Killa Clown! Cam'ron's 10 Most Petty Moments
Kaitlyn Morris When it comes to celebrities fighting in public, the limits are pretty low in terms of how far some will go in order to get that 'gotcha' moment. In the very special case of New York rap icon Cam'ron, the limit simply doesn't exist; there's no telling how far Killa Cam is ever willing to take things. Take for example his recent and very random beef with veteran actor Omar Gooding, best known for supporting roles in beloved '90s sitcom Smart Guy , the late John Singleton's 2001 hood classic, Baby Boy , and most recently in a 2024 stage adaptation of New Jack City playing Detective Stone. We know what you're thinking: When? Where? Why? …How?! We'll let the GRAMMY-nominated emcee break it down from his perspective. See below: Thankfully Omar doesn't seem to be taking things too seriously on his end, although we doubt his jovial follow-up response (seen below) will be the last we hear from him in this still-ongoing war of words. RELATED: LOL! LiAngelo Ball Claims He's Rapping Circles Around Cam'ron We care about your data. See our privacy policy. Although Cam'ron did acknowledge the moment that sparked their beef, stemming from a December 2024 episode of his It Is What It Is podcast, he didn't exactly address the real reason why Omar is upset. While some might be able to see the honest mistake in calling him Omar Gooding 'Junior,' a clear mixup with his Oscar-winning brother, Cuba Gooding Jr., it was Cam's claim that actors like Omar and a stray bullet towards Ving Rhames are waiting around for rap moguls like his counterpart 50 Cent in order to get their next movie role. In the eight months that've transpired since then, we've seen IG trolling from both ends, a surprising trifecta of diss tracks from Omar aimed at Cam'ron (seen below) and the aforementioned K.O. chess move delivered by the Killa Season emcee. As Omar preps his next move, we strongly suggest he considers who his opponent is. In many ways the 'King Kong of pettiness,' Cam'ron has decades of trolling under his belt that always sees the masses laughing right along with him. We're not sure if it's his lyrical way with words, the Harlem-bred confidence he exudes or just a determination to always get the last word in — looking at you, Bill O'Reilly! — but the man simply knows how to handle himself in a debate. As we wait to see how his beef with Omar Gooding plays out, take a look below at 10 of the most petty moments from rapper Cam'ron. Beef wisely, folks: Fox News got a reality check that night! After video-model-turned-podcaster Melyssa Ford made an unfounded claim that Cam might've had contact with underage girls in the past, let's just say he sent her a reminder to 'watch your mouth' when opening it to disparagingly mention his name. He even added Bey's vocals at the end from the duet in question, 'Do It Again,' off his 2000 sophomore album, S.D.E . We hope their current falling out will be resolved as brothers do, but this was extra levels of petty given the analytical breakdown. 5. Replacing Mase with a body double for the cameo-filled video to 'Horse & Carriage' As the story goes, Mase wanted $50,000 for his appearance after doing other stuff pro bono (i.e. the cinematic '357' music video). Cam wasn't feeling the price point given their close ties, and it led to the start of a decades-spanning beef that only came to an end a few years ago. It's still jarring to currently see them podcasting together. Poor Abby — she should've watched an old taping of The O'Reilly Factor first! While the infamous 'Stop Snitching' campaign did in fact hold weight in the hip-hop community during that time, his words admittedly helped create a distrust for authorities throughout the inner cities of America where hip-hop culture dominates all opinions. These two have since made up and even discussed this very moment over laughter in recent times. Still, real hip-hop heads will never forget 'CURTISSSSSS!' When all else fails, put your foot in it! …straight savage! SEE ALSO

NBA Trade Rumors: Damian Lillard linked to join Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler after exit from Milwaukee Bucks
