Cam’ron and Ma$e have never held back from joking about athletes and music industry professionals on their show, and they have now pulled Drake into the mix while poking fun at Dame Dash.
The latest episode of It Is What It Is went live on Wednesday (February 28) and opened with moderator Treasure “Stat Baby” Wilson bringing up a rumor about the co-hosts purchasing the entrepreneur’s Roc-A-Fella shares amid his legal and financial troubles.

“Let’s just say, Killa, I did for $20,” Murda said while pulling out the cash from his jacket. “Who would I sell it to? First I was thinking, ‘Man, I’d probably sell it to Drake.’ Drake probably would want to buy it from me.”
“Drake was trying to buy Evander Holyfield‘s earlobe,” Cam added laughingly. “Drake is out her copping shit — he bought Pharrell’s skateboard chains. I actually done some business with Drake. I’ll let him announce it whenever he want to announce it, but he’s out here copping shit.”
Listen to the New York City natives discuss the mock transaction at the 1:29 mark in the clip below:
According to documents obtained by Radar Online earlier this month, a judge ordered Dash to sell his shares of Roc-A-Fella Records after he allegedly refused to pay a $823,000 judgment to movie producer Josh Weber for the 2016 film, Dear Frank.
Both JAY-Z and Kareem “Biggs” Burke objected to the 52-year-old having to sell his portion in an auction given that company bylaws mandate that the board of directors must first approve the sell-off. However, US Magistrate Robert W. Lehrburger ruled that the former exec’s one-third ownership of Roc-A-Fella can, in fact, be seized to help cover the judgment since it is his personal property.

In his 15-page decision, Lehrburger blasted Hov and Biggs for creating a no sell-off clause during a 2021 board meeting that Dame did not attend or vote for. He then ordered Roc-A-Fella to deliver Dame’s stock certificate to the US Marshals Service for an auction in 180 days.
In addressing Jigga and Biggs’ concerns about an outsider purchsing the intellectual rights of Roc-A-Fella, Lehrburger said: “They can participate in the auction and place the winning bid.”
As previously reported, Dame Dash was sued for copyright infringement and defamation over the Dear Frank film in 2019. Although he was originally asked to direct the movie in 2016, he was ultimately removed from the project after he was deemed unfit for the job.
Webber and Muddy Water Pictures claimed he was always high on set while shooting the film on his Sherman Oaks property. They eventually finished the film without him.

They then sued Dash three years later, claiming he tried to shop the film around as his own. They also alleged he sent promotional ephemera to networks such as BET but changed the film’s title to The List. Dame argued they shot the film at his home using all of his equipment, then stole the footage to make the movie without him.
The jury failed to see Dash’s perspective and handed down its decision in 2022. Attorney Chris Brown, who repped the plaintiffs, said: “I will get every penny due to my clients.”
