During a recent episode of Cam’ron’s new YouTube show Talk With Flee, he discussed Jay-Z’s 2019 B-Sides 2 concert. He recalled joining the Roc Nation founder for a performance of “Welcome to New York,” as well as a “weird” conversation he had with him after the fact.
“He texts me, ‘Yo, that was dope last night.’ [I replied,] ‘That was really dope, I appreciate you guys putting this sh*t to bed.’ He was like, ‘Yeah, man. See how much sh*t we can do when n***s stop acting like there’s fake beef out here. That sh*t slows sh*t down,’” Cam remembered. He continued, revealing that Jay-Z’s text left him confused. “I didn’t know how to take that. I didn’t know what he meant when he text that. I replied, ‘Well, no matter what, you, Dame and Biggs gave me the opportunity to feed my family legally, so I don’t have no problem with it,’” he said.
Cam’Ron Discusses His Relationship With Jay-Z On Talk With Flee
“But inside, I’m like, ‘Why would he even text that?’ I don’t know. Even to this day, I don’t have no problem but I thought that was weird,” Cam’ron added. He went on to discuss his relationship with Jay-Z nowadays and reveal whether or not he could ever see a collab in their future. “I haven’t seen or spoke to JAY-Z since then,” he admitted. “I respect the hustler in JAY-Z — pause — I respect the music he does. Are we good? I hope we good! I don’t know. If I see him and we speak, cool. If not, it’s not gonna make or break what I got going on.”
“As far as a collab going on, I dn’t know what a collab is,” he also added. “I’m not doing music full-time. Obviously, he’s not doing music full-time. So that’s not really on my plate right now but I do respect everything [he] got going on businesswise.”
Dame Dash and 50 Cent are still at odds, and two rap moguls bickering over Internet antics and back-and-forth trolls is jsut as overblown as you would expect. As for the most recent development, the former recently sat down for an interview on his America Nu Network on Monday (November 4), speaking on a clip of 50 and Cam’ron meeting at Steve Stoute’s SelectCon shindig in New York last month. Specifically, the Roc-A-Fella executive questioned how the G-Unit mogul seemingly tapped Killa Cam’s behind, or at least the hip area. Why is this so relevant? Well, we don’t know for sure, but here’s Dame’s explanation.
“Yo, why you smacking Cam on his a** like that?” Dame Dash asked about 50 Cent. “Pause! Like what? In this environment, in a tight-a** suit? […] What do you do when a strong-a** n***a with a tight suit smacks you on the a**? You got to say stop. No pat-pat. We not in the pat-pat club. […] Harlem n***as don’t do the pat-pat club. When you see n***as from Harlem just give them a pound. Once you get to a certain level, don’t mean you start patting n***as on they hips. Especially not Cam’ron. No pat-pat club.” Check out the full interview by clicking here or see an excerpt down below.
Of course, 50 Cent already seems to have clapped back at Dame Dash speaking on his behavior, and for other reasons. This week, he trolled Dame for how his grills fell out while calling him out for his shade online, using this to mount onto new criticism. “So let me get this straight,” the Queens MC captioned his Instagram post responding to how Dash wanted people to talk about his dental mishap. “@Dame dash you was praying your teeth fell out, so people would talk about it. yeah you broke for real, this is a new low ! keep my name out your mouth, and your teeth in ok ? LOL.”
It’s funny that said dental mishap was such a big deal for Dame Dash, even if 50 Cent took full advantage of the optics. We’ll see what else these two clash over…

At SelectCon NYC, in a candid reveal, 50 Cent discussed his financial sacrifices during the initial seasons of Power, his hit TV series. Agreeing to be paid only $17,000 per episode, he prioritized retaining creative control to ensure the show’s authenticity. This early decision paved the way for the series to become a pop culture phenomenon, allowing him to leverage the show’s success to secure a stronger deal later. His story was a masterclass in trusting the creative process and focusing on the long game.
Joe Budden’s Tough-Love Advice to Aspiring Podcasters: “Stop Begging”

