The number of untold Cam'ron stories floating within the hip-hop underground are surely vast in number. On a recent episode of Tax Stone's Tax Season podcast hip-hop insider Karen Civil shared a particularly amusing story about how Cam and the Dipset team might have found themselves kicked out of the Def Jam building over a parking spot.

"I’ll never forget this," Civil says of the story."Jay Z was pulling up in his Maybach, right? You know how Def Jam was on the side of the Universal building at the time? So Cam was in this turtle top like parked right there and he was talking to Duke, we were near the car. And then this Maybach wants to pull up and they honk. I’m like 'Oh I think that’s Hov' so I back up. Cam’s like 'chill out.' So then the car beeps again. And Cam ain’t move. So then Jay had to get out the car and he walked over cause he wanted to see who was in the car, like who wouldn’t move out the way. So then he came over, he looked... Dipset was out of the building the next week. And so we set up shop in Juelz’s studio for a little bit."

Civil continues to explain that Jay wasn't hostile during the incident and never even indicated that he was bothered. "He dapped everyone, he nodded, he made a mental note," she said. "Then they said, I think it was HR or whatever, is like, 'Hey guys I’m gonna need you to wrap this up cause technically you guys aren’t here.' It was such a crazy experience, but Cam is Cam, he don’t care. He’s still the same now on his Instagram. You gotta love him for who he is. He doesn’t switch up."

The story sheds a bit of light on the past tensions between Jay and Dipset and provides for a good laugh as Cam's stubbornness seemingly knows no bounds. Listen to the full podcast below, with the parking spot story starting around the 17:30 mark.
