Cam’ron has no doubts about Taylor Swift’s immense popularity, going so far as to say she now outshines Kanye West.
During an episode of It Is What It Is that aired on Tuesday (February 13), the show’s co-hosts discussed the now-disputed rumor that Ye was kicked out of the Super Bowl due to his proximity to Taylor Swift.
“Tried to diss that young lady years ago and she ain’t forget about it,” Cam said, referring to the infamous incident from the 2009 VMAs. “She don’t want to be seen with you, let alone the Super Bowl screen […] That man got up there, embarrassed Taylor Swift at them awards, tried to go Beyoncé crazy.
“Taylor Swift, since that moment, became a[n] astronomical superstar — awards on top of awards, record sales on top of record sales — and now, to me at this particular point, Taylor Swift is a bigger star than Kanye.”
He added: “There’s a reason the NFL is showing her 17 times a game, each and every week. That’s just my opinion. I believe with all this stuff going on with Kanye now, his celebrity kind of died down. Kanye just put a[n] album out last week, I didn’t even know.”
Listen to Cam share his thoughts on the 34-year-old titan at the 14:41 mark below:
Last year, the Dipset MC weighed in on Ye’s off-the-wall antics, suggesting that they’re calculated.
The sports media personality sat down for an interview with All The Smoke co-hosts Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson in December, where he was asked to share the first thoughts that came to mind when he heard the name “Kanye West.”
“Kanye, he play crazy with who he wanna play crazy with, you know what I’m saying? That n-gga’s crazy when it’s convenient,” he said, prompting laughs from the former NBA duo, with Jackson saying he “agrees wholeheartedly.”
Cam furthered his argument by saying that he himself has never encountered the side of the Yeezy mogul’s personality that often stirs up controversy.
“I seen Kanye about a year and a half, two years ago… the n-gga was sane as a muthafucka!” he added, before recalling that the Chicago native asked him if he wanted beats.
“Two days later, he going crazy on the news and all type of shit. Every time I seen Kanye he’s perfectly fine — I’ve never seen the crazy Kanye, personally. Ever.”
I just looked it up and all 5 of TS’ last albums sold over 1mil in the first week. I think it’s safe to say that even at his peak Kanye never reached Swift status.
Craig stfu, ain’t nobody playing T Swift
AINT NOBODY PLAYING T SWIFT AT COOKOUTS!
Makes sense. Swift is a household name pop star at this point, and is more family friendly than Ye ever was. Pop stars outsell rap stars, aside from Em because he transcended genres and mixed em together.
@ Jay, yup all due to his skin color.
Glad you didn’t know YE dropped an album.
The rest of the world did.
Number 1 in 100 countries-
Stick to sports- keep YE outcha mouth
Well yeah. I mean, lil baby eclipsed JayZ. Just how it is. Artists have a prime and then fizzle downward. Nobody stays on top forever, it’s just the reality of popularity and music making. Nobody has stayed in their prime in music. Jay went downhill, Ye, Britney spears, Em, Rockstars, even MJ while he was alive. Its just how it is. The only ones who didn’t are the ones who died in their prime, like Pac, Kurt Cobain, JimiHendrix, and so on. Just how it is. Maybe if Ye still had great music… but he doesn’t. Jesus is king had some fun songs, and so did the album before that. But overall, not stellar work.
Oh yeah, white woman with blue eyes! Any black man would be crazy to think that ain’t beautiful in comparison to the ratchet lookin Beyonce! #WhiteWomenWinning
Perhaps because Black men love beautiful Black woman. I don’t find Taylor attractive. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I aint gonna lie, I dont know one Taylor Swift song. I always thought she was like Brittany Spears, just a lot more average looking like she could be the girl at starbucks or delivering uber eats. At least I know 3-4 Kanye songs. I like him more for being a character than a rapper. And his new wife, now thats a fucking woman !
Taylor Swift is a basic Becky.
White women are so basic, corny and hideous.
It’s been a long time since you think Kanye & think music.
Let’s not forget 50 had Cam running away to Florida in his boxer briefs talking bout “I’m coming Curtis Be ready”
Nope, Cam went to Florida to attend to his mom being sick. You bozos need to lookup facts and not change the narrative.