50 Cent and Cam’ron Reunite at SelectCon: The Legendary Backstage Reunion

At SelectCon NYC, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson shared a little-known story about his early financial sacrifices to bring his hit series Power to life. In a candid discussion, 50 Cent revealed that he accepted just $17,000 per episode during the show’s initial seasons—a fraction of what a show of Power’s caliber might typically demand. But there was a reason for this decision: retaining creative control. For Jackson, it was essential to produce the series on his terms, ensuring the authenticity and vision that would ultimately make it a massive hit. As the show’s popularity soared, 50 Cent used his early investment and Power’s undeniable success as leverage to negotiate a significantly better deal. His story underlines the importance of prioritizing creative freedom and trusting the process—sometimes even before financial rewards start rolling in.
During an insightful conversation with Steve Stoute at SelectCon, Joe Budden offered tough love to beginner podcasters, urging them to focus on growth rather than early payouts. ‘Don’t come to me about a check until you’ve put in the work and garnered an audience,’. Pointing out that too many newcomers prioritize compensation before building a following. Budden’s advice reflects his own journey in the podcasting world and highlights the importance of dedication and consistency in achieving success in the industry.
Earlier this month, Angel Reese sparked a major debate by revealing that her WNBA salary isn’t enough to cover her rent. In a clip that quickly made its rounds online, the athlete explained that her rent is $8K per month. Her WNBA salary, on the other hand, is $74K.
“I’m living above my means,” Reese joked at the time. “Hating pays them bills, baby. I just hope you know the WNBA don’t pay my bills at all. I don’t even think that pays one of my bills. Literally, I’m trying to think of my rent for where I stay at [in Chicago]. I’m gonna do the math real quick. I don’t even know my [WNBA] salary… Babe, if y’all thought… I wouldn’t even be able to eat a sandwich with [the WNBA salary]. I wouldn’t even be able to live.”
Cam’ron Tells Angel Reese Not To Take Her Income For Granted
Cam’ron calls out Angel Reese for not doing the right math to figure out how much she spends on rent and says he hopes Angel Reese doesn’t go broke as he reacts to her claim that her $73,000 WNBA salary can’t cover her bills.
Of course, Reese’s comments earned mixed reactions from viewers. While some figured that she was just messing around, and pointed out her multiple streams of income, others were concerned. During a recent episode of It Is What It Is, Cam’ron shared his take. After poking fun at Reese a bit for her comments, he gave her some solid advice, encouraging her not to take her income for granted.
“I’m having fun a little but seriously, make sure that you stay on top of all that because you’re young, you’re pretty, you have a lot going on,” he said. “Outside of the WNBA I’m pretty sure you have a lot of money coming in endorsements. Don’t take it for granted and don’t sit here and think that it’s going to last forever because you’re still young, you have a lot of time. Make sure you watch your money.” What do you think of Cam’ron’s take on Angel Reese revealing that her WNBA salary doesn’t cover her rent?

In a pretty unexpected series of events, Cam’ron and basketball journeyman LiAngelo Ball have gotten into a tense verbal battle. According to HipHopDX, this all began on the set of the former’s platform It Is What It Is recently. They got on the subject of LiAngelo not being able to make the NBA like his older and younger brothers Lonzo and LaMelo. Cam jokingly conjured up what Gelo’s siblings said to him, teasing, “We tried, we did everything we could. We gotta tryout in China for you, that’s all we got.” This got to LiAngelo, and he would eventually respond on his own podcast with Lonzo, What an Experience.
“‘Suck It Or Not’ with Lil Wayne, that’s all I remember from you. You don’t know my story like that. To say, ‘Oh, he got a tryout in China,’ you don’t know what I did in the G League, boy. I’m out here hooping.” Cam would come back with how he only knows about him because of his dad LaVar and went after his shoplifting incident. “Gelo, I ain’t got no problem with you, I just gotta call it like I see it. You’re lucky Trump was in China ’cause they might have cut your fingers off over stealing those sunglasses, n****.” Gelo responded to that by going in on Cam’s legacy. “Since you wanna talk about all the rap s*** and I’m not good and I’m not this and I’m not that, I’ve never talked to someone and you’ve been in [their] top five, top 10, bro. I’ve never heard your name in no rap convo… We in the same boat, n****. I didn’t make the league and you ain’t in no top 10s.”

Oh, but we aren’t done just yet though. Cam’ron addressed the comments above and looked to go for the knockout punch on the show today. “A championship for musicians is going platinum. As a producer, ghostwriter, executive producer and artist I have 12 million records on my resume I don’t need to be on someone’s top 5 I’m good,” he said. He then rhetorically asked Gelo where he was at since the NBA season got underway last night. It’s a pretty big blow from the New York native and he certainly has the last laugh right now.

