According to Cam’ron, the fractures within Roc-A-Fella were deep-rooted, stemming from a lack of communication and mutual respect among the key players. He pointed to a pivotal moment when Dame Dash promoted him and Beanie Sigel to vice president without consulting Jay-Z, a move that sowed discord at the heart of the label. “It started when they didn’t get Jay’s opinion or input,” Cam’ron stated, underscoring Jay’s growing detachment from the company.
