Cam’ron Walks Off “It Is What It Is Set” Upon Hearing Of Dwyane Wade’s Nail Care Brand Plans

by

Cam’ron is infamously not a fan of Dwyane Wade’s painted nails, so his reaction when he heard that he might be planning to launch his own nail care brand was anything but surprising. Moreover, he straight-up walked off the set of his co-hosted sports talk show, It Is What It Is, when they broached the subject, cutting the episode off early. It was quite the extreme reaction and one that fans were quick to either clown or agree with on social media. Either way, regardless of where you stand on the “painted nails” debacle, are we really going to make such a big deal out of someone capitalizing on the financial and social interest in that?

Jokes aside, Cam’ron has more pressing athletic threats to address when it comes to the subjects of his occasional ire. For example, Shakur Stevenson warned that he might just drop a diss track against him after the Dipset member threatened to slap Stevenson if they ever met. This whole beef seemed to stem from comments about the boxer being a poor fighter on It Is What It Is, so Mase also got his fair share of bashing. At least we know that Dwyane Wade is not that combative with the trolls.

Cam’ron Is In Disbelief With Dwyane Wade’s Planned Nail Care Line

But for every sports superstar that Cam’ron finds beef with, his appreciation for one particular football legend is greater than all his anger at his opps combined. Of course, we’re talking about O.J. Simpson, and the New York rapper even dressed up as him for his Fourth Of July celebrations. They shared a pretty close and somewhat controversial bond over the years, one that he spoke touchingly on once Simpson passed away. So don’t go thinking that Killa Cam is just a frustrated guy: he’s got plenty of love to share.

Meanwhile, Cam’ron is sadly not the only person hating on Dwyane Wade’s nail care line plans. It’s an unfortunately regressive mentality to have against someone who has shown nothing but support to his family. Wade didn’t have to put others down while doing so, but that’s just the way the cookie crumbles sometimes. Let’s see if Cam ever actually talks about it…

Shakur Stevenson Intensifies Cam’ron Beef By Threatening To Drop A Song

by

Shakur Stevenson and Cam’ron are combative personalities. The thing is, they usually keep their beef to their respective areas of expertise. Stevenson trash talks other boxers, while Cam’ron makes fun of other rappers on record. Their disdain for one another has resulted in a beef that’s crossed mediums, however. Cam’ron claimed that he would “slap fire” out of the boxer if he ever saw him, and Shakur Stevenson decided to return the favor by saying that he would drop a song on the rapper.

The claim was made via Twitter on July 9. In order to make sense of it, though, we have to go through the entire interaction between Shakur Stevenson, Cam’ron, and Cam’s podcast partner, Mase. The latter two dissed Stevenson on their podcast, It Is What It Is. They claimed that he was a bad fighter, which led to a Twitter exchange in which Stevenson claimed he was “ready for war.” Cam chimed in, noting how easy it was to offend the boxer. “I see why they call you Shakur Twitterson,” the rapper joked. “My n**ga, four hours of tweeting about me and Mase is wild. You boring, n**ga! I thought I was rather polite about it.”

Shakur Stevenson Attacked Cam’ron And Mase On Twitter

Stevenson had more to say. He proceeded to lay into both rappers, and even make a crack about Mase’s relationship with Diddy. “Boys ain’t gone do sh*t bout it either,” he wrote. “[If] Cam’ron ever lift his hand up this way I’m putting him right out soft ass old n**ga. “Mase go get back on Diddy playing wit yo man hood f*ck boy.” It was the claim that followed that really caught the attention of fans, though. Stevenson decided that he was going to beat Cam and Mase at their own game. “I’m bout to get in the studio next week,” he tweeted. “I’m gone drop a Hit watch.”

To be clear, Shakur Stevenson has never released music. He tried to attack Mase from a musical standpoint, claiming the rapper had a “failed career.” This is where Cam was really able to lay into the boxer. “Mase was Michael Jackson after Michael Jackson, n**ga,” Cam’ron tweeted. “Before Drake. He sold five million in three weeks… Mase is one million percent a better rapper than you are a boxer!” If Shakur Stevenson lives up to his claim, however, fans will get out whether he can hold his own with Cam and Mase on wax.

Cam’ron Dresses Like OJ Simpson For Fourth Of July Celebration

by

Cam’ron is no stranger to controversy. His career has been littered with bold actions and statements, and Fourth of July proved to be a textbook example. The rapper attended a Fourth of July costume party in Las Vegas, and dressed up as none other than OJ Simpson. Cam’ron went the whole nine yards with the costume, too. He donned a complete football uniform, complete with helmet and Simpson’s name on the back of the jersey. Cam even posted a video of him wearing the outfit on Instagram.

