Cam'ron and Mase took the time to show love to Jermaine Dupri during the iconic rapper and music executive's appearance on It Is What It Is. Cam'ron began by recalling his contributions to his debut album, 1998’s Confessions of Fire. Mase, on the other hand, thanked him for helping him secure his first million dollars.
“[H]e’s on my first album with two different cuts, actually did a hook for me," Cam'ron said. "When I was young, I was real arrogant because my man Mase just sold four million records, and I’m thinking I’m supposed to sell four million records. And I don’t think I ever gave J.D. his flowers for even doing what he did for me. It meant a lot to me that you did that for me, because you invited me to your house and you didn’t have to do that. So I just want to tell you thank you in front of everybody, because I probably never even did it privately, let alone publicly."

I’m forever indebted to you for allowing me to be rich. You gave me my first million dollars.” Check out Dupri's full appearance on the show below.
