My man!! "When white folks catch a cold!, black folks catch pneumonia!" Love it!
I guess you're kinda young. Malcom X coined that phrase.
My grandmother is a member of the Cherokee Nation......if you catch pneumonia: WE catch CANCER

What happens when White folk get covid
FACTS statement
“I don’t sit around watching what Diddy be doing, y’all wildin”😂😂😂
Cam handled that well 😂 I almost spit my coffee out lmbo
Steven A tripppin man 😂 I thought he would be agreeing with Cam
Just because you're doing your job doesn't mean you're not being used.
*Cam was a straight up G that interview*
I don't be sitting around worrying about what Diddy be doing 😂😂
Lol😂
"I didn't know this was a Diddy Joint" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I agree Stephen A. Cam should have never even done that interview. It looked like a CNN publicity stunt.
Excellent Stephen A. 👏👏👏! Excellent. Marvelous breakdown...>One of your best yet...>@emceeBrian

I love how Cam played CNN... He did the interview to promote his drink.
Period
Yep
facts
That’s not called playing it’s called being a business man 😂
Y’all need to take a course
@@MeBihhhhReally!🤦🏾 that’s the perfect example of being a bad business man. Yes Cam promote his drink to his fan base and may gained a few more customers but after that interview I can assure you that the cooperate world wants nothing to do with Cam and that drink. Companies like Pepsi and those major drink companies want no parts that foolishness. They will not be calling him for big deals or contracts after showing such arrogance and making a fool of himself. That interview was so bad I cringed watching it. Example, 50cent is the most Gangster rapper around yet noticed how he always wears suits and speaks more eloquent when on certain platforms. The name 50cents is a brand in itself so he knows how to represents himself. Stop thinking so small minded and look at the big picture.
Cam turned into Rico😂😂Boy wild af!😂💥🆙
More like child af
"That's why I'm rico that's why I do what I do"
Listen! This sent me! 🤣🤣🤣
💯😂
Damn, you're right!!!
When Stephen A compliments you, get ready 😂😂😂
The big setup 😂
Puffy ain't shit plus he did lot good shit yet the evil outweighs the good. Cameron was disrespectful to the sister like most of those rappers who get rewards for disrespecting black people on record most rappers are sell outs for money all the celebrities know this are just as bad
Yeap
What a sucka
@@anthonypryor9412Yep. Cam should know how to navigate on these networks. This aint a podcast
Cam'ron was 100% right in saying they need to ask Cassie and not him about Diddy's apology because Diddy didn't do anything to him.
Then turn down the interview. I promise you CNN doesn’t care about the point he tried to make whilst exhibiting trash behavior. Nothing changed or improved with the news channel by him doing that. If anything it will deter them from reaching for black voices.
So he can't have an opinion because it didn't happen to him?
@@shanelljones1091 So he can't mind his own business because it didn't happen to him?
@mathewmcfool Sure, he could, but he went on TV and he clearly knew what CNN was trying to do.
@shanelljones1091 he expressed his opinion when they first asked him about diddy. Seems like he thought he was there for other reasons and not to really talk about him. If that's the case, I'd get frustrated as well if I stated my opinion about somebody's actions and then you just keep asking me about them.
Stephen A. stood on business. He made a strong argument and gave us facts, history, and brought it all together. This was an absolutely great word! I truly enjoyed listening to this. Well done Sir...well done.
Really how Steven A get upset how another Man ( Cam) do his Business in a Capitalist Nation! And you with that to wow 👍🏿
No this was horrible because journalist ONLY REPORT CERTAIN STORIES when Stephen speak LOOSELY regarding friendships I don’t think he knows the meaning of a friendship
This beautiful journalist ask several questions regarding PDIDDY as a MAN who wants to sit & speak about another man’s business that’s INSANE
Clearly he didn’t come on CNN to have convos regarding diddy
Kelly Rowland had to check a journalist that continued to ask questions about Beyoncé
This has to stop or inform the guest prior to the interview what questions will be asked.
Unfortunately when a black person is involved the situation is ALWAYS HIGHLIGHTED
If Cam was a NBA player who behaved this way during an interview, Steven would have labeled him "ignorant."
@@jayrome3932 my point abuse is abuse whether it’s physical mental sexual or verbal
Calling someone ignorant is verbal abuse
Society ONLY illustrate abuse as physical or sexual but abuse is so many components.
@heavenheavven2572 On the point of abuse, you and I are aligned. My comment focused more on Cameron's conduct during the interview. He could have conveyed that he declined to answer specific questions.
Cam'Ron knew the topic of the interview, if he didn't want to discuss Diddy then he should have refused the invitation. Saying he is going to have sex after the interview to a woman was disrespectful. What are "we" doing? Where is the decorum?
