Cam’ron is officially done going back and forth with Dame Dash through interviews and IG posts, so he decided to handle it on wax. On Monday afternoon, the Harlem rapper hopped on Instagram to announce that a brand new diss track aimed at his former Roc-A-Fella boss was dropping at 5 p.m. EST.
By the end of the day, the song was out, officially titled “Dusky, Pt. 2,” though Cam has been promoting it under the name “Do The Dusky.” The whole rollout is part diss record, part dance challenge, and entirely about humiliating Dame in the most public way possible. Cam announced that he is giving away $1,500 to the best individual dancer and $3,000 to the best group of three or more people who pull off the “Dusky Dance,” with winners revealed on the final May episode of his show “Talk With Flee.” He did not let Dame off the hook in the promo either.

“Yo Dame you should enter you probably have the best chance to win,” Cam wrote on IG. “And I know u need the money.”
The preview clip Cam posted set the tone. It showed Dame dancing while footage of homeless people and people with no teeth was edited into the visuals. That last detail was a direct reference to Dame’s teeth falling out on Live and the eye patch he had to wear after recent surgery. Cam aimed at every soft spot, including Dame’s finances.
“Hawaiian suit Dusko go crazy,” Cam captioned the rollout. “We gonna #DoTheDusky all Summer.”
For anybody who has not been keeping up, Cam and Dame have been at each other’s throats for what feels like forever, but things really heated up after 50 Cent announced in 2025 that he had acquired the rights to “Paid in Full,” the 2002 film Dame produced. Fif said he planned to turn it into a TV series and named Cam, who played Rico in the original, as executive producer. That single move pushed an already shaky relationship past the point of repair.Dame has been talking on his end ever since.
He has been chastising Cam for becoming a sportscaster on “It Is What It Is,” questioning the renewed friendship with Ma$e, and calling that whole reunion a transactional cash grab. Cam has been throwing jabs of his own, including asking Kevin Hart about Dame in a recent interview that went viral. The latest “Dusky” rollout was just the moment Cam decided talking was over.Dame did not waste any time clapping back. He hopped on Instagram and went straight for Cam’s mouth.
“Look at Fredo aka Cheap Teeth @mr_camron singing to another man, you might want to keep my name out of your mouth and go back to talking about sweaty men for a living,” he wrote. He has been sticking with his “fly n***as don’t talk about sweaty men” line for weeks now, even challenging Cam to a teeth off, claiming his dentist has more Ferraris.
What makes this whole thing wild is the history. Dame and Cam are both Harlem natives who came up together. Dame brought Cam over to Roc-A-Fella in 2001, and the “Come Home With Me” era that followed gave the culture classics like “Oh Boy” and “Hey Ma.” That run cemented Cam as one of the biggest artists on the label and helped turn Dipset into a full movement. Now the same two men who built that history are going at each other with diss tracks, dental jokes, and dance challenges instead of moving in silence.
Cam has previously tried to frame the situation as something that should have stayed private. On “The Danza Project” he said Dame “done so much” for him and that he is “forever grateful” for the Roc-A-Fella shot. He said his real problem is that Dame keeps taking the issues to the internet. Considering Cam just turned the beef into a whole song with a viral dance and a cash prize, that ship has officially sailed.
Now everybody is waiting to see if Dame swings back with his own record or keeps it strictly Instagram comments. Either way, “Dusky, Pt. 2” is out, the Dusky Dance challenge is live until May 31, and two of Harlem’s most iconic figures are stuck in a beef nobody is sure how to end.
