Cam’Ron Says Master P Inspired The Making Of Dipset

by
Master P

Dipset! The Diplomats will forever go down in history as one of the greatest rap groups of all time. Coming into fruition in 1997 by childhood friends Cam’ron and Jim Jones, The Diplomats sparked a whole movement in Harlem, most notably known for their viral smash “Dipset Anthem.”

Most recently, Cam’Ron hopped on the All The Smoke podcast with co-hosts Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson. During the conversion, he reminisces on how Master P played a big role in the formation of Dipset, even though he wasn’t physically in the city of Harlem. 

Cam’Ron first explained how New Orleans soldiers would move and how it inspired his group.

“I used to observe these arguments, like n*ggas is really going crazy about n*ggas who’s in the same clique,” Cam stated. “So I kinda took all that format to try to make the Diplomat brand. N*ggas used to have No Limit fights on my block. N*ggas was in New York wearing camouflage. Master P had n*ggas going crazy. Mr. Serv-on, Mystikal, it got down with them n*ggas.”

He continued, “Shaq was in the video. They talking about P got $400 million. N*ggas is going around buying fake tank chains. All type of shit. Master P had that shit in a frenzy.”

Cam’Ron was referring to Master P’s No Limit Records imprint, which proved to be a movement in itself. Cam’Ron even commented: “If you looked, it wasn’t no internet. But it seemed like he had 17 artists come out every week! Like yo, who is these n*ggas man?”

Cam’ron Recalls Pre-Fame Halle Berry Flirting Attempt: “Hear Me Out!”

by

It’s no secret that Halle Berry is nearly everyone’s celebrity crush, but as Cam’ron recently revealed, approaching with no shirt and a promo tape isn’t a great way to win her over. During an episode of the All the Smoke podcast last week, the Harlem native recalled his attempt at flirting with the actress before he struck fame. While it doesn’t seem as though he was able to get her number, he was able to give her a sample of his music, which ultimately worked out for him in one way or another.

“I love Halle Berry right? So one day [when] I had [recently] gotten a record deal, I had just finished playing basketball in LA,” he explained. “I’m at the ATM and n***as is like, ‘Yo that’s Halle Berry next to you!’ I ain’t got no haircut, I got no shirt on,” Cam continued, “I’m like, ‘Yo, let me talk to you real quick!’ She’s like, ‘No, no, no, no, no, no. You have to relax.’ I’m like ‘Hear me out! Hear me out.’ So she walking to her car mad fast and I’m following her and I had a cassette tape.”

Cam’ron Reflects On Halle Berry Run-In

“My promo was cassette tapes at the time before CDs came out,” he went on. “So I’m like, ‘At least let me just give you my tape!’ So she rolled her window down [a tiny bit]. There was a n***a in the passenger seat laid back. I slid the sh*t through there and gave her my promotional tape. It wasn’t my album. It was one of them sh*ts where it got the snippet songs on there. So I gave her that sh*t.”

According to Cam, he later learned that the man in the car was none other than Larenz Tate, who told him he was a huge fan at the American Music Awards. “Larenz Tate was like, ‘Yo my n**a, I f*ck with you,’” he described. “You one of my favorite for years. You know that was me in the passenger seat with Halle when you slid that joint in there.’ I was like, ‘That was you my n***a?!’” What do you think of Cam’ron’s account of flirting with Halle Berry before he got famous?

Cam’Ron’s Iconic Pink Range Rover Sells For $16k

by

Fans of Cam’Ron’s classic tracks will surely recognize his famous custom all-pink Range Rover HSE. The car appears in some of the rapper’s most famous music videos like “Killa Cam” and “Get Em Girls.” Cam actually hasn’t been the owner of the car for quite a while. He originally sold it all the way back in 2004, just a year after he originally purchased the car. At the time he listed it on eBay with a starting price of $180k. While it isn’t surprising that the car isn’t worth what it used to be, fans are stunned by just how far the price has fallen.

The custom all-pink car was just sold on Facebook Marketplace for a mere $16k. Part of the price drop may have to do with it now having over 100,000 miles on it. In the comments of a post reporting the sale fans speculate on why the price is so low. “Prepare for many repairs,” one of the top comments suggests implying that whoever bought the car will have to sink a lot more money into it. Others are more optimistic on behalf of the buyer. “Not BAD! Someone got a nice truck for a good price” another top comment reads. Check out the full post and all the fans reacting to it below.

Cam’Ron Claims Kanye West’s Recent Behavior Is All A Performance

by

Many have been discussing Kanye West’s behavior for his entire career. He’s been a controversial public figure for almost two full decades now and every single fan and fellow rapper seems to have their own theories and explanations for his behavior. That was also the case for Cam’Ron, who recently sat down with the hosts of All The Smoke to discuss his take on the rapper, who he’s collaborated with multiple times in the past.

