Cam’ron has thrown a grenade at Melyssa Ford, dubbing her an “expensive escort” after Joe Budden attempted to defend her.
Taking to his Instagram on Saturday (December 9), the Dipset rapper posted a clip of The Joe Budden Podcast, in which the rapper-turned-podcaster went to bat his former video vixen co-host.
“That’s Mel Ford at the end of the day,” Budden said. “You n-ggas be on Instagram liking the bad escorts. The cheap ones.”

That comment prompted Cam to repost the clip with the title: “Oh, she’s an expensive escort? How much, bro?”
His caption added: “Looking bad and sad!! This wasn’t a wise decision!! Move on y’all best bet.”
Check out the video below:
The back-and-forth started when Cam told a story about him and Murda taking a particularly wild trip to a brothel that involved a threesome back in the ’90s, and Ford took issue with his comments.
During a recent episode of The Joe Budden Podcast, where she’s a regular co-host, she said: “Is there a distinct possibility that there may have been underage girls in that whorehouse?”

Her suggestion was met with swift backlash from her co-hosts, including Budden, who said: “I don’t know what you’re doing, but it’s disgusting what you’re doing.”
Budden’s response was tame in comparison to Cam’ron’s, with the Dipset rapper firing back at Ford on his sports talk show It Is What It Is. Cam took offense at the suggestion and threatened to have Ford deported back to her native Canada.

“Tread lightly. Be careful ’cause I’ll tell you one thing: I know a lot of people at ICE,” he warned, referencing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. “I’ll have you escorted back up across the border.
“It screams desperation. We’ll get a petition to get you out the country. Cut it out.”
Ford subsequently issued Cam’ron an apology, but the Harlem native wasn’t having it.
Speaking on Instagram Live on Thursday (December 7), the Dipset rapper first denied the suggestion that he would have sex with underage girls.

“First of all, I only like older bitches. Second of all, it was 1992 — we were underage! I just turned muthafucking 16,” he clarified.
Cam then called Melyssa Ford’s apology “fake” and made his accusations about her, claiming she once had sex with Ice-T for money.

“You can’t just say shit like that and two days later be like, ‘Oh, my bad. I wasn’t thinking.’ You damn right you wasn’t thinking! Why say that in the beginning?” he vented. “You not even from here! You not even from this country!
“I could’ve went straight to: Ice-T fucked you in the bathroom for $2,000 when you was doing waitressing. I didn’t even go there! You used to fuck in the bathroom at the Kit Kat Club or one of them old-ass clubs. Stop, you a video vixen!”

He also said he’s thinking about taking legal action: “I was gonna leave it alone, but then she said sorry. But the sorry wasn’t even genuine — that shit was fake.
“I don’t even know who convinced her to do this shit, but whoever did, that was smart because now if I sue n-ggas for defamation of character, I’m a sucker, right? Well, I might be a sucker. I don’t know yet, I’m thinking about it — pause.”
In response, Budden called Cam’ron’s bluff on the latest episode of his podcast, which dropped on Friday (December 8).
“I think all you n-ggas is goofy,” Budden began. “I think every last one of you n-ggas is goofy, I ain’t gonna lie. […] I take the high road because I’m not engaging with none of you n-ggas out there. Let me make myself perfectly clear: I don’t do back and forth with none of you n-ggas out there. I don’t do responding. I like to come in here, and I like to dictate.”

He continued: “I stand with Mel on all fronts, whatever it is. As a co-worker, as a friend, I feel like it’s our jobs up here to check it, which we did, with love. […] I’m not with none of the performative shit. You think you got a lawsuit? Call your lawyer.”
