Cam’ron has shared his theory on what could be at the root of Kanye West’s recent rants while also taking the embroiled rapper and producer to task over his racially-offensive wardrobe choices.
The Dipset lyricist didn’t hold back while addressing Kanye West dissing his peers such as JAY-Z, Kendrick Lamar and more during a recent episode of his You’re Welcome Network podcast.
Per usual, Cam opted to utilize a longwinded approach to laying out his belief that Kanye has been as brazenly outspoken as he is now throughout his entire career.
“Kanye probably got the most wildest quotables,” Cam said early in the episode, pointing to Ye’s infamous post-Hurricane Katrina moment. “From the time he said, ‘I don’t think George Bush likes black people.’ It just was on CNN, so it ain’t look crazy. He’s been wildin’ for years.”
Cam added that the madness isn’t new—it’s just more visible now.
“I think it just looks worse because of the platforms that he on,” he said. “His outlets are getting smaller and smaller… people don’t want to give him the outlet for him to be on.”
As an examle, Cam brought up Kanye’s recent move to sit down with DJ Akademiks, suggesting it was more about desperation than choice.
“If Kanye could still be on these outlets or national television, he would never reach out to Akademics… he has to go where he can be seen, and it’s getting more quiet,” he said.
However, what really rubbed Cam the wrong way was Kanye’s behavior before and after the cameras rolled. Further describing his issue with Kanye’s Akademiks interview, he painted a picture of a calculated performance.
“But Akademics film driving up to the hotel, coming in the hotel room where Kanye doesn’t have on the KKK s###,” he said. “He’s talking normally… Then when the cameras are rolling, he turns into Ye. Then when the interview’s over, he goes back to, ‘Hey man, we got to catch a flight.’”
He added, “I was disgusted by him.”
But things took an even darker turn when Cam commented on Kanye going after JAY-Z’s children in a Twitter rant last month.
“What the f### are you talking about this man’s kids for? It makes no sense,” he said in part. “He rants about having the most money and everything else. But to me, as much money as he may or may not have, he doesn’t look like a happy person in life.”
Cam also questioned Kanye’s repeated claims about being number one, especially when taking shots at Kendrick Lamar. “Now you’re dissing Kendrick Lamar, saying ‘he ain’t number one, I’m number one.’ Yeah, you got to work.”
Cam’ron says Kanye West doesn’t look like a happy person, and admits Kanye’s recent antics of wearing a Black Ku Kl*x Klan outfit don’t surprise him.
