Unbeknownst to many, Cam’ron was actually supposed to be one of the first artists to be a part of The Notorious B.I.G.’s record label, Undeas, before Biggie’s untimely death.
Fast forward a few decades and a few record labels later, Cam’ron reflected on the first time he met the Hip-Hop legend/Icon and admits that he was actually starstruck by the OG King of New York. In the latest episode of It Is What It Is, Killa Cam reminisced about his first interaction with Biggie after his co-host Treasure “Stat Baby” Wilson spoke about LeBron admitting he felt like Michael Jordan was “Black Jesus” when he first met the NBA GOAT.
Though Cam wouldn’t go as far as to call Biggie any kind of iteration of “Jesus,” he did feel the man was a different kind of deity in the Hip-Hop game. “I’ma be totally honest with you, when Mase took me to Biggie Smalls’ house, I was like, ‘Yo. We did it,’” Cam’ron said. Back when Biggie was reigning supreme in the rap game, just seeing him out in the street would’ve been enough for any Hip-Hop head to feel blessed, but to meet him on a personal level would’ve been next level.
“You gotta realize, Mase already got songs with Biggie and they worked together,” Cam’ron continued. “But I really wasn’t going to the studio in the beginning because, you know, Mase had to get his feet in the door so I had to just stay home in the beginning a lot because it was his turn. And it wasn’t to bring the whole crew and bring everybody in the beginning. So I didn’t meet Biggie in the beginning.”
Though Cam didn’t get to meet the rap Gawd for a minute until Mase was finally a rap star in his own right, he finally got his moment and did what he was born to do, rap.
“When Mase sent me to Biggie Smalls’ house to rap for him, I acted like I’d been there a thousand times. No smiling, no handshakes, no ‘Yo, what’s up?’ Throw the beat on and I’ma rap — that was that.”
Likening that moment to LeBron meeting Jordan for the first time, Cam said, “Yeah, that was probably it for me.”
We feel you, Killa.

Even though Cam’ron says he has matured he is the last rapper you want to play with. Killa has refused Melyssa Ford’s apology and dissed her in one fell swoop.
XXL Magazine is reporting that the Diplomats member isn’t trying to hear what the legendary video model has to say. On a recent episode of It Is What It Is Cam’ron recalled a time when he and his cohost MA$E were patronizing a local brothel in New York City. While the story was intended to shine a light on a funny moment between them during their younger years, Melyssa felt the “Horse & Carriage” rappers might have been engaging with an underaged female. “Is there a distinct possibility that there may have been underage girls in that wh*re house?” she asked on The Joe Budden Podcast.
Naturally the commentary got back to Cam’ron and he quickly adjusted his petty crown. “Be careful. I tell you one thing, I know a lot of people in ICE. Snipers, sharpshooters and I know people in ICE” he said alluding to Ford’s Canadian roots. “:I’ll have you escorted back across the border. Be careful. It scream desperation, but we’ll get a petition to get you out the country. Cut it out. I’ll get her out the country. I’ll make two calls, man.”
Melyssa Ford would go on to apologize to Cam’ron and MA$E on the following episode of TJBP saying “I apologize, I should never have made that insinuation,” Melyssa said. But it seems Cam felt the damage had already been done and went at her again on an Instagram post that featured the two taking a picture on what seems to be at a formal event. “I told the b**** ‘don’t touch me’ when we took this pic. F*** you and ya apology!! Stay strong and Stand on business!!” he wrote.
Earlier today (December 7) Cam’ron continued clapping back at her and shared screenshots of Instagram removing the above post about her because it had been flagged for bullying. Melyssa Ford has yet to comment further on the situation.
Update: The saga continues.

