During a recent episode of Cam’ron’s sports podcast (which he co-hosts with Mase), Is What It Is, the rapper discussed the controversy surrounding NYC Mayor Eric Adams. The controversial mayor was recently indicted on federal corruption charges earlier this week. In a shocking revelation, Cam’ron claims that the Mayor’s office contacted him about receiving an honorary key, but he declined.

“You know what’s crazy? This is word to everything I love,” Cam’ron began. “Last month, they called me to see if I wanted the key to the city. I said, ‘I don’t want to be involved with nothin.’ He continues: “They offered me that sh*t. They said, ‘Cam, you want the key?’ I said, ‘That ain’t really up my alley right now, I’m cool with the key to New York City, man.’”

Cam’ron Talks Old Actors & Diddy

In other news, Cam’ron recently shared his thoughts on aging actors and action films. In his opinion, the old-timers should ease up on the high-octane roles. He specifically noted Denzel Washington and The Equalizer franchise.  “I love Denzel Washington as an actor; I’m not watching him do karate at 71 years old and all that… he’s a great actor, but when n*ggas start doing karate in they 70s, I can’t believe the movie. I can’t fuck with Denzel being the Equalizer at 70.”

Cam’ron has never been one to mince words. In May, the rapper joined CNN for probably one of its most chaotic interviews ever. When asked by a reporter about his thoughts on the controversy surrounding Diddy, he made it clear while he didn’t agree with his actions, he didn’t feel that it was his place to speak on the subject. He seemed more confused to why he was even asked to interview in the first place. “Who’s the talent agent for this joint? You think I be sitting around watching what Diddy do? I didn’t know this was a Diddy joint that y’all invited me to. Who booked me for this joint?”
