Cam'ron gets into a heated argument with LiAngelo Ball
By Daryl Nelson
Cam'ron has gotten into it with mostly rappers in the past, but now he's beefing with LiAngelo Ball.
The rapper and hoop player got into an aggressive back-and-forth after Cam brought up LiAngelo not being in the NBA like his brothers LaMelo and Lonzo. On his podcast, It Is What It Is, the Dipset rhymer pretended that he was Lamelo and Lonzo speaking to their sibling about not making it into the league.
"We tried, we did everything we could. We gotta tryout in China for you. That’s all we got," Cam joked, before saying LiAngelo doesn't have the skills to make an NBA roster. LiAngelo later hit back on his podcast, What an Experience.
"'Suck It Or Not' with Lil Wayne, that’s all I remember from you," said LiAngelo. "You don’t know my story like that. To say, 'Oh, he got a tryout in China,' you don’t know what I did in the G League, boy. I’m out here hooping."
Cam responded by saying LiAngelo wouldn't be famous if it wasn't for his father LaVar Ball being an expert marketer. He brought up LiAngelo being arrested in China for shoplifting as well.
In 2017, when LiAngelo played for the UCLA Bruins, he and two of his teammates tried to steal sunglasses from a Louis Vuitton store. The team was in China for an exhibition game against Georgia Tech at the time.
"[LaVar] had two sons that he was right about," said Cam. "Gelo, I ain’t got no problem with you. I just gotta call it like I see it. You’re lucky Trump was in China ’cause they might have cut your fingers off over stealing those sunglasses, n---a."
But the exchange wasn't done there, because LiAngelo mocked Cam's rap career again. "Since you wanna talk about all the rap s--t and I’m not good and I’m not this and I’m not that, I’ve never talked to someone and you’ve been in [their] top five, top 10, bro. I’ve never heard your name in no rap convo."