Recently, former NBA player Joe Smith made headlines when he found out that his wife and former porn star Kisha Chavis had an OnlyFans account to bring in some side revenue much to his chagrin.
With her newfound popularity due to that video going viral, Kisha Chavis has been making publicity rounds and recently sat down with Cam’ron on the Check Out The Stat show where the Harlem rapper seemed to be shooting his shot at Mrs. Smith. During the interview, posted (Nov. 3), Chavis explained the fallout from the video going viral, including the fact that Joe Smith left the house the day after the argument, Cam’ron wasted no time in trying to woo the now somewhat separated from her hubby business woman into stepping into a world of a rapper’s delight.
After getting into what her current relationship status is with her husband (she’s not sure), Chavis informed them that she had a massage business named Body Rub Babes. Cam bluntly asked her, “If I wanted you to be one of my body-rub babes, like, would you be a body-rub babe for me?” Seemingly hesitant about answering the question, Chavis responded with a nonchalant, “Uh, yeah sure.” Continuing to keep his momentum going (LOL), Cam proceeded to compliment her physical degree by saying “I don’t mean to be unprofessional or anything like that, but I can’t stop looking at your cleavage. Yo, your cleavage is poppin,’ babe.”
Damnit, Cam’ron! She’s still a married woman.
How this ends is anyone’s guess, but best believe Joe Smith is somewhere ready to knuckle up, b.

Dwight Howard’s recent legal issues are a trending topic. MA$E had time to address the former NBA star and the allegations he is facing and it was pure comedy.
HipHopDX is reporting that the most recent episode of the viral sports commentary show It Is What It Is addressed Dwight Howard’s recent admission to courting another man. In 2021 the National Basketball League star was accused by Stephen Harper of sexual assault. The victim claims he met Howard online and the two then decided to meet in person. They finally did but it is alleged that Dwight invited a transgender individual named “Kitty” to Harper’s surprise.
Radar Online obtained the lawsuit documentation; it reads that Howard “grabbed Mr. Harper by the thighs, forcibly removed Mr. Harper’s underwear, held Mr. Harper down, and performed nonconsensual oral sex on Mr. Harper”. The filing also states “Mr. Harper was in fear of imminent bodily harm when he was pinned down and forced to remain in place while Defendant continued to sexually assault him.”
Around the 43-minute mark MA$E discusses the situation; the result is one of the most memorable comedic moments of the show’s history. “We got to stop telling people, ‘I don’t care what you do on your own time.’ Because we do care… And women, you got to stop. We got to stop telling n****s, ‘What you do in your own personal time has nothing to do with me.’ It does matter. Those are the lies that are going on in society,” he said.
The Harlem native went on to further explain his stance. “People will say, ‘It don’t matter.’ But as soon as they find out, it matters. So they outing them. When it comes down to making money off the story, it matters” he added. “When it comes down to who dating you it’s gonna matter. When it comes down to if you’re gonna be in the locker room with them, it matters. Because there’s about 30 teams who didn’t sign Dwight Howard because it matters.” As expected his co-hosts found the talk track hilarious resulting in Cam’ron and Stat Baby holding back their laughs. You can see MA$E discuss the situation below.

Coach Prime and his Colorado Buffaloes are the hottest ticket in College Football and bring out all the stars to see them play.
This past weekend in Boulder, Colorado, all eyes were on a College Football rivalry matchup that generally wouldn’t even register on any sports fan’s radars.
If you needed more proof that Coach Prime and his newly revamped Colorado Buffaloes are that team, you had to look no further than what went down at Folsom Field.
Before the game kicked off, ESPN’s College Gameday was on site for the matchup between Colorado and Colorado St. that already had enough fireworks leading into the night thanks to some comments from Colorado State’s head coach.
Along with the College Gameday crew, former WWE Superstar turned Hollywood actor The Rock was on hand to support his “brother” and get the crowd even more excited for the rivalry matchup.
Once the sun set, it was time to hit the field, and Coach Prime and his team were led out on the field by Lil Wayne, who also performed his song “Ride For My N****z.”
Before the game, Coach Prime blessed Weezy with his own Buffaloes jersey during the tailgate celebration.
Other Notable Guests In The Building
Weezy and The Rock were not the only big names in the building. Fresh off his marathon stream with Kai Cenat, Offset was on hand. Rapper-turned-sports commentator Cam’ron also returned to Colorado to enjoy the game.
Even Kawhi Leonard, who many were saying jokingly doesn’t attend Los Angeles Clippers games, had to see what the big deal about the Colorado Buffaloes football under Coach Prime’s leadership is all about.
The Colorado Buffaloes are currently 3-0 after defeating Colorado St. in overtime, led by Coach Prime’s son, Shedeur Stephens. A stark difference from their 1-8 record last year. The team is currently ranked 19th in the nation.
We expect to see more big names at Colorado Buffaloes home games for the rest of the season because they have become must-see television.

