In the case of celebrities preventing in public, the boundaries are fairly low by way of how far some will go as a way to get that “gotcha” second. Within the very particular case of New York rap icon Cam’ron, the restrict merely doesn’t exist; there’s no telling how far Killa Cam is ever prepared to take issues.
Take for instance his current and really random beef with veteran actor Omar Gooding, finest recognized for supporting roles in beloved ’90s sitcom Sensible Man, the late John Singleton’s 2001 hood basic, Child Boy, and most just lately in a 2024 stage adaptation of New Jack Metropolis taking part in Detective Stone. We all know what you’re pondering: When? The place? Why? …How?!

Though Cam’ron did acknowledge the second that sparked their beef, stemming from a December 2024 episode of his It Is What It Is podcast, he didn’t precisely handle the true purpose why Omar is upset. Whereas some may be capable to see the trustworthy mistake in calling him Omar Gooding “Junior,” a transparent mixup together with his Oscar-winning brother, Cuba Gooding Jr., it was Cam’s declare that actors like Omar and a stray bullet in direction of Ving Rhames are ready round for rap moguls like his counterpart 50 Cent as a way to get their subsequent film function.
Within the eight months that’ve transpired since then, we’ve seen IG trolling from each ends, a stunning trifecta of diss tracks from Omar aimed toward Cam’ron (seen beneath) and the aforementioned Okay.O. chess transfer delivered by the Killa Season emcee.
As Omar preps his subsequent transfer, we strongly recommend he considers who his opponent is. In some ways the “King Kong of pettiness,” Cam’ron has many years of trolling beneath his belt that all the time sees the lots laughing proper together with him. We’re unsure if it’s his lyrical means with phrases, the Harlem-bred confidence he exudes or only a dedication to all the time get the final phrase in — you, Invoice O’Reilly! — however the man merely is aware of the way to deal with himself in a debate.
As we wait to see how his beef with Omar Gooding performs out, have a look beneath at 10 of probably the most petty moments from rapper Cam’ron. Beef properly, people:

5. Changing Mase with a physique double for the cameo-filled video to “Horse & Carriage”
Because the story goes, Mase needed $50,000 for his look after doing different stuff professional bono (i.e. the cinematic “357” music video).

It’s nonetheless jarring to at the moment see them podcasting collectively.
