*Hip-hop star Cam’ron took to his Instagram account recently to report on the Ben Gordon needle stabbing incident in Harlem.
The former NBA star was reportedly detained after attempting to stab random individuals with sewing needles. Harlem rapper Cam’ron unpacked the situation as part of an investigative report in his Cam’s It Is What It Is sports show. Check out his comments about Gordon’s latest mishap via the Instagram video below.
Gordon, who has been vocal about his mental health struggles, was arrested last month after he allegedly attacked two McDonald’s security guards in Chicago, TMZ reports. He was charged with two counts of misdemeanor battery.
The McDonald’s incident occurred after Gordon made headlines in October for allegedly punching his 10-year-old son in an airport for dropping a book.

According to New York Post, Gordon was waiting to take a flight to Chicago when he was allegedly spotted striking his son with a “closed fist” as the two were waiting for their flight. That’s when he was blocked by Port Authority cops from boarding the plane and was arrested over the alleged abuse.
Gordon’s ex-girlfriend Ashley Banks claims a “Karen” recognized him and took advantage of the situation by sparking his arrest, Fox News reports. Banks dated Gordon from 2016 to 2020 and said the white woman who targeted him has scarred the child for life.
“The problem is the child was traumatized,” Banks told the New York Post.
“The child saw his father being arrested, taken away,” she continued. “He was waiting in custody until his aunt picked him up. So that is the worst part of it, you know, and so we want to really protect him.”
“We were just disappointed because you keep seeing this pattern with Black people,” she said. “And it’s sad, but like a child is traumatized from it. How do you calm a 10-year-old? He’s probably going to be scared of the police. Because he’s little.”
According to the criminal complaint, Gordon punched and yelled at his son after the boy dropped a book on the floor.
Two Port Authority officers were reportedly injured while trying to cuff Gordon, who allegedly resisted arrest.
