Cam’ron and Ma$e have enjoyed a great deal of success beyond music with their sports talk show, It Is What It Is, though they still haven’t put down the mics either.
In an in-depth conversation with GQ that was published on Thursday (February 15), Killa discussed ideas for putting together a Dr. Phil-type show and defended Drake’s Dipset fandom, among several other things. Over the interview, the New York native also revealed plans he has with his longtime friend and collaborator.
“Ma$e comes back from tour January 20, so maybe around the end of February or March, we’ll take the show on the road,” he said, to which the article’s writer added: “He also says he and Ma$e already have a few songs together, though it’s up to Ma$e to decide when to drop them.”
Cam’ron and Ma$e set aside their differences back in 2022, ending a long-standing feud that dated as far back as the late 1990s.

The two Harlem rappers were initially really close as they took the Hip Hop space by storm as both solo artists and teammates in the group Children Of The Corn, which also included Big L, Herb McGruff and Bloodshed.
After Ma$e decided to retire from rap and move to Atlanta to become a pastor, however, things got heated between them and a feud soon ensued that lasted for almost two decades.
While sitting down with Million Dollaz Worth of Game two years ago, Ma$e told hosts Gillie Da Kid and Wallo that he regretted the beef and even admitted that the dispute soiled a relationship he never wanted to ruin.
The Dipset leader also took responsibility for their frayed relationship last year on an episode of Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson’s All the Smoke podcast. Discussing his history with Murda, Cam revealed their issues were his fault as he elaborated on how they got back to being on good terms.

“Ma$e gave me an opportunity to get my first record deal,” he began. “He did a video for me – my first video ‘357,’ which was dope. And then I had another single with him, ‘Horse & Carriage,’ and he didn’t do that video so my label started gassing me like, ‘Yo why your man ain’t doing the video? He want $50,000 to do the video.’
“So I started feeding into that shit. I’m like, ‘Word, this n-gga acting funny charging me for the video?’ So we kind of fell out over that, got cool again. Then you know, he went to church. I kinda didn’t understand it at the time because that’s my man all day and I’m like, where church come from?”

Now, the dynamic duo is dominating the media landscape. Cam and Ma$e were featured on a 2023 list by Complex on the top sports media personalities. Thanks to the success of It Is What It Is, the duo was ranked No. 6.
