Cam’ron has paid tribute to one of his heroes OJ Simpson by dressing up as the late NFL legend.
The Dipset legend celebrated the Fourth of July by seemingly attending a fancy dress party in his current home of Las Vegas, where he wore a Buffalo Bills uniform complete with “Simpson #32” on the back.

Killa Cam even rocked a Bills helmet and carried a football as he donned the costume while walking through a Vegas casino alongide a few friends.
“OJ was here!!!! Happy INDEPENDENCE DAY!” he captioned a video of the moment on Instagram. “This ain’t really Our holiday.. But it Feels good not to have to answer to nobody!! #FreeNigga #IIWII”
OJ Simpson died aged 76 in April due to cancer. Prior to his passing, the controversial athlete and actor had found an unlikely career as a guest host of Cam’ron and Ma$e’s sports talk show It Is What It Is.
Following his death, the Harlem rappers, along with co-host Treasure “Stat Baby” Wilson, paid tribute to Simpson by sharing their memories of working with him.

“You could tell he was getting more comfortable week after week after week after week, and he was starting to loosen up,” Cam said.
“Besides that, on the show, I don’t care what nobody say, he was probably top three football analyst this past season. Because he didn’t only have personality, he really knew the game.
“It was no problem every Monday morning when we did the show, that we didn’t think he was going to do his homework, know his facts, know every game, and have the right analytics along with his opinion on it.”
The Purple Haze rapper then pivoted into his off-camera relationship with the Juice.

“I used to go fuck with OJ off the show, when there wasn’t no show,” he continued. “I’d go to the bar and meet him, we’d go to lunch. And people where we stay at loved O. They really, really loved OJ.
“I just want to say it was great working with OJ He’ll truly be missed. And I love him like a real, real uncle, man. So I’m really sorry this happened. But at the end of the day, I’m glad that we did get to spend the last few months with him, at least one day out the week for me, minimum.”
