Cam’ron has been synonymous with wearing Pink throughout his career, and he has a message for people who call him gay for wearing the color of clothing.
During a recent episode of his It Is What It Is talk show with co-host Ma$e and special guest Paul Pierce, the Dipset rapper brought up comments he’s received about his sexuality for wearing pink. In typical Cam’ron fashion, he responded by bringing his critics’ mothers into the equation.
“This all jokes aside, this word to everything I love,” he said in a clip shared to his Instagram account. “Being celebrities and being in the public eye, if you wasn’t nobody, nobody would give a Fuck. You know how long I had to hear, ‘Cam’s gay, he wears pink’?
“Bring your mother around, n-gga. See if she gives a fuck, n-gga. See if your mom gives a whole fuck, n-gga. I’ll tell her how gay I am. I’ll fuck her in the pink mink, n-gga. The fuck is you talking ’bout, n-gga?”
Back in 2020, actor Faizon Love suggested Cam’ron was gay by bombarding him with homophobic memes. The Harlem rapper fired back by digging up a 2018 Instagram spoof video of the comedian auditioning for gay roles in Empire and Brokeback Mountain 2.
“Now before I post this I have no problem with anybody in the LGBTQ community,” Cam wrote in his post. “I have people from this community in my family/friends/I work with and love ones. I respect all walks of life. With that being said. @faizonlove posted some memes of me being gay. Which I’m not.
“But this isn’t a meme fat boy. This really u.. #UgotSomeexplainingToDo this the roles u want? I dig it #IaintJudgingTho #UaintOnTrail somebody get him in brokeback mountain 2 please. I don’t think he faking.. and did someone creep behind u in this vid? Just skin.”
Earlier this year, Cam’ron revealed he turned down a $300,000 offer for his famous Pink Fur Coat.
“The people who offered it to me, I didn’t feel they deserved it,” he explained in an interview with Kevin Durant’s Boardroom platform. “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.
“If it makes sense to sell it to somebody who would appreciate it or put it where it’s gonna be seen and be stored that people know it’s my jacket, cool.
“You got rich suburban kids who be like, ‘Hey Cam, my girlfriend really loves your pink jacket. I don’t really know too much about it but I’ll buy it for her. How much do you want for it?’ That type shit.”
He added: “These are booster babies — their parents come from generational money to where they probably don’t know much about Hip Hop at all anyway, but they dealing with people who do.”