What are your thoughts on LiAngelo Ball and Cam’ron’s back and forth? Who is currently up in this war of words? Did Cam finish the second oldest brother? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding LiAngelo Ball and Cam’ron. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the worlds of music, sports, and pop culture.
On his It Is What It Is sports talk show with Mase, Cam’ron recently claimed that he turned down an offer from New York City Mayor Eric Adams to receive the key to the city. This was apparently before Adams received a federal indictment over corruption-related charges, for which he pleaded not guilty. However, it was also after the mayor gave the key to Diddy in September 2023. You probably recall that the Bad Boy mogul returned the key in May of this year after his various sexual assault allegations poured in (plus the Cassie assault video), leading up to his current federal indictment.
As for how Cam’ron revealed this, he remarked on the matter after Mase threw some shots at his ex higher-up Diddy, which led Cam to bring up Eric Adams’ situation. “You know what’s crazy?” he asked. “This is word to everything I love. Last month, they called me to see if I wanted the key to the city. I said, ‘I don’t want to be involved with nothing.’ I said, ‘That ain’t really up my alley right now, I’m cool with the key to New York City, man.’”
Then, Cam’ron claimed that Eric Adams’ office were the ones to call him. “I don’t want nothing that has to do with the keys to the city, the n***as giving them out, or the n***as that previously had them,” he shared. “I don’t got nothing to do with the key to the city, I don’t got nothing to do with that.” Elsewhere, Killa Cam is actually gearing up for a new show Talk With Flee. In a trailer for it, he spoke on his relationship with Jay-Z, the Dipset versus The LOX Verzuz, and a whole lot more.
Meanwhile, we all know that It Is What It Is can turn into a roast fest more than a reflection on current events. For example, Cam’ron recently called Shannon Sharpe out for seemingly prioritizing advice from white men concerning his recent IG Live sex scandal. Cam and Mase felt like he insinuated that other Black commentators who criticized Sharpe are beneath him, so we can expect their animosity to develop further.
Ever since the viral Shannon Sharpe sex tape “accident”, some people online have been incredibly skeptical. One of those is rapper and sports talk host, Cam’ron. The de facto leader of the It Is What It Is program has raised questions, essentially asking how Shannon did this by mistake and why would he do such a thing. Overall, he feels that it was completely staged, and that the ex-NFL tight end was looking to go viral again. The Club Shay Shay founder has vehemently denied that was the case on multiple occasions. But Cam’ron didn’t stop there with Shannon Sharpe. Not too long ago, he recreated the wild incident by “having sex in a car”, which got more unbelievable by the second.
However, the Dipset MC is done teasing the ESPN employee now. Instead, him and the rest of his panel are feeling some type of way about some recent comments that Sharpe made. The latter was addressing all of the people (including Cam indirectly) that were claiming this sex tape was done on purpose. Essentially, Shannon doesn’t understand why others are coming to this conclusion. Especially when he knows he could lose tons of money from sponsors and advertisers for his podcast. He says he could understand the skepticism if his platform was trying to gain a bigger audience. But otherwise, he’s not trying to hear that. However, who he would listen to in the space are names like “Joe Rogan”, “Alex Cooper”, and “The Kelce brothers”, Jason & Travis.
Cam’ron Is Not Joking Around With Shannon Sharpe Anymore
Cam’ron From itiswhatitis responds back to Shannon sharpe after he said he only takes criticism from joe rogan and the Kelce brothers,This comes after cam said he staged the Sex tape pic.twitter.com/HrpE4TtHRG
He mentioned these names because Sharpe feels their shows are above his and he would listen to their criticism because of that. That comment right there is what got Cam and Ma$e in particular to unleash. The former took Shannon’s statement in a racial manner, saying that he’s only going to listen to the “white man”. Ma$e made sure to take it a step further saying that Shannon was trying to convey that “everybody black is beneath him”. Shannon may not have meant it like that, but it will be interesting to see if he addresses these remarks.
What are your thoughts on Cam’ron calling out Shannon Sharpe for saying he would only listen to certain podcasts criticisms of the sex tape mishap? Who do you think is wrong here and why? Do you still think it was an accident or was it staged? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Cam’ron and Shannon Sharpe. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the pop culture world.
Shannon Sharpe isn’t going to live down this sex tape debacle for quite some time. Right now, it’s at its peak meme status with loads of people online trolling the ex-NFL star in numerous ways. However, Cam’ron is really going the distance with it by staging his own Shannon Sharpe “sex tape”. According to HipHopDX, the New York rapper and talk show host instead shared it to the Instagram feed and while it’s merciless, it’s also pure comedy. Instead of taking place at his home, Cam’ron decides to up the ante by trying to perform multiple acts while driving.
As the video goes on, things get increasingly more unrealistic, so buckle up (no pun intended). Cam’ron starts off with pretending to receive oral. During this portion you can hear him say things like “suck it” and “watch your teeth b****”. Making all of this even more hysterical is the number of times he looks back at his phone laying down on the floor in the backseat. After that, Cam’ron asks the woman he’s with to “get on top while I drive”. “She does” and while “doing the deed”, the Dipset MC cleverly and hilariously says, “That’s how I drive my b****es crazy”.
This all going on while Killa Cam is operating the pedals, and the woman is controlling the steering wheel. Then, he wraps things up with “sucking milk from her breasts” before “finishing”. Finally, after their wild experience, Cam turns to phone and is “shocked” to learn that he was on IG Live. “Oh s***, the phone on! I’m on Live! Let me turn this s*** off”. He also kicked Shannon Sharpe while he’s down, captioning the post, “My bad I was hacked y’all ”.
What are your thoughts on Cam’ron filming a parody of Shannon Sharpe’s accidental sex tape? Do you think the latter is going to say something on Nightcap? Is this one of the funniest videos you have seen this year? Are you buying that Shannon called it an accident? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Cam’ron and Shannon Sharpe. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the pop culture world.
