Cam'ron Announces Memoir Deal, Reveals Writing Credits for Lil' Kim and 3LW Hits

Cam'ron, the legendary Dipset rapper, has just announced that he is writing a memoir set to be published by Simon & Schuster in 2026. The $750,000 book deal will give fans a behind-the-scenes look at Cam'ron's storied career in hip-hop and his transition into a successful media personality.

In a statement, Cam'ron said, "I'm happy to have this deal done. Hopefully the book will be released February of 2026 and that everyone can take something from my memoir when they read it." The memoir does not yet have a title, but it's sure to be a must-read for any Cam'ron or Dipset fan.

Cam'ron's Surprising Songwriting Credits

In addition to the memoir announcement, Cam'ron has also been opening up about his songwriting talents in recent interviews. On his sports talk show "It Is What It Is", Cam revealed that he originally wrote his hit song "I Really Mean It" for Lil' Kim, but she passed on it.

"I did write a song for Lil' Kim and she didn't want it, and the lyrics changed and I ended up keeping it for myself," Cam explained. "It was one of my biggest records, but I wrote 'I Really Mean It' for Lil' Kim. Same format, and she didn't like it."

Cam'ron also claimed that he was behind the 3LW hit "No More (Baby I'ma Do Right)". "I wrote for 3 Little Women. The single, I'm in the credits, I wrote that. 'Promises, promises'? That's me. I penned that joint," he said.

These revelations add an interesting new layer to Cam'ron's legacy. While he's best known as a skilled rapper and the founder of the influential Dipset collective, it's clear that Cam'ron also has a knack for songwriting that has benefited other artists over the years.

Tensions with Jim Jones

Cam'ron's songwriting claims have also reignited tensions with his former Dipset groupmate Jim Jones. In a recent interview, Jones asserted that he "helped him write every one of his albums. Every one of his albums. From his first album up to Come Home With Me."

Jones added, "I always knew how to rap, I just didn't know how to rap good. I always knew how to do bars. Yeah, I done near write all his music. And I commend him for figuring out how to do something else."

This is not the first time the two Dipset members have butted heads over creative control and contributions. It's clear that the collaborative dynamic between Cam'ron and Jones was complex, with both rappers claiming to be the primary driving force behind Dipset's musical output.

Regardless of the internal tensions, Cam'ron's upcoming memoir is sure to provide fascinating insights into one of hip-hop's most enigmatic figures. Fans will no doubt be eager to learn more about Cam'ron's rise to fame, his songwriting abilities, and his relationships with fellow Dipset members when the book is released in 2026.
