How the Cam’ron CNN Interview Went Completely Off Script

When asked about his take, Cam’ron shot back, “I don’t know him like that… Who booked me for this joint?” He rejected any close ties to Diddy and slammed the abuse, but wasn’t interested in being part of the media’s reaction machine.

Things spiraled when Phillip played a clip from Cam’ron’s podcast, “It Is What It Is,” which he co-hosts with former Bad Boy rapper Ma$e. Instead of reacting seriously, Cam’ron cracked open his drink on air.
He then made the viral statement: “Sorry, I’m gonna get some cheeks after this Horse Power joint.” Phillip was visibly stunned, and the control room reportedly buzzed with confusion. The segment was cut short shortly after.
