Cam’ron sparred with Elliott Wilson on a podcast, with the rapper stating that Wilson resembled a “sloppy sandwich.”
The beef between veteran journalist Elliott Wilson and Cam’ron came to a head as the two spoke face-to-face in a debate session on the Talk With Flee podcast. It was the first time the two directly spoke since Wilson’s comments on Cam’ron’s podcast with Mase, It Is What It Is. The first question zeroed in on Wilson’s words. The Rap Radar CEO confessed that he was wrong to disparage Cam’ron and noted how much time and money he had invested in the show. “I was caught in a vulnerable moment and expressed my passion, but that’s not how I ultimately feel,” he said. The “I Really Mean It” rapper, however, wasn’t going to let that ride without a comment.
“When I’m looking at Elliott now, I didn’t know your face look like pepper jack turkey, like the texture of your skin looks like pepper jack turkey,” Cam’ron said at the 5:30 mark of the interview. “It looks like you sweat duck sauce. You look like a sloppy sandwich in the face. Pause, man. My bad, I never really looked at you like that.” He continued, expressing confusion about Wilson’s stance but took no offense. “As far as what Elliott said, I’m not running around trying to be anybody but myself,” he replied. “As far as comparing me to Stephen A. Smith, I take that as a compliment because he’s kind of the standard.”
Wilson’s remarks about Cam’ron and others getting into media were made during his visit to The Rory & Mal Show earlier in the year. “Everybody is media. Cam’ron’s running around like he’s Stephen A. Smith. It’s what we’re dealing with,” Wilson said. “Why is he a sports journalist? Because he has an opinion? He’s got Mase having a job because the bag is there! […] This is the s**t I do well and now everybody wants to do it. I don’t like it.” Cam’ron and Mase swiftly responded in posts to their Instagram account.
The debate would lead to a thoughtful discussion between the two on journalism and today’s media. “If you have millions of followers, you don’t really have to wait to do an interview,” Cam’ron mused. Wilson agreed, saying: “This isn’t the big interview era anymore, it’s about content creation, it’s about adapting to what’s going on.”