“Kanye, he play crazy with who he wanna play crazy with, you know what I’m saying? That n*gga’s crazy when it’s convenient,” he begins his argument. It’s certainly no secret that some of Kanye’s antics, particularly in recent years, have led many to question his mental state. “I seen Kanye about a year and a half, two years ago… the n*gga was sane as a m*thaf*cka! Two days later he going crazy on the news and all type of sh*t. Every time I seen Kanye he’s perfectly fine. I’ve never seen the crazy Kanye, personally. Ever,” Cam elaborated. Check out the video of his comments about Kanye below.

Cam’Ron’s Take On Kanye West Antics

A lot of fans and artists have been coming out with their Kanye West takes in recent weeks. That’s primarily because the rapper returned to LA after an extended stay in Europe. Alongside his return he announced a new collaborative album with Ty Dolla $ign. The project was originally planned to be released last week but it never emerged. The date was then changed to New Year’s Eve, before being pushed back once again into January.

Kanye also recently announced plans to build an entire new city in the middle east. The ambitions plans were revealed by a call for collaborators on the project, which West claims will be over 100,000 acres. What do you think of Cam’ron’s take on Kanye West appearing “crazy” in public and being completely normal in private? Let us know in the comment section below.

Cam’ron & Mase Beef: Former Takes Responsibility For Past Falling Out With “It Is What It Is” Co-Host

by

After seeing how well Cam’ron and Mase work together on It Is What It Is, viewers who are less educated in the subject of hip-hop history are beginning to question why the two stars were ever at odds in the first place. To help satisfy their curosity, the Dipset alum addressed the situation during a new interview on the All the Smoke podcast, which finally landed on YouTube this week. During his sitdown, Killa Cam recalls taking Jim Jones’ advice to bring a real gun to his Paid in Full audition, and takes responsibility for the role he played in his drama with Mase.

“Mase gave me an opportunity to get my first record deal,” the 47-year-old said. “He did a video for me – my first video ‘357,’ which was dope. And then I had another single with him, ‘Horse & Carriage,’ and he didn’t do that video so my label started gassing me like, ‘Yo why your man ain’t doing the video? He want $50,000 to do the video.’” At that time, Cam’ron was younger and more ego based, allowing himself to feed into the narratives about his friend, leading to them falling out but eventually becoming cool again.

He also told the podcasters that seeing Mase spending time strengthening his connection to God put a rift between them. “Then you know, he went to church. I kinda didn’t understand it at the time because that’s my man all day and I’m like, where church come from?” the multi-talent recalled pondering. “So I started bugging out on him because of that. To be honest with you, the whole s**t was my fault and just not understanding the kind of path he was on at the time. So I kinda was going at him on records and shit and he was ignoring me and shit, then one day he made ‘The Oracle’  and kinda flushed me one day. I was like, ‘That was pretty tough.’”

When Do New Episodes Of Cam’ron & Mase’s Podcast Come Out?

Cam'Ron Mase Is Is What It Is 2022
It Is What It Is

Recording artists are no longer limiting themselves to music. Several entertainers like Dua Lipa have jumped head first into different parts of media. For rappers Cam’ron and Mase, their love for sports inspired them to launch their breakout podcast, It Is What It Is.

Since its inception, the show has been a steady fix of viral content. But when do new episodes of Cam’ron and Mase’s podcast come out? According to the official YouTube channel that hosts each episode, as well as the podcast’s Instagram page, It Is What It Is streams at 8 a.m. on Monday through Friday and on Sundays.

Based on Vibe’s reports, the podcast hosted by the duo alongside Treasure Wilson, inked an eight-figure deal with sports betting company Underdog Fantasy. The show has also landed Cam’ron and Mase on Complex Sports’ Top 25 Most Entertaining Sports Media Personalities list.

During an interview with the outlet, Cam’ron spoke about his rise in sports media. “People just like to hear me talk ’cause they know it’s really no filter when I talk,” he said. “So, I’m offered all types of podcasts daily, from being a host to being a guest. I argue when I am on the phone with my n****s, and by the time I look at the phone, it says two hours and seven minutes. I’ll be like, yo, I’m getting the f*ck off the phone with you… So you got people who debate all day about sports. So when I said, “I want to do this sh*t,” I was like, yo, “a professional setting with real n**** dialogue or barbershop talk or beauty salon.”

