Cam’ron has claimed that he’s immune to being canceled since he “started cancel culture” alongside Ma$e.
In a video posted to Instagram on Thursday (April 13), the Dipset rapper seemingly responded to the backlash he’s been receiving for calling Creed III stars Michael B. Jordan and Jonathan Majors’ sexuality into question.

In his fiery response, Killa Cam claimed that he and Murda Ma$e originated “cancel culture” in the 2000s when they left their successful music careers behind — the former to care for his sick mother and the latter to become an ordained minister.
“How the fuck you gon’ cancel n-ggas who canceled they self, n-gga? Fuck is you talking about?” an unphased Cam began. “My mom got sick in 2007 and I said fuck the whole music shit. I ain’t give a fuck. And Killa Season just went quadruple platinum and [I] left the whole music business.

“When you quit, Murda, how many you sold after you left?” Cam asked Ma$e. “Seven million? My n-gga sold seven million then quit. You can’t cancel n-ggas who canceled theyself and don’t give a fuck. We left when we wanted to leave. Fuck cancel culture — we started it with ourself, n-gga. Sound stupid!”
He added in the caption: “We [started] cancel culture.”
Cam’ron came under fire earlier this month for sharing images of a recent photoshoot featuring Michael B. Jordan and Jonathan Majors on Instagram, saying the intimate pictures are the reason why he has yet to see Creed III.
His post was met with unamused responses from the LGBTQ+ community and fellow rappers alike, with Skillz calling Cam out for his thinly-veiled homophobia.
“We are our own worst enemies smh,” the Virginia rapper wrote on Instagram. “I tell all my homies I love em…Why? Cuz I do! Sometimes it throws em off but Ion care, Ima keep saying that ish. Tomorrow aint promised. We all getting older man & death is definitley certain.
“Its already hard enough out here for black men as it is bro. You cant even show love or accept it without your own trying to make it out to be something else. I dont know Micheal B Jordan but I know losing Chadwick was hard on him….cuz shit it was hard on all of us.”

He continued: “We clowned that man before he died not even knowing how sick he really was. Maybe Jonathan came into Mikes life when he needed a friend…a bro. How come men cant have healthy relationships with other men without thier masculinity or sexuality being questioned?”