Damian Lillard. Image via: revor Ruszkowski-Imagn Images Damian Lillard's departure from the Milwaukee Bucks has ignited a fresh wave of speculation, with major interest brewing around the Golden State Warriors. After the Bucks shocked the league by waiving the nine-time All-Star to free up cap space, Lillard now finds himself at a crossroads. Now he has full control over his next destination. His next move could define his remaining NBA career, but with that, it could also potentially reshape a title contender's landscape for the team where he eventually lands. Damian Lillard may join Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler in the Golden State Warriors The Milwaukee Bucks' decision to waive Damian Lillard and stretch the remaining $113 million on his contract caught many off guard. The team's early playoff exit, combined with Lillard's Achilles injury, marked an abrupt end to a short-lived partnership. With Myles Turner set to arrive in Milwaukee, the franchise opted for a painful but strategic reset, leaving Lillard free to chart his next course. According to Marc J. Spears, 'Another thing I'm hearing, of the many teams that reached out to Damian Lillard, the Warriors are one of those teams.' The possibility of Lillard teaming up with Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler in Golden State has sparked excitement. It would certainly form one of the most lethal scoring trios in the NBA. Spears added, 'This is a guy that grew up going to games at Oracle Arena, sneaking into the media room getting sodas. Grew up a Warriors fan.' However, history suggests the fit might not be as perfect as it sounds. In a 2023 episode of It Is What It Is, Lillard made his feelings on joining the Warriors quite clear. 'As far as like Golden State, I respect what they've been doing… That's home. But I can't be a part of that… Like what I look like going to try to do that and say oh I'm joining my home team. Like no… I lose every year before I go,' Lillard said candidly. While his competitive spirit and loyalty are admirable, circumstances have shifted. At 35 and coming off a torn Achilles, Lillard is entering a phase where opportunity and support matter more than ego. And Golden State, with Curry and Butler in place, might offer just that. According to Sam Amick of The Athletic, Lillard is 'elated' with the newfound freedom and has already received calls from contending teams.

Ye Disses Cam'ron For Saying He Put A 'Stain' On Chicago, And Cam Responds Exactly How You Think He Would
Cam'ron has responded to Ye taking aim at him due to the Harlem rhymer claiming the Chicago artist has put a 'stain' on his hometown with his antics. After Cam's initial remarks that both Ye and incarcerated R&B star R. Kelly put 'a stain on a good city' with their behavior, Ye replied with a since-deleted X/Twitter post, where he first claimed to 'love' his former label mate before saying he almost didn't release new song 'COUSINS' due to people like the Purple Haze rhymer potentially making fun of him. The song highlights West's claim of having an incestuous relationship with his male cousin as a kid. 'How Cam say I'm doing anything bad for Chicago. Chicago loves me,' West posted. 'I love Cam. It's n***as like you that had me shook to release the song but I ain't scared of y'all n***as. And thank you for making dip set. You're a God. 'And f**k you by the way,' he added. 'And I got on my 2 million dollar dipset belt as I tweet.' West also addressed Cam's comments during his Parti livestream with Sneako over the weekend, where he called Cam a 'pu**y a** ni**a' for his remarks, adding, 'don't tell me sh*t about Chicago.' Cam shared his reaction on Monday's episode of his It Is What It Is podcast. Instead of responding with equal energy, the Uptown spitter laughed off Ye's shots while saying he doesn't go back and forth with anyone 'once you admit you suck d*ck,' a reference to the aforementioned 'Cousins' track, where Ye claims he performed oral sex on his male cousin until the age of 14. 'I don't usually talk to ni**as who suck d*ck, once they suck d*ck, I don't go back. I don't wanna go back-and-forth once you admit you suck d*ck. That's just me,' Cam said though chuckles. See his reaction to Ye's slights below. In addition to Cam saying West is currently making his city look crazy, the rapper also previously called out the Bully artist for his 'disgusting' remarks regarding JAY-Z and Beyoncé's children. 'I was disgusted,' Cam said at the time. 'Why are you mentioning another man's kids? That's not only out of bounds, it's desperate.'