“OJ was here!!!! Happy INDEPENDENCE DAY,” he wrote in the caption. “This ain’t really Our holiday.. But it Feels good not to have to answer to nobody!! #FreeN**ga #IIWII.” Anybody familiar with Cam’ron and Mase’s podcast It Is What It Is knows that the rapper was very close to OJ Simpson. The latter regularly appeared on the podcast to provide sports takes and make general small talk. Simpson’s death in April hit both Cam’ron and Mase hard. The duo even reflected on Simpson’s legacy during an episode of the podcast.

Cam’ron made it very clear that he came to look upon OJ like a member of his family. “I just wanna say it was great working with OJ,” he noted. “He’ll truly be missed and I love him like a real, real uncle so I’m really sorry this happened. At the end of the day, I’m glad that we did get to spend the last few months with him.” Cam’ron and Mase’s decision to have Simpson on the podcast, despite his controversial past, was criticized by many. Both rappers defended Simpson publicly, and asserted that he was found not guilty of the crimes he was accused of back in 1995.

Cam’ron, in particular, claimed that he did not think Simpson was a criminal. If he did, he would have not had him on the podcast. “Look, if he was guilty we wouldn’t have him on the show,” the rapper explained to Complex. He then posited that the continued criticisms of Simpson was due to his race. “Y’all want to keep convicting an innocent man. He’s innocent. If it was somebody else whiter, y’all would say ‘oh he’s innocent.’”

Cam’ron Celebrated Independence Day By Dressing Up As His ‘Honorary Uncle’ O.J. Simpson

Whether on his It Is What It Is podcast with friend and co-host Mase or on wax, Cam’ron is known to ruffle a few feathers. Yesterday (July 4), the “What You Did” showed way.

In a video uploaded to his personal Instagram page, to celebrate Independence Day, Cam’ron decided to dress up as the late O.J. Simpson.

“OJ was here,” he wrote. “Happy Independence Day! This ain’t really our holiday… But it feels good not to have to answer to nobody!”

To the outside looking in, it may seem odd, but the pair have a relationship well before Simpson’s passing. For weeks before his death, Simpson would appear on his podcast to share his thoughts on trending sports topics, so during a taping, Cam’ron passed respect to the former football player.

“I used to go f*ck with O.J. off the show, when there wasn’t no show,” he said. “I’d go to the bar and meet him, we’d go to lunch. And people where we stay at loved O. They really, really loved O.J.. I just want to say it was great working with O.J., he’ll truly be missed. And I love him like a real, real uncle, man. So I’m really sorry this happened. But at the end of the day, I’m glad that we did get to spend the last few months with him, at least one day out the week for me, minimum.”

Mase Recalled Beefing With Big L Over Rap Lyrics And How It Led To Him Getting Robbed For His Rolex

by

Although hip-hop is 50 years old, allowing plenty of time for all kinds of histories to be remembered, there are still new stories to share and discover every day. Case in point, Mase‘s tale of an unexpected feud with fellow Harlemite the late Big L, and how it led to Mase taking a “big L” of his own, which he recounted on the latest episode of his and Cam’ron‘s podcast, It Is What It Is.

Mase explained how the rivalry started, recalling, “[Big L] started using a few of my lyrics… So I checked the n****.” After the confrontation, he said, he bumped into another rapper, Fat Joe, who was in a group with Big L called Diggin In The Crates (they have one album out together, D.I.T.C., released in 2000, and it’s really good. You should check it out). Joe refused to get into the confrontation, so L resorted to asking other mutual acquaintances to handle things.

Eventually, Mase was confronted by a stick-up boy (alongside basketball legend God Shammgod), and in order to get away, he took off his brand-new iced-out Rolex — his first one ever — and threw it away, hoping to distract the robber. However, they were saved by some police — but Mase never got his watch back. He later learned that Big L put the assailant up to the robbery. Check out the story below and the full episode above.

Cam’ron Claims Jay-Z Loves Money More Than Hip-Hop Culture

by

Jay-Z decided to pay tribute to another G.O.A.T. last week. He performed “Public Service Announcement” during Tom Brady’s Patriot Hall of Fame induction ceremony, and was shown love by the ex-quarterback in return. Other high-profile celebrities were less than thrilled with Jay’s decision, however. Some criticized him for taking such a low level role in Brady’s ceremony. Others, like Cam’ron, went as far as to suggest that Jay-Z is indifferent to the hip-hop culture he helped popularize.

