Cam’ron‘s mother has been gone for one year, and the Dipset MC has reflected solemnly on her passing.
The “Wet Wipes” rapper, known for his braggadocio, was in a much more somber mood when he took to Instagram on Friday (February 9) to post a series of photos and videos.

There, he revealed that his mother, who died exactly one year prior, had lost her ability to talk after she’d suffered a stroke, and was reduced to talking to him via text messages.
In the last slide, Cam’ron revealed his mother’s gravesite, and fought back tears as he explained that this was her final resting place.

“What do you do when your mom loses her voice and you can only communicate thru [text]? What do when your mom says she’s hungry but you can give her anything to eat cause it’s a mask on her face keeping her alive?” he wrote in the caption. “What do you do when your mom ask how long she has to live and you lie to her to keep her spirits up? What do you do when your mom is in pain and the medicine isn’t working anymore? What do you do when your mom tells you she can’t breathe? Etc.”
He continued: “I wanna thank My Son, Sam, @brespectfully @officialbritishthetitan @sugadugga_ent @darealdukedagod @sencity730 my uncles for sitting in the room with my mom till her last breath while I was In the hallways cause I couldn’t watch her die anymore. I really wanna be in bad timing with you bitch ass N-ggas (Friends/associates) that didn’t allow me to mourn after this happen. Love and miss u mom @virgie_og.”

Fredericka Giles, known as “Virgie” to Dipset fans, died on February 9, 2023, at the age of 67.
Nine days after her passing, Cam took to Instagram to reveal that his mother had recently been hospitalized and had succumbed to her unspecified illness.

He started the post by explaining that he didn’t “have the strength to put into words to express what my mom means to me,” and revealed that his mother had suffered a stroke in 2007 that left her physically impaired.
“In 2007 my mom had a stroke leaving her partially paralyzed on her left side and a speech impediment, but if you followed her or was her friend on social media you would never know any of that,” Cam’ron wrote. “She was witty, funny, intelligent, sarcastic and out spoken. People would say ‘cam I know you’re writing ya moms captions’ and I wasn’t. I would see my moms captions and say ‘where are you learning this?’ (Lingo) she’s [sic] tell me “be easy lil homie” lol. So I’m so sad to inform you guys of her passing.”
The Dipset founder added that he originally did not intend on sharing the news, but had a change of heart due to how much her social media family meant to Virgie.
“I wasn’t going to share this because I’m in a lot of pain and Didn’t think it was anyones business,” Cam’ron explained. “But thinking about it, I really wanted to thank you all for making my moms days and nights for the last decade or so. Social media was her go-to for, entertainment, news, general gossip etc. She would send me anything she thought I should know, about me or not, good or bad.”

He continued: “She also had friends on here she fight me about. If I had a show anywhere (Boston, cali, texas etc) and she’d say ‘yo my friend is gonna be at the show get him/her in!’ And I’d say ‘mom you don’t know these people’ she’d say ‘yes I do that’s my friend’ (me) ‘you never even met them’ (her) ‘ I SAID GET THEM IN!!!’ Lol and I would.”