Cam’ron and MA$E are proving yet again there are levels to their hit show. O.J. Simpson is the latest guest on It Is What It Is.
As spotted on HipHopDX the popular sports series has extended an invite to the former football great. Joining virtually The Juice spoke to the the two rappers for almost 20 minutes about a variety of topics relating to the NFL. As expected he showed immediate support towards the running backs and made it clear the players in that position should be afforded different consideration given their impact and contribution.
“Eliminate the franchise tag for the running backs,” he said. “You can’t make them subject to the franchise tag. We have the Constitution, the greatest piece of legislation ever written, but we have amendments” he added. “They [the NFL] got to do something to rectify this inequity.” When asked about some of his favorite running backs playing currently he mentioned a select few including Saquon Barkley, Nick Chubb, Derrick Henry, Dalvin Cook and Christian McCaffrey.
He went on to put added respect on Saquon’s name saying “I often tell people… you put us in the same situation, the only guys I’d be competing with are Barry Sanders, Gale Sayers and maybe Eric Dickerson,” O.J. Simpson said. “I would certainly throw Barkley into that argument.”
You can watch Cam’ron, MA$E and O.J. Simpson chop it up; no pun intended below.

Harlem can breathe a sigh of relief this week. Cam’ron claims Ma$e has finally received his publishing back from Diddy.
As spotted on HipHopDX, the Diplomats founder made a big announcement Wednesday (Aug. 30) via his Instagram account. He congratulated the former Children Of The Corn member on the win in signature Killa fashion while promoting his new mixtape. “My n***a murder had to sit this one out. He just got his publishing back from Puff. Just finished the paper work for that yesterday,” he wrote. “Congrats @rsvpmase while he getting his music back in order, I’m dumping my hard drive pause. The lost files vol 1. Sept 8.”

If Cam’ron is speaking facts, this makes for a hallmark victory for Ma$e. For years the ex-Bad Boy Entertainment talent has voiced his displeasure and frustration that Sean Diddy Combs still owns his publishing. Back in 2020, Betha claimed he offered Diddy $2 million dollars to get it back but was declined. But during a sit down with The Breakfast Club, Diddy explained that Ma$e still owed him $3 million dollars.
“Just in general, the Ma$e thing. I did one album with Ma$e. One album. How much money do you think I owe this guy. And then he became a fake pastor and went and conned people,” he said. “And y’all going let him throw dirt on the God’s name? Anybody can come and step up. Bring your receipts. But I’m not playing. I’m back outside, and I’m fighting back for us. And I’m also doing some fighting back for me.”

