Cam’ron, the Harlem rapper known for his work with Dipset and media ventures, discussed his recent multi-million dollar deal to bring his “Talk With Flee” show to Revolt and linear television. Cam’ron made it clear that creative control was a non-negotiable part of the agreement.
“I wouldn’t have done it if they wasn’t gonna let me be me 100 percent,” Cam’ron said in an interview while on vacation. “That was part of the reason I actually didn’t mind working with them… It was one thing to do the show on YouTube and I make a decent amount of money on YouTube. They came with the right deal. To be honest with you, it was more of a linear television move.”
He also detailed that prior to signing with Revolt, he had already filmed several episodes independently. “Before we even got a Revolt, I shot about 10 or 11 episodes of that before we even did anything with Revolt. So it was nothing really that we hadn’t been doing prior to doing the deal.”
Cam’ron noted Deon Graham at Revolt had pursued collaboration for years. On the topic of past involvement from Sean “Diddy” Combs at Revolt, Cam’ron remarked that leadership changes were less important than maintaining his independence: “They came to me really. They was telling me that they don’t work with Puffy anymore. That didn’t really matter to me. Everyone’s on this, ‘Puff’s not there anymore.’ Even when Puff was there, he was trying to get the It Is What It Is deal done. He met with me two or three times (… ) It wasn’t about Puff not being there, it was more about, ‘Are y’all gonna let me do my thing? Is there gonna be any filter?’ Sometimes when the network is based on ads, you’re not gonna have a Pampers or Fisher-Price commercial with the content I have.”
The upcoming season will see guests including Michael Irvin and Maurice Clarett returning as contributors for NFL discussions on “It Is What It Is.” Following the passing of former contributor O.J. Simpson, Cam’ron mentioned efforts to recruit Adam “Pacman” Jones but said no final decision has been made.
On Simpson’s presence on “It Is What It Is,” Cam’ron commented: “O.J. brought a lot to the table football-wise – and his knowledge of the game, and because of his situation, a lot of it gets swept under the rug. There was so much stuff that we didn’t know he held the records for. The NFL doesn’t talk about the records he hold, because of the situation (…) The reason we hired him because he was found innocent. Whether in public opinion people think he was guilty or not, he was found innocent… He was very funny, very entertaining, and I’m glad we got to let people see some of his personality before he left… One of my favorite moments was — and like I said, it was a bunch of them… it was Mase was saying something about a football player, and O.J. said (…) ‘Mase, you have a firm grasp on the obvious.’ That quote lasted about three or four months.”
He also addressed current sports topics such as Shedeur Sanders falling in draft rounds: “I went to Colorado games the last two years. The kid’s an incredible player… As far as him dropping to the fifth round, we all know that was some bulls—t (… ) Sometimes just having the last name Sanders makes them feel that their family is arrogant…”
Cam’ron further talked about plans for new shows involving interviews inside prisons across America with hip-hop figures behind bars: “I’m going into these jails to see some of the rappers that’s locked up (… ) I’m actually going into the jails to have convos with some rappers and iconic figures in our culture (… ) Things the media run with where they might want to get their side of the story off.”
When asked about music projects and potential albums Cam’ron replied: “I’m just having fun with music when I feel like doing it… But as far as like doing the album full-time, I doubt it.”
Regarding his memoir due out in 2026: “After I get off this call with you, I have two more interviews today for writers (… ) But yes, I know how I want to do it (…) If it was up to me everything would be done by late October early November — and then I would hand it in…”
Cam’ron concluded by expressing satisfaction at being able to remain authentic through various entertainment platforms.
