In a candid Diary of a CEO interview with BBC Dragons' Den star Steven Bartlett, the ex-Tory Party leader recounted an intense moment he claims he had with Cameron, his former Conservative ally.
Johnson says they clashed over the EU referendum and admitted tensions ran high at the time.
During the interview, Bartlett asked: "Did David Cameron react badly when he thought that you might be voting to leave? What did he say?"
Johnson claims Cameron told him: "If you come out and support remain, you can have a top five job in the cabinet. I couldn't work out what a top five job was."
He continued: "I was finding it very hard. I'd written lots and lots of articles pointing out the democratic problems of the EU and finally we had a chance to resolve this.
"I was thinking of coming out for leave and I didn't know how to put it to him, that was the truth. He said, 'this isn't about articles, this is about the future of the country'.
"I said, 'well I agree about the future of the country', but I was still thinking of coming out for leave. And he said, 'well, if you come out, I will f*** you up forever, which I thought was quite a big promise to make."

Johnson and Cameron's opposing beliefs during the Brexit referendum marked a turning point in contemporary UK politics.
In the summer of 2016, Cameron, who was Prime Minister at the time, was committed to delivering a referendum that meant Britain would continue its EU membership.
As an avid supporter of the remain campaign, Cameron was convinced the country's best interests lay within the EU. He argued staying in Europe would be best for economic stability and political clout.
