Guess who’s bizzack! Cam’ron, former Dipset affiliate, is on the cover of the April issue of XXL. He gives us an insight as to his hiatus, Diplomats ownership, and his beef with Jim Jones and Juelz Santana, along with some other issues. Cam said he has moved on from his era with Dipset even though his fans can’t imagine Dipset without him. “…So I understand what the fans are saying,” Cam told XXL executive editor Vanessa Satten, who penned the article. “And it’s kinda messed up. But what you gotta realize is that things can always be fixed behind the scenes. But once a problem gets public, it’s kind of unfixable.”

Crime Pays, Cam’s first album in three years, is set to hit stores April 21th.

Do you think Dipset is doing better without Cam’ron in the group?

Check out Cam’s new video for his single “I Hate My Job”

Since Cam’ron has been laying low, Juelz Santana and Jim Jones became the face of the Diplomats/Dipset movement. Well, although Cam’ron has been hard to pin down, he is making BIG moves…Cam’ron recently sold Juelz Santana contract to Def Jam for $2 Million. Like Jim Jones, Juelz also distanced himself from his former mentor.

In an email posted on Miss Info’s website, Juelz had this to say about his contract being sold to Def Jam:

“A! What’s good !! Yeah, I’m free!! And ready to do me!! But its still Dip Set 4 life!! Its just going to be a new chapter!!” he stated. Although he said that it was “still Dip Set 4 life,” he followed by addressing his relationship with Killa Cam.

“I have no hard feeling for Cam, after all, he did give me a chance!!! But I will say this I was loyal to him and he took advantage.”

“Mixtape coming up soon, my solo mixtape (’the Reagan Era’),” he revealed

“I have a joint venture with Def Jam, a 50/50 deal,” he continued. “Yeah, it’s a new boss in town. Album is called Born to Lose, Built to Win!!!! (The rise of the skullgang).

Juelz Santana took the opportunity to clarify the status of his relationship with his Dipset counterpart, Cam’Ron, on the Angie Martinez radio show. Here’s a lil bit of what he had to say:

“Me and Cam gotta work some things out, bottom line,” the rapper said. “I came in the game when I was young right, so it’s no reason for me – to have accomplished and did as much as I did – to be getting treated the same way as I was treated when I just came in.”

Hmmmm…

As mentioned in previous scoop, Cam’ron of Dipset seem to be in hiding for a long time. Especially after releasing his home made Youtube video clip of him warning 50 Cent that it was going to be a “hot summer”. According to his interview with radio personality Miss Info, during the summer his mother suffered from several strokes which caused her to become paralyzed on one side of her body resulting in Cam’s hiatus. The rapper said he has moved his mother to Florida and arranged for her rehabilitation and therapy. He also took some time away to get his business affairs in order primarily due to the fact that him and his label weren’t seeing eye to eye and a lot of things. “We recently worked things out,” Cam said. “We had a conversation with the lawyers and with Todd (Moscowitz), so now we’re straight. I wasn’t gonna drop the mixtape until that happened….”

The Dipset member said that even though things were fine as far as his mother’s health, he still staggered his return and instead decided to examine the way those around him behaved. “Even when I had my mom situated, she had the help she needs, the physical therapy, everything was right-that was like a month ago-I still laid low, because when I come out it’s gonna be done it right,” he said. “But I just sat back and bugged out at how everyone else was acting. I heard all the rumors, mad felonious s–t, fake s–t. And I would tell n—-s, my moms just had a stroke, and they’d be like ‘Oh, ok, so are you still coming through?’ Fam, what is wrong with you?” “I ain’t talked to nobody, but I kept hearing all these stories,” he continued. “Cam was in a car crash. Cam was begging for a deal. Some hood DVD dudes were up on [140th St] to try to find me. Folks were asking for interviews. I’m like Bigfoot, its crazy!”

Cam says he is dropping a double mixtape, “Public Enemy #1,” as a preview of his next full-length effort, which is set to drop in either February or March of 2008. The mixtape, which will be available tomorrow for FREE and is dropping the day after fellow crew member Jim Jones’ mixtape and Jay-Z’s American Gangster. Cam also mentioned that he hasn’t spoken to Jim Jones in a long time!

I saw Cam’ron at club “DREAM” in South Beach this past Saturday. Due to the fact that I was partying like a rock star, I was unable to get a first hand interview with the Harlemlite. But he was definitely out of hiding and having a good time at club DREAM! Shout out to SassyP!

Shout out to JLittle and Danny Boy of 400 Club! Dream was off the chain this past Saturday, we had a blast!

Jim Jones recently announced that he’ll be dropping a free mixtape, “Harlem’s American Gangsta,” on November 6. According to fellow gossip princess Miss Info, the mixtape is a direct response to Jay-Z’s new concept album, American Gangster, the unofficial soundtrack to the Denzel Washington flick of the same name. Both discs will hit shelves on the same day. To make matters worse, the Dipset member asked Hov’s former business partner Dame Dash to host his disc.

“Harlem’s American Gangsta” will drop a day before Cam’ron’s mixtape is scheduled to be released. Jimmy admitted to have a little “family” beef between Cam and himself.

In related news…XXL reports that according to a statement on the Roc-A-Fella website, the five-city club tour that Jay-Z planned to support his American Gangster album sold out less than 60 seconds after tickets went on sale today. The site claims that the Philadelphia show sold out in 30 seconds, the Los Angeles show in 11 seconds, and the Chicago show in just 8 seconds. While other appearences are rumored in Washington, DC and Atlanta, details have yet to emerge. The scheduled show dates are as follows:

11/7 Chicago – The House of Blues
11/9 Baltimore – Ramshead Live

Cam’ron recently announced that his forthcoming mixtape titled Public Enemy #1 will be out on November 7. Cam announced the album’s release date via an email to MTV News. “Killa Season again, you little yentas,” Cam said in the e-mail. “November 7th.  Cam’ron is anonymous.  Dipset!”  Cam has also launched a new Myspace page, killacamspace, to promote Public Enemy #1. I don’t look forward to any of it.
