Cam'ron knows Ye (formally known as Kanye West) well.
The two harken back to their Roc-A-Fella days in the early 2000s, when West was a come-up producer trying to convince everyone that his raps were just as good as his beats, while Cam he was on a manic run. who not only put himself, but also his crew The Diplomats at the top of the game with rap's hottest record label, co-owned by his childhood friend Dame Dash.
While discussing quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets with co-hosts Mase and Treasure “Stat Baby” Wilson, Cam told an anecdote about meeting Ye in his Beverly Hills office.
“You know what's crazy? I'll give you an example,” Cam began. “That was probably three years ago. I went to see n—a Kanye or whatever. His office in Beverly Hills used to be a cave, it's just fire in there and f—,” he said as he couldn't hold back his laughter. “It's like four fires. It's like a 10-15,000 square feet — it's not an office, it's a warehouse, and it's just putting out a fire.”
He then mentions that Marilyn Manson was there with some other people and mentions a photo taken of him, Manson, Ye, actress Julia Fox and music producer Jack Donoghue before saying that he will try to ask Ye about the strange vibes he was getting. “Well, you know I know n—a,” he tells his co-hosts. “I'm like, 'What are you doing?'
He added that the Chicago rapper started acting differently when he noticed his old friend. “He sees me — you know how you can't play these games with a — you know,” he said before bursting into laughter. I'm lookin' at the n—a like, 'What the f— is going on in here, man?'
During an appearance at All the smoke podcast hosted by former NBA players Matt Barnes and Steven Jackson in December 2023, the Harlem rapper-turned-sports commentator said West plays “crazy when it's convenient” and that Ye was “really good” whenever he met his former partner.
