Cam’ron‘s recent comments about the career paths of Black actors inspired a rapped response from one of the examples he mentioned, Omar Gooding — but Cam doesn’t seem troubled.
Back in December, Cam had 50 Cent as a guest on It Is What It Is, the Dipset rapper’s show with Ma$e. They discussed issues veteran actors can run into— having to wait to be cast, rather than financing their own projects.
“No disrespect to nobody I’m talking about,” Cam began. “But [if you’re] Ving Rhames, you’re sitting around, or Omar Gooding Jr., y’all n-ggas sitting around. I would have saved my money and shot my own shit by now. But a Black actor has to sit around for a 50 Cent or somebody in your lane to come pick them up to put them in something.”
Gooding apparently didn’t like being mentioned (nor having a “junior” added to his name, presumably in an inadvertent conflation with Cuba Gooding Jr.). He responded on Saturday (January 25) with the diss song “Fix Ya Mouth,” which he labeled his “official response to Camron’s controversial statements.”
“Not a fan of the word ‘Diss.’ I just respond when my name is brought up even if its pronounced ignorantly like by adding a Jr. and I live in my Hip Hop,” Gooding wrote on Instagram.
“I’ve got a WHOLE LOT to say.. time to speak up. This record is simply a teaser but its gotten yall attention so buckle up!”
Cam responded to a different Gooding IG post about the song with a comment filled with face-palm and crying-laughing emojis, saying, “Lo[l] my bad bro. I don’t want no smoke.”

In other Killa Cam news, it appears that he will be joining Eminem on the list of rap cameos set to appear in the forthcoming Adam Sandler film, Happy Gilmore 2.
In a recent post to his Instagram in front of the logo for his newest talk show Talk With Flee, Killa posed with his staff and wrote, “Put the whole team in da movie. #HappyGilmore2.”
In November, it was reported that Eminem had traveled to New Jersey to shoot some scenes for the film as well.
“Em is a big fan of the original movie, and he was a total pleasure to work with. He was just super low key, he didn’t have a big entourage, and was just an absolute delight on set,” an anonymous source told The U.S. Sun.
Cam’ron, Dipset… some other corniest rappers from the late 90s early 2000s. These guys are only known for wearing pink, dissing Jay-Z, dickriding Dame Dash and goofing on social media. I don’t recall none of these ninjas being in a top 30 list of some of the best rappers. They’re only being spoken of when they have beef with some people or with each other (like with Jim Jones right now). That’s the only way they found out to stay relevant. FOH
Preach! 💯
It’s a shame that you decided to (or your mother) name yourself after the very same rapper that thought Cam’ron was so nice, he wanted to put him on & sign him. Just because YOU only recognize them for that, doesn’t mean everyone else does. Just because YOU don’t have them in your top 30, don’t mean someone else don’t. & just because YOU are a cornball, doesn’t mean someone you dislike is.. Good day to you, Gooding in disguise
You’ll always find people who rate some of the corniest rapper in their top 10. The same reasoning you laid out in your comment can be applied in reverse: just because someone considers 6ix9ine the greatest rapper of all time doesn’t mean he actually is. The reality is that when rankings are made about rappers who have left a mark on hip-hop culture, those Dipset negrhoes are hardly ever, if ever, mentioned. That’s a fact. But nice try Cam’ron in disguise.
So Napoleon from The Outlawz dissing Cam now?
Shid, he definitely spit!
Who the fuck wants a Happy Gilmore 2?
Did people forget how lame dipset and cam was? His persona has always been feminine and immature
He can actually spit.
Me too! Hawk tuah