Cam’ron and Mase are getting to the bag together like it’s 1997 again.
The two Harlem natives have reportedly signed an 8-figure deal with Underdog Fantasy for their hilarious sports talk show, It Is What It Is.
According to a press release shared with HipHopWired, the partnership will last at least 18 months. The highly popular sports talk show, is hosted by Cameron “Cam’ron” Giles, Mason (Ma$e) Betha, and Treasure “Stat Baby” Wilson. “Thank you Nick (Nicholas Green of Underdog Fantasy),” said Killa Cam in a statement, “We appreciate you seeing the true value of ‘It is What it Is.’”
The Brooklyn-based sports platform Underdog Fantasy has cosigned other major sports platforms like Gil’s Arena hosted by former NBA star Gilbert Arenas. It’s a fast-rising sports betting platform available in most states. One can start making bets at eighteen (except for MA and AZ where you have to be 21+, and AL & NE where you have to be 19+).
The two rappers came up early in their careers in Harlem and despite a public split that even spilled onto wax in 2017 (and before), the two childhood friends squashed their beef more than a year ago and came together to work on this sports podcast which was free on YouTube and funded by Cam’ron.
The former Roc-a-Fella rapper told Good Day New York in May that he was courting offers from interested investors.
“A lot of n-ggas hollerin’ at me to try and buy my show or make my show a part of what they’re doing. And listen, I appreciate the love, I appreciate the interest and everything else. This is fully funded by me. I didn’t go get no help. I ain’t got no partners. I ain’t got no bank,” he explained.
“They came and did all this shit and y’all gonna have to offer something I ain’t got. Now you don’t know what I got, but you could assume what I got. I’m not gon’ be unreasonable but you gotta be fair. But right now, with the time being, we gon’ have fun.”
Cam told Good Day New York that his sports debate talk show isn’t the only item that he had been getting offers on. He claimed that he regularly receives offers to buy his iconic pink fur coat—with one recent offer being $300,000.
“The people who offered it to me, I didn’t feel they deserved it,” Cam said. “It was more of a stat to them like, ‘I bought Cam’s jacket.’ It wasn’t really like they appreciated where that jacket came from.”
The jacket was recently immortalized in a New York City Transit MTA card in celebration of Hip-Hop’s 50th anniversary.

To see respect being shared between rappers is always good for the culture. Ghostface recently saw Cam’ron and the two reminisced on when Cam went to Shaolin looking for the Wallabee Champ.
As spotted on HipHopDX the Wu-Tang Clan MC was one of the many legends who graced the stage at the memorable Hip-Hop 50 performance at Yankee Stadium earlier this month. While backstage he was told Cam’ron was still in the building after his performance and made to stop by his area. What proceeded was a mutual exchange of flowers being given. A member of Ghostface’s entourage was quick to remind him that Cam’ron once went to Stapleton projects looking for him and two discussed the moment with smiles on their faces.
“I seen that sh*t!” Ghost proclaimed to which Cam’ron responded “a couple n****s was like, Cam don’t go in there, I said I’m going in,” the Purple Haze rapper recollected. “I wanted to see where Ghost lived at!” When Ghostface asked Killa what time did he make the infamous visit Cam replied “Three in the morning.” This is not the first time The Diplomats member has shown his admiration towards Ghost. Back in 2016 he conducted an interview with 88Rising and explained why he is in his top 5. “To me, it’s no filter with Ghostface, he’s not faking what he’s saying to me. Like, I believe everything he says” he said. “When he does an interview or when he talks, I believe what he’s saying.”
You can see their interaction at Yankee Stadium below.

Cam’ron might have the hottest sports take of summer. He revealed why Draymond Green and Jordan Poole got into a fight.
As spotted on HipHopDX the Harlem, New York native discussed Jordan Poole’s recent trade from the Golden State Warriors to the Washington Wizards on the It Is What It Is show. The conversation quickly transitioned to Poole and Green’s infamous fight during a practice back in October. The “Get ‘Em Girls” rapper then went on to give a play by play of what led to the drama. “They said the first day he told Draymond Green — you know, Michigan and Michigan State have beef; Draymond Green’s from Michigan State, he’s from Michigan” he explained. “That’s already a lifetime rivalry right there,” Ma$e added.
“He told Draymond, ‘I f***ed more b****es in Michigan State than you when you went there,’” Cam said. “Then they was running sprints or something and he told Draymond, ‘Don’t worry about it, you’ll be in Sacramento next year.’ Killa alleges that things got really bad when Poole took a very personal shot at Draymond saying “‘Why is your Twitter handle @MoneyGreen when you broke and you not gonna get a new contract?’ And that’s the one that broke the camel’s back.” Naturally this clip quickly went viral and even was mentioned on FOX Sports’ First Things First. “It seems from the reporting of Cam’ron and Ma$e, it seems like the Jordan Poole-Draymond stuff in practice got very heated pre-punch,” Nick Wright said which was followed by a hearty laugh from Chris Broussard.
Neither Jordan Poole or Draymond Green have yet to comment on the matter. You can see Cam’ron and MA$E discuss the situation below.
