Cam’ron feels that JAY-Z doesn’t necessarily “love” Hip Hop in the same way his former rival Nas does, but he does have an appreciation for the money it brings.

Killa shared his thoughts on the topic on a recent episode of his sports show It Is What It Is, inspired by Antonio Brown’s recent comment that essentially called Hov a sellout.

After the Brooklyn native performed at Tom Brady’s Patriots Hall of Fame induction ceremony earlier this month, AB took to X, saying: “Jay didn’t perform at any Hip Hop 50 concerts last year where the fans would’ve known every word to his songs, but he makes time to get ignored by rich folks smh. #CTESPN”

Discussing it on the show, Cam said, “I believe that JAY-Z, to me – my personal opinion – is not in love with Hip Hop. I think he likes Hip Hop a lot, [but] I think he likes money more and opportunities to take his brand to the next level and some of the stuff that may have been going on with Hip Hop 50 may not have been up his alley.”

He went on to say that Hov working with the NFL may have something to do with the Brady gig – that the Roc Nation mogul may be building the relationship between himself and a major personality in the league, with an eye on something bigger for himself or Hip Hop in the future.

Cam then compared JAY to Nas, adding, “I don’t think he loves it as much as somebody like Nas loves it. Nas loves Hip Hop.”

Watch the full clip below.

Cam’ron infamously feuded with Nas in the early 2000s, and talked about the beef recently on social media.

“Nas is one of my favorite artists, if not my favorite artist,” he said. “When Nas dissed me, I was like, ‘Damn.’ We grew up on Nas. What did Nas diss us for? So when he dissed me for no reason, I’m like, ‘Damn, I didn’t do nothing to Nas.’