Some artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Cam’ron Says “Pause” Too Much, He Admits In New Interview

by

Cam’ron is an incredibly charismatic entertainer, and one whose sports talk show It Is What It Is with Mase shows off these qualities even more. He’s funny, quick-witted, blunt, and most iconically when it comes to his everyday statements, is always looking for ways to think with a dirtier mind for comedic effect. Moreover, the rapper recently admitted during an interview with Complex published on Monday (December 11) that he says “pause” too much. If you don’t know what that’s referring to, some men say “pause” when they or another man imply something sexual with another man, and the “pause” is usually for comedic effect.

“Sometimes I try to take it out,” Cam’ron shared with the publication. “But as soon as I do, somebody’s in the comments like, ‘Yo, that’s cr*zy, Cam. How you ain’t say pause? That was wild, you ain’t gonna say pause?’ Then I gotta be petty and keep saying this s**t because now n***as coming at me like I said some wild s**t. So to answer your question, I don’t even want to say it that much, but s**t done got out of hand, man.

“S**t, the pause s**t has got out of hand, man,” Cam’ron continued. “I learned that s**t when I was like 12, 13 years old from East Harlem, Jefferson Projects, man. It’s one of them things to stand on your toes, like, ‘Oh, it’s a joke.’ You know, people don’t have to get that offended. We have no beef with LGBTQ. Like, what I say to that is you can create your own s**t.

“N***a be like, ‘Yo, I’m gonna get some p***y– like, no hetero,’” he concluded. “You could change the game however you want, my n***a. It’s not subscribed to one particular sexuality. It’s whatever. However you wanna play the game.” For more news and the latest updates on Cam’ron, stay up to date on HNHH.

Cam’ron Loses Lawsuit Over Using Picture Of Himself On Merch, Must Pay Five Figures

by

In the legal sense, Cam’ron has his sights on The Joe Budden Podcast for insinuating he had relations with underage girls. However, it seems like before he actually decides whether he wants to move forward, he has to deal with another issue in court. Moreover, the rapper faces a default judgement in a pretty curious and confusing lawsuit, which means that he’ll now have to pay up. For those unaware, this legal action came from photographer Djamilla Cochran in April of this year. She was the one who took the iconic 2003 picture of him in a pink fur coat, hat, and with a matching pink flip phone.

Earlier in 2023, she sued Cam’ron for using this picture on his clothing brand’s merch without getting the proper copyright and licensing. Allegedly, he and Dipset Couture ignored multiple infringement warnings, and never responded to the lawsuit outright. Now, Cochran seeks $57,000 as part of her awarded default judgement, plus $10,000 in legal fees. Not only that but she wants to audit Killa Cam’s brand for all the merch with this picture that he’s sold so she can access these profits.

Elsewhere, he is also quite busy with his It Is What It Is sports talk show with Mase, which has been nothing short of a massive success. Whether it’s their antics as cohosts, how the show’s affected their bonds with other athletes, or their often blunt analysis, there’s a lot to find entertainment in with this series. Hopefully Cam’ron and Mase continue to build out their platform and give us more great content along the way. Sometimes that will lead to people speaking on you– and to you wanting to sue them– but such is the media game.

Meanwhile, the Dipset MC is still dropping hot freestyles, one of which even got LeBron James’ stamp of staunch approval recently. It’s just another piece of proof that you can never count an MC out, no matter what their career morphs into. We’ll see if he has anything to say about this lawsuit’s end.

Cam’ron Claps Back At Melyssa Ford & Threatens To Sue For Defamation 

by

Cam'ron, Melyssa Ford

Cam’ron is not holding back after former video vixen Melyssa Ford accused him and his co-host Mase of engaging in sexual acts with underage girls. The legendary Harlem rapper has since threatened to sue for defamation.

Cam’ron Goes OFF

Cam’ron has responded to Melyssa Ford’s recent accusations, claiming that he and Mase engaged in sexual activities with underage girls. On Dec. 7, the former Dipset member went live on Instagram and addressed the allegations made by Ford:

“Thats some foul sh*t to say …and the times we in for you to make them type of allegations, [when you] don’t know what the f*ck you talking. You serious?” Cam’ron said. 

​​Cam’ron also stated that he was contemplating a defamation lawsuit and took a dig at Ford for offering what he called a “fake apology.”

“I don’t even know who convinced her to do this shit, but whoever did, that was smart because now if I sue n*ggas for defamation of character, I’m a sucker, right? Well, I might be a sucker. I don’t know yet, I’m thinking about it … pause.” 

Cam also joked about Ford not being from America, since she’s Canadian:

“You can’t just say shit like that and two days later be like, ‘Oh, my bad. I wasn’t thinking.’ You damn right you wasn’t thinking! Why say that in the beginning? You not even from here! You not even from this country!”

