotta take it there. Everybody know you good. The vouch is good. Run with it. I put you there. Now run with it,’” he shared. Vado also spoke on how close the Dipset is, saying they only see each other in rehearsals or concerts but said that it’s because everyone in Dipset is a boss. “Dipset concerts…I mean, like, you know, in rehearsals,” he said when asked about how often the Dipset crew is together. ”Everybody is bosses,” he clarified. “They got they thing. They doin’ they own thing. They got they own things goin’ on. So we can only get up when it’s scheduled.” Vado is currently working with Lloyd Banks & others.

Cam’Ron is making an honest woman out of his girlfriend? Say it ain’t so. Well word is that Cam presented JuJu with an engagement ring worth $100K. You can’t be a bachelor forever, so what else did you expect from Killa? [Note: Cam'Ron hasn't confirmed this engagement and the source is Mediatakout, that is all] If you follow the Harlem rapper‘s Twitter and/or Instagram then you have no doubt seen photos of his amply hipped and bootied wife to be. That being said, we found it our duty to showcase shots of JuJu, who we admittedly know little about beyond these pics and her Twitter bio that reads, “Entrepreneur & overall business woman making power moves.” Also, she is officially licensed to carry a concealed weapon or firearm. But hey, rappers have a right to a certain level of privacy, and not everyone needs to parade their significant others around all the damn time (see: Kanye West and Wiz Khalifa). Check out pics of Cam’s wifey below.

Cam’ron Reportedly Stiffs Concert Promoter For $7,000 For Performance

Cam'ron Reportedly Stiffs Concert Promoter For $7,000 For Performance

Whether it’s no-shows from Nas and Rick Ross or impostors pretending to be MF DOOM, there are countless horror stories of live Hip Hop shows gone awry. Now, according to HipHopWired, one Brooklyn promoter says Cam’ron stood him up at a performance to the tune of $7,000. Lou Galluch, a party promoter based in Brooklyn, alleges that the Dipset emcee accepted money to perform at Galluch’s annual New Year’s Eve party “The Shanks,” but never showed. Galluch says that he lost a total of $7,000 over the failed performance. According to Galluch, he was able to book Cam’ron for the event for $8,000 through a mutual contact. However, one day before the party, Galluch’s contact had to leave town on family business and referred him to Cam’s DJ Moe Sticky to complete the business deal. ”So I meet [Moe Sticky] that next day [Sunday], and I said, ‘Bring the signed contracts and I’ll give you the money,’” Galluch told the Village Voice. “He shows up with no contracts, and I have the money. This is the day before New Year’s, everything is happening. Promotion has gone out, pre-sales are coming in…and they show up with no contracts…[my original contact says,] ‘Yeah, [Cam'ron]‘s gonna show, give [Moe] the money.’” Following the exchange, Galluch gave Moe Sticky a $3,000 deposit with the assurance that Cam would show at the event. However, when it came time for the Dipset rapper to hit the stage, he was no where to be found. Galluch recalls that Cam’ron was supposed to hit the stage around 3 AM; however, the venue wasn’t packed at that time, and Galluch requested that Cam wait until 4:30 AM to perform. Moe Sticky reportedly agreed to the new terms, but only if Galluch gave him another $2,000 of the performance bill. When it came time for the Purple Haze rapper to hit the stage, however, Galluch claims that Cam’ron, Moe Sticky and company had left with the money in tow. Moe Sticky tells a different story, however. The DJ claims that Galluch was supposed to give him the rest of the money prior to the performance, but only had $2,000 at the time. Moe Sticky added that the initial $3,000 was part of of a standard $4,000 deposit for Cam’s performance. As of now, Galluch has no plans of following through with a lawsuit and doesn’t blame Cam’ron himself for the situation. via:hiphopdx
