Cam'ron says Beef With Jay-Z Will Not Turn Violent

Yahoo! Music, Jan 23, 2006 2:00 pm PST
Rapper Cam'ron has unleashed a lyrical attack on Jay-Z, but during a recent interview with New York City radio station WQHT-FM, the rapper explained that he doesn't want the feud to turn violent. Cam'ron said, "At the end of the day, I don't want any violence. I'm trying to avoid it. It don't even make sense to do violence, we just trying to do music."

Cam'ron has released two diss records aimed at Jay-Z -- "Swagger Jacker" and "You Got It." On the latter, he insinuates that he slept with Jay-Z's girlfriend Beyonce Knowles, but during the interview, Cam'ron denied sleeping with her. He said, "This ain't nothing personal toward her, but I know what hurts his heart."

Jay-Z has yet to respond to the songs.
