Speaking on the latest episode of Talk With Flee, Cam'ron spoke to Dame Dash, who recently said that he shouldn't have to work anymore since he helped several other people mint millions of dollars. Cam'ron believes Dame Dash could do with better financial planning as opposed to living a life that's difficult to maintain.

Cam claimed that Dame Dash works too much but doesn't know how to save his money:

"You can't stop hustling. All them people Dame put on that he named, it wasn't like they got a chunk of money and stopped. Everybody kept hustling, they kept going," he said.

Cam'ron went on, noting that he would do better with the opportunities Dame Dash has been given in his life:

"After opportunity, it's about keeping on hustling," said Cam. "I would love to do the things Dame did. Fly private for five years straight buy two mansions in London you got a mansion in London just for your n***as and then a personal mansion in London for something else or renting them or whatever. You just got mansions in London. We not even from London. We just going to f**king London hanging out."

He went on, listing a few of the things Dame has purchased over the years, including a massive mansion in Alpine, New Jersey, two $20,000 lofts in Tribeca, and more. Cam'ron thinks Dame has to keep working to maintain his lavish lifestyle:

"Bro if you live like that you got to keep hustling you can't do buy all that sh*t you bought, and I'm being nice," Cam added. "I'm not even naming half of it. You can't buy all that sh*t and spend all that money and then be like, 'I shouldn't have to work anymore.' I ain't have half the sh*t I just named. I ain't have no two lofts in SoHo, I ain't have no two mansions in London I ain't fly private every day for six, seven, eight, nine years. I ain't have no da*n urinal."

He gave his own example, noting that he's

"good at budgeting money, thank God, and thank God I keep coming up with different hustles to do this."

He also expressed gratitude to Dame for giving him an "opportunity to get me back on my feet," and conceded that he "may not be here if it wasn't for Dame," but he "took off" from there and "kept doing other things."

Cam'ron ended his segment by noting that the music executive "spends crazy," adding:

"Dame would be set for life if he knew how to manage his money," said Cam. "He made more than enough money not to work anymore, but he wanted to keep hustling, and I dig it; it's in him. That's just something he wants to do, but when it's not working out, you can't get mad at other people."

At the time of writing, Dame Dash has yet to respond to his friend's assessment of his spending habits, though, as reported by Complex, in the past, his former business partner Jay-Z echoed the sentiments in his track Lost One.
