K Camp Says ‘Renegade’ Dance Was STOLEN for Fortnite! , 21 Savage , Young Dolph , Da Baby & Ye

Loon & K Camp kick off the latest It’s Up There Podcast by debating whether an artist should roll with personal security or move solo (0:00). The conversation then shifts to a controversial moment in Atlanta when K Camp gave out plaques to only a few local DJs—leading to major backlash and prompting him to leave the city (9:13). They revisit K Camp’s decision to drop $15k/month on luxury L.A. cribs while new acts like 21 Savage exploded back home (21:45). Later, K Camp reveals how he went years without label checks due to messy contracts (35:12) and opens up about surviving off club shows and mixtapes. The two then break down the viral success of “Lottery” (47:58), detailing the TikTok dance controversy sparked by a white influencer overshadowing a Black creator. K Camp also explains how that same record led to a Fortnite placement and forced his label’s hand to support him again (57:31). The episode winds down with K Camp celebrating full independence, emphasizing the importance of brand consistency, and teasing what’s next now that he’s free from label politics (1:05:42). Before the Renegade dance took over TikTok, it started with 14-year-old Jalaiah Harmon—the original creator who never got credit when the trend blew up. Influencers like Charli D’Amelio and Addison Rae made the dance famous, but Jalaiah was left in the shadows until the truth came out. The viral moment sparked major debates about crediting Black creators, leading to changes on social media. Now, K Camp, the artist behind Lottery (Renegade), speaks on what really happened, how his song became a global sensation, and the impact of the controversy. 📍 Join the conversation & drop your thoughts in the comments!