What Happened?

Users on Twitter (X) reacted to Cam’ron going after Ford on his live. 

One user named @R9Hov commented, “This is corny..all the guys from the  JBP scolded Melissa when she said that shit, “and one other user named @M4 was dead wrong for that comment. I deff understand why he’s going off like this.”

The conflict originated on Nov. 29, when Cam shared a story on his sports show, It Is What It Is, about him and his co-host Mase, having encounters with escorts in the 1990s. In response, during an episode of The Joe Budden Podcast, where Ford is a co-host, they reacted to the story and raised concerns that some of the escorts might have been underage girls.

“Is there a distinct possibility that there may have been underage girls in that whore house?” Ford asked. 

Joe Budden would respond to Ford by saying, “I don’t know what you’re doing, but it’s disgusting what you’re doing.” 

Neither Ford nor Budden has responded directly to Cam’ron’s comments, leaving the situation unresolved for the time being.

‘It Is What It Is’

In August 2023, Cam’ron and Mase found success outside of music with their sports talk show, It Is What It Is, securing an eight-figure deal with Underdog Fantasy. 

The duo covers a range of sports topics, conducts athlete interviews, and offers sports analysis, showcasing their talents beyond the rap industry. 

In September 2023, Mase allegedly reconciled with former label boss Diddy, resolving their two-decade-long feud. Cam’ron revealed that Mase finally received his publishing from Diddy. Notably, however, Diddy faced allegations of sexually assaulting an underage girl in 2003, adding a layer of complexity to the situation. 

Tasha K Sued For Defamation By Cardi B

This incident echoes another recent defamation case involving YouTuber Tasha K, and Cardi B. Tasha K faced a lawsuit from Cardi B for suggesting that the Bronx rapper had an STD and worked as a prostitute, with Cardi claiming emotional distress caused by these statements.

Why Is Cam’ron Dissing Melyssa Ford From The ‘Joe Budden Podcast?’

by
cam'ron podcast
YouTube

For the past few days, podcast hosts Cam’ron and Melyssa Ford have been going back and forth, generating quite a bit of buzz among the fans of both shows as the two millennial favorites unfurl their friction for all the world to see.

If you are up on everything that’s happened, here’s a quick refresher.

Who Is Melyssa Ford?

Ford, who currently appears as a co-host on The Joe Budden Podcast, started her career much like her co-host and her new rival — in the world of rap. However, where they rose to fame behind the mic, she did so in front of the camera as an in-demand video vixen, appearing in clips from the likes of Jay-Z, Ghostface Killah, Mystikal, Jadakiss, and Usher. In the mid-2010s, after making a run at a film and television career, she made the pivot to podcasting, appearing on the Hollywood Unlocked show until 2020 when she started her own show. She joined the Joe Budden Podcast earlier this year.

What Did Melyssa Ford Say About Cam’ron?

It was during a recent episode of Joe’s show that Ford started the feud. Responding to Cam’s on-air anecdote about a wild trip to a brothel in the ’90s, Ford wondered aloud, “Is there a distinct possibility that there may have been underage girls in that whore house?” While she was chastised by her co-host, when Cam learned of her comments, he went all the way off.

What Did Cam’ron Say About Melyssa Ford?

Back on Cam’ron’s show, It Is What It Is with fellow Harlem rapper Mase, the de facto Dipset top man addressed Ford’s remarks, saying, “Tread lightly. Be careful ’cause I’ll tell you one thing: I know a lot of people at ICE [U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement]. I’ll have you escorted back up across the border [Ford is originally from Canada]… It screams desperation. We’ll get a petition to get you out the country. Cut it out.”

Ford later apologized, but Cam wasn’t having it. During an Instagram Live stream, he denied her suggestion that and Mase had sex with underage girls, then called her apology “fake” and accused her of escorting herself.

“First of all, I only like older b*ches,” he said. “Second of all, it was 1992 — we were underage! I just turned 16!” Shutting down her apology, he fumed, “You can’t just say sh*t like that and two days later be like, ‘Oh, my bad. I wasn’t thinking.’ You damn right you wasn’t thinking! Why say that in the beginning?… I could’ve went straight to: Ice-T f*cked you in the bathroom for $2,000 when you was doing waitressing. I didn’t even go there! You used to f*ck in the bathroom at the Kit Kat Club or one of them old-ass clubs. Stop, you a video vixen!”

He also couldn’t help getting in a jab at his fellow rapper turned show host (who can’t seem to stop getting himself into these situations). “Shout out to Joe Buddens for hiring all these washed n****s,” he cracked. “You should open up a dry cleaning.”
