Dale Traverso They started beefing after the Horse and Carriage video was supposed to come out ... Mase was on Confessions of Fire and was never paid for them tracks. Then Cam does a video for 357 and H&C ... Mase felt like Cam should have gotten the label to pay up ... he didn’t and the friendship sizzled. Mase got into some heat with Baby Maine and Cam kept addressing it in his lyrics for years ...

Honestly, ain’t no recovering from this. Ma$e hasn’t touched a studio in years and absolutely ripped him.
