Key Takeaways

  • Cam’ron claimed on REVOLT’s Talk With Flee that Dame Dash vowed to make diabetes “hot” after a promotional deal and warned people not to fake having the condition.
  • Cam stressed that he wasn’t mocking diabetes and praised Dash for managing his health, but Dash has not publicly confirmed the conversation.
  • Dash, who has Type 1 diabetes, previously named Afrezza as a sponsor of his diabetes network; the story comes amid his ongoing feud with Cam and a 2025 defamation lawsuit.

Cam'ron claims Dame Dash once told him he was going to make diabetes "hot" after landing a promotional deal with a diabetes company, and even warned people not to start pretending they had the condition because of his influence.

During Wednesday's episode of REVOLT's Talk With Flee, the Dipset rapper recalled a conversation in which Dash allegedly believed he could make diabetes trendy through his involvement with the company.

"Now when I make diabetes hot, I don't want hear n***as acting like they got diabetes, bro," Cam recalled Dash telling him. "I don't want to hear it B cause now n***as going to fake like they got diabetes cause I'm going to get diabetes hot."

He also praised Dash for taking care of his health despite their ongoing feud.

However, Cam couldn't get over Dash's belief that his influence could make people pretend to have a serious medical condition.

"You going to make diabetes hot? People dying from it," Cam recalled thinking.

Although Cam didn't identify the company or specify when the conversation happened, Dash has previously launched the Dash Diabetes Network in 2017. The music mogul, who was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at 15, previously told Andscape that Afrezza, an inhaled insulin treatment, sponsored his initiative.

"That's the one I inhale. And they also sponsor the Dash Diabetes Network," he said.

The story comes amid an ongoing feud between the former collaborators.

Cam previously claimed their issues escalated after he criticized Dash's 2018 film Honor Up, accusing the entrepreneur of turning their disagreement into a prolonged campaign against him.

Dash later filed a defamation lawsuit against Cam in 2025, and the two have continued exchanging public insults.
