Cam\u2019ron has given some insight into the real reason why Juelz Santana and Lil Wayne\u2018s long-awaited collaborative album\u00a0I Can\u2019t Feel My Face<\/em> never saw the light of day.<\/p>\n

In the mid-2000s, Juelz and Weezy had fans in a frenzy with reports of a joint album on the horizon \u2013 but nothing came to light. There ended up being a version of the album that leaked online, and there was very little fanfare compared to what there could have been had the project got a full release.<\/p>\n

During the latest episode of his Talk With Flee<\/em> show that aired on Tuesday (February 11), Killa addressed the ongoing narrative that he\u2019d blocked the effort from coming out \u2013 though he did admit it was \u201cwhen we wasn\u2019t all on the same page.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLil Wayne wasn\u2019t the super superstar,\u201d the Dipset rapp<\/a>er began. \u201cHe was a star, but remember Lil Wayne emerged into a superstar after Tha Carter<\/em> [albums] and \u2018A Milli\u2019 and all that shit. So [Wayne] didn\u2019t put out his first album yet [at this point.]\u201d<\/p>\n

Cam continued: \u201cSo Juelz and Lil Wayne had a project. Def Jam is under Universal, which Lil Wayne was signed to. So when they wanted to put this project out, Universal told Def Jam, \u2018Well Lil Wayne still didn\u2019t give us his album yet so if y\u2019all wanna put this project out, we\u2019re taking 95% and Def Jam, y\u2019all could take 5%.\u2019 And so Steve Garley \u2013 shout to Steve Garley. He\u2019s now the head lawyer for Universal [and] at the time he was the head lawyer for Def Jam. And we still good to this day.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a joint venture deal with Def Jam so if that project came out that means that Def Jam would get 2.5 percent of the album and me and Juelz would get 2.5 percent of the album. And they said, \u2018Cam, we love you and all that \u2013 but we\u2019re not doing that. We can\u2019t do that.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd they was more on that tip because Lil Wayne didn\u2019t even hand in his project yet. So they like, \u2018How we gonna okay the Juelz and Wayne project if Lil Wayne didn\u2019t even hand in his project? Maybe we can revisit it after Lil Wayne\u2019s project comes out but until then, no.’\u201d<\/p>\n

He concluded, \u201cSo, Steve Garley and Def Jam at the particular time didn\u2019t okay it \u2013 but I get the blame.\u201d<\/p>\n

The convo happens around the 33-minute mark below.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s to be noted that Lil Wayne released Tha Carter<\/em> in 2004, which was his fourth studio album. The platinum-selling Tha Carter II<\/em> followed a year and a half later in late 2005.<\/p>\n

He and Juelz started teasing a joint project around 2005\/2006, so at minimum Weezy was four albums in by that point \u2013 if not five. However, Cam\u2019ron may have slightly misremembered the timeline and the label may have been waiting on a specific project that they\u2019d not yet received.<\/p>\n

In a November 2022 interview with VLAD TV<\/a>, Juelz addressed the project as well and blamed its lack of release on \u201cpolitics\u201d \u2013 which sounds essentially like what Cam was saying.<\/p>\n

\u201cMe and Wayne, just like normal, we did a bunch of records together,\u201d Juelz explained. \u201cA project worth got leaked. About 20 records did get leaked out there, which is the I Can\u2019t Feel My Face<\/em> you see. Politics wise, we didn\u2019t get to put the album out on a major label because there was too much politics at the time, and you had Def Jam, Universal, Cash Money and Diplomats, you know what I\u2019m saying?<\/p>\n

\u201cFour different entities that had to come upon an agreement and come under one accord to push a project. As you see, Wayne was supposed to drop an album with T-Pain, the T-Wayne album. That album never came out. Just so you know, it wasn\u2019t a Juelz and Wayne [situation].\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cThat time, like the way you get projects now from big artists, you didn\u2019t get back in the day around our time because it was so much involved for you to get that. It was never about the artists, we were cool, and we was making music together. It was way bigger than us. We didn\u2019t have the end-all control. See, now it\u2019s a lot less. That\u2019s why you can have a Durk and Lil Baby, you can have Drake and Future.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