Cam’ron made this bold claim during a June 18 episode of his podcast, It Is What It Is. The Harlem rapper posited that Jay-Z does “not love” hip-hop the way that fans think he does. “I think he likes hip-hop a lot,” Cam explained. “I think he likes money more, and opportunities to take his brand to the next level.” He alluded to the Hip Hop 50 concerts that took place in 2023, and the fact that Jay-Z did not participate in the celebration. “As far as Hip Hop 50 is concerned, I don’t think he loves it,” the rapper added. “As much as somebody like Nas loves it.”

Cam’ron Appreciates Jay-Z’s Business Acumen

The conversation stemmed from an Antonio Brown tweet criticizing Jay’s decision. Brown, a former teammate of Tom Brady’s, was much more blunt. He voiced disappointment in the “Empire State of Mind” rapper for choosing an induction ceremony over a concert that would have been attended by adoring fans. “Jay didn’t perform at any Hip Hop 50 concerts last year,” AB wrote. “Where the fans would’ve known every word to his songs. But he makes time to get ignored by rich folks smh.” Cam’ron has a more level-headed approach to the situation, and pointed out that Jay-Z may have performed with a greater purpose in mind.

“Sometimes you do something for somebody so they can do something for you,” Cam’ron asserted. “A favor for a favor.” The Dipset leader also gave Jay the benefit of the doubt, reminding viewers what Jay has done for the commercial appeal of the genre. “Jay-Z’s saying, ‘Nah we need to take this somewhere else,’” Cam added. “Let’s start getting our culture at halftime at the Super Bowl. You have to think about business as well.” It is the music business, after all.

WATCH: Cam’ron Responds to Adidas and Anthony Edwards Commercial in New Freestyle

Cam'ron Responds to Adidas and Anthony Edwards Commercial in New Freestyle

The host of the sports show It Is What It Is, Cam’ron, recently addressed the Adidas and Anthony Edwards commercial in his latest freestyle, performed before the newest episode of his show.

In the Adidas commercial, Anthony Edwards and a friend reviewed receipts of criticisms from various personalities. One of these receipts featured Cam’ron stating, “To me, he’s an all-star, but he’s not a superstar yet.”

Cam’ron, wearing a Luka Doncic Dallas Mavericks jersey, freestyled over Black Rob’s “Whoa!” instrumental, directly referencing the commercial. During the latest episode of It Is What It Is, Cam’ron clarified his stance, expressing continued admiration for Edwards. He mentioned that he doesn’t recall making the “all-star” comment this year, suggesting it might have been from last season. He emphasized that the entire It Is What It Is crew has supported Edwards throughout the current NBA season.

He emphasized that the entire It Is What It Is crew has supported Edwards throughout the current NBA season.

Despite the commercial’s playful jab, Cam’ron reiterated his respect for Edwards, highlighting the positive relationship and mutual support. This latest interaction showcases the dynamic interplay between sports commentary and the athletes they discuss, blending critique with admiration.

Cam said, “I’m really an Anthony Edwards fan. He’s 22, and you’re supposed to have that attitude when you’re 22. My real grip, to be honest, was Adidas. He’s the talent. I deal with the bosses. Listen, when I had Sebastian Telfair on the show, and he was dissing y’all, y’all called me. Y’all asked, “Could we work something out to where y’all don’t talk about Adidas on the show?” I don’t have beef with y’all… I don’t have a problem with [them].”

You can see the freestyle below.

Cam’ron Trolled Anthony Edwards In A Freestyle After Being Shaded In His Adidas Commercial

by

Cam’ron and Mase’s It Is What It Is podcast has taken its fair share of shots at various athletes over the years, particularly NBA players like Jordan Poole and now, Anthony Edwards. Cam’ron targeted the latter with a few lines in a freestyle over the beat from Black Rob’s hit single “Whoa!” to open the latest episode.

Decked out in a Dallas Mavericks jersey (heh), Cam goes in on the 22-year-old NBA star, rapping, “Go ‘head and grandstand, no style can cramp Cam’s / P**** on a handstand, but f*ck wrong with Ant Man? / Gave him his props, homie got love from me / New commercial, y’all ain’t got love for me? / He shot a jump shot and said, ‘f*ck buddy’ / The receipt reader lookin’ like your f*ck buddy.”

So, what’s got Cam’s knickers in a twist? It seems Ant’s Adidas ad rubbed him the wrong way with its use of one of Cam’s tweets to make a point about Ant proving his haters wrong. The ad includes a printer for Edwards’ “receipts,” which spits out tweets from various celebrities questioning whether the young Minnesota Timberwolves guard is ready to be “the face of the league.”

The tweets are read to Ant by a friend as he takes practice shots, and when he hears that Cam’ron says he’s “an All-Star, but not a superstar yet,” Ant indeed gives a dismissive response and chucks another jumper. The ad’s being celebrated for its simplicity and directness, but clearly, not everybody appreciates Ant’s unfiltered demeanor.

