Judge Orders Cam’ron to Pay $50K For Using Copyrighted Image Of Himself On Dipset Merch

Cam’ron was ordered by a judge pay over $50,000 to a photographer for using her copyrighted photo of him on Dipset merchandise without permission.

A federal judge has ordered Cam’ron to pay more than $50,000 to a photographer for using her photo – a shot of the Dipset rapper wearing a fuzzy pink coat and hat while holding a matching flip phone – on a slew of merchandise without permission. A year after Djamilla Cochran sued the rapper(real name Cameron Giles) and his company Dipset Couture for slapping her image on merch, Judge William Martini ruled Thursday that he had indeed committed copyright infringement. In an April lawsuit filed in New Jersey federal court, Cochran claimed that Cam had featured the image on t-shirts, jewelry and a slew of other merchandise sold by his Dipset Couture — including shower curtains, pillows, swimsuits, socks and even a birthday cake.
