The feud between Cam’Ron and Tru Life reached another level outside a club in New York on the night of April 30th. According to SOHH, New York radio personality Ed Lover was at the scene of the incident and explained: “What happened last night was Cam was standing in front of Club Stereo and Tru Life confronted him about what’s been going on back and forth on the mixtapes and they got into a physical confrontation. Pretty much Tru Life hit Cam, cops broke it up and everyone dispersed.”Ed Lover continued to comment, “As an OG in this business, I have a lot of love for both camps and I’m trying to mediate this because it’s starting to get to a point where it’s getting out of hand now. The worst thing we need is somebody really getting seriously injured. Having a little fight is one thing, but you know when it comes to that, the gunplay comes into it. We don’t need that. Hip hop got enough problems right now, we don’t need another black eye because of some dumb beef. It can be squashed.”
Since the incident, Ed Lover has spoken to both Jim Jones and Tru Life. The radio host went on to say, “It’s just a matter of getting dudes off that ‘f* the other dude’ thing and coming to a table and sitting dow. I think I’ll be able to do that and with the help of some of the other OG’s in the business we’ll be able to do that…We’re at a critical point with hip-hop right now. I feel like the future of hip hop is riding on the moves that we make within the next couple of months, because Don Imus was slick enough to throw hip-hop in the pot. I know both of these camps and I’m trying to do as much as I can do to mediate and at least get some kind of dialogue.”
No major injuries were sustained by either Cam or Tru Life in the altercation and neither party has pressed any charges.