Anyone who’s spent any time around hoopers knows that many of them — especially the best — are crazy petty and take anything less than unadulterated adulation as the saltiest criticism, so his response isn’t exactly surprising. But for the past 25 years, Cam’ron has been an equally petty performer in his own industry, so his response shouldn’t surprise anyone either.

But before anyone goes taking this super serious and demanding guns drawn at dawn, try to remember: it’s all in good fun. Talking sh*t is part of these guys’ livelihoods, so they both know there’s no ill intent. And if/when they see each other at the next All-Star Game, it’ll probably be all love.

You can watch Cam’s freestyle (and his explanation for the clap back) at the top of the episode above.

Cam’ron Fires Back At Anthony Edwards With A Savage Freestyle

by

Anthony Edwards and Adidas took a shot at the wrong podcaster. In reaction to Adidas including the rapper in a commercial directed at Edwards’ detractors, Cam’ron unleashed a scathing freestyle, criticizing the Minnesota Timberwolves guard for using the term “f–k buddy.” While the barbs directed at Edwards were not too harmful, Cam’ron’s rage was directed mostly against Adidas. Before delivering the finest line of the freestyle, Cam’ron blamed Adidas for the injuries to John Wall, Tracy McGrady, and Derrick Rose. He rapped. “You know Kevin Ware? Google what was on his toes.”

The guard for Louisville, Ware, had a horrific leg injury during the 2013 NCAA tournament. Adidas and Louisville have a sponsorship deal. Cam’ron also warned that Adidas might fire Edwards if he said something the brand “didn’t like.” He alluded to Kanye West, whose relationship with Adidas was terminated. Naturally, that’s not quite true. Adidas supported West through many scandals until deciding to fire him following a string of racist outbursts. Anthony Edwards may have bit off more than he can chew, dissing Cam’ron who was quick with a response.

Cam’Ron’s New Freestyle Addresses Anthony Edwards

Edwards has not yet replied, so it would be best to avoid this one. A basketball player can only become so involved in a rap feud, and Cam’ron has only put out one album in the previous fifteen years. He still has a lot of bars in storage, so he probably won’t think twice about continuing this feud—especially if it ends up increasing the number of people who listen to his podcast. Adidas and any other marketing outlet should take note of this: even in jest, don’t utilize rappers as the brunt of your joke. You never know when anything may go wrong.

Overall, Anthony Edwards and Cam’ron will probably be cool after all of this. Cam had no problem showing Ant love on the podcast, and the commercial obviously hit a sore spot since he likes Edwards as a player. It would be shocking if Anthony Edwards released his own freestyle in the coming days. If that unlikely event happens, we will be sure to cover it.

Anthony Edwards has released his latest Adidas advertisement in response to the critics following the Timberwolves’ elimination in the Western Conference Finals. The star shooting guard for the Minnesota Timberwolves is one of the NBA’s most promising emerging talents. The most admirable aspect of Edwards’ ascent to stardom is that he maintains his own identity throughout his ascension. His collaboration with Adidas has elevated him even higher in the public eye. We must not overlook the fact that the shoes are on fire.

After he lost in the Western Conference finals, AE and Adidas replied, releasing a new advertisement aimed at his critics, according to Complex. In the advertisement, Anthony Edwards is shown working as a machine prints receipts that include criticism from his detractors. When Cam’ron claims that Edwards “isn’t a superstar yet,” Edwards responds by calling, saying, “F*ck Buddy.” AE declares at the conclusion of the ad that this is “just the beginning,” and he won’t be leaving. All in all, It’s a slick clapback for Edwards. Additionally, now Cam’ron has also responded.

Cam’Ron responded on his Instagram, saying, “🔥🔥🔥 commercial!! Thx @adidas for the love. And I had antman back this whole time but I’ll address this Monday on the show.. love the attitude tho. Only thing I would say is get a better looking lesbian to read the receipts 🤷🏾‍♂️😂😂😂😂” Cam loves the energy and says that he will explain the situation on Mondays It Is What It Is podcast with Mase. Anthony Edwards’s commercial is about keeping receipts, and a slight diss can be read as a massive diss and used for fuel by an athlete like Edwards.

Though the Wolves were disappointed not to go to the NBA Finals, they should be proud of themselves for beating the reigning champion Denver Nuggets. This season has shown that the possibilities are endless for this youthful and driven Timberwolves squad. If everyone stays healthy, we could expect to see the Timberwolves make another epic run the following season. Anthony Edwards is a player worth building around and has proven that he is a superstar. Overall, we like to see him keeping the same energy even in a huge loss.