He was plugging his libido product that's why it makes sense
He took time to endorse his drink
Bring up decorum to cam and see what he say to you
They knew the brand if they didn't do their research that's their fault.
how u gonna confidently say what someone knew or didnt know. especially with no proof. genuinely how do know what a man you never met knows
I think Cam'ron should have just declined the interview. Either way, gives them folks more reason to stereotype us. Those that don't know Cam'ron have the image he presented on TV this week.
The image of keeping it real and not playing into down talking another black man for the masses. He stood up for our culture instead of continually painting the black man as the bad image of a man for centuries were tired of it. Good move Cam.
Cam'ron was right to say what he said
What d hell are you talking about he did it for the culture. He made a complete fool out of himself. It was embarrassing to watch. Hows that for culture????? He should have just declined the invitation instead of going on there with his funny mouth and slurred words talking like he was high on something!!!! Stop taking up for blk folks when they do dum#$$ sh#$%^^. He made a fool of himself and worse for us( THE CULTURE)!!@@renaldohaywood6506
I think Cam'ron was blitzed. We know Cam never really f^ckd with Diddy like that; not as much as Mase, who CNN should've requested to appear for Diddy content.
@@GSnuggRyte he was blitz they probably told him we gone talk of ur business ventures new music ur podcast etc but they lied to him I feel I could see the confusion and upset of wait this not why I’m here he told them right I bet the next time anybody has him on their show their going to ask the appropriate questions related to him not someone he doesn’t and has done business with in past and present
Camron knew exactly the play and he knows exactly what to do
I said the same thing you said..He played CNN to promote his drink. By all means get your paper Cam
@@BlessLove-yx3mmit went right over the wanna be boule ninjas heads, he trolled & marketed his business.
@@YungJay216 💯 Who said Pimpin was easy 😂
Plus he promoted his drink ,his podcast😂😂😂and got the hell off
Dude was trolling everyone is overreacting 😂
I'm African American and I don't understand why people say that they are from the streets. The streets is nothing to glorify. I am and always was upset at how my own people take part in keeping each other down. This guy saying he from the streets and grew up in the streets like it's a reward for being from the streets...
There are still people in the “streets” trying to find their way. When they see someone that made it out and can still share where they came from it gives more inspiration than just glorifying.
Some people grow up 'in the streets' and everyone's experiences and perspectives aren't yours... No one is keeping anyone down with statements about being from the streets, especially not business man, rapper, millionaire Camron or millionaire Stephen A Smith... They're obviously proud of the lived experiences that they evolved from because these experiences have contributed to they have grown to become. You don't have to approve of it or understand it for it to be their truth or for others to understand it as positive rather than negative.
Cam’Ron got on CNN and acted a fool at his big age. He’s too and old and too talented to not be able to answer the question intelligently. Stephen A is on here ducking and dodging the point instead of calling him out is ridiculous. Smh…
I found his answers incredibly intelligent.
You asking a grown man questions about another grown man that he clearly not associated with what did you want him to say it's clearly a Diddy smear campaign
He wasn't acting a fool, he just was being TOO real on CNN. The interviewer should have stopped. And Cam still thanked CNN for having him 🤷♂
He wasn't acting a fool he wasn't at work he was using that platform against them to not contact him again about another man's downfall so he promoted his own products and going viral doing so I'd say that was a smart business move
YUP! Call it what is was, buffoonery.
“I wanna know what that drink is” got it lmaooooo
😭😭😭🔥🔥🔥
😂😂😂😂😂
Pink horse power
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Soon as he brought on screen all i heard was the theme song “ she wanna be freeeeee….”
I haven't seen Dana white lose 1 dollar or 1 friend after he beat his wife up
Dr Dre didn't lose 1 dollar or 1 friend after he beat his baby momma up either......
@@Rachael.Moreland. all my points exactly. All these rich men do this nd all the women that deal wittem r all 4 it. Soo let's stop acting like it's such a surprise.
Because we always tear down each other down and the others always slide right by
Dana White got slapped and slapped his wife back at a bar. Diddy kicked and beat the shit out of Cassie on camera, then lied and said he didn’t do it. Big difference, both wrong, but big difference.
Lol yea nothing new here. There's always an excuse 4 a white man huh lol. What happened 2 never put your hands on a woman. Noo matter what.
In this world too many people will compromise who they are for fame, fortune and money. Cam'ron was simply being Cam'ron, and the people who possess that compromising nature within them will never understand why he acted the way he acted. CNN should have done there homework and realize this was a man who is not gonna change who he is because he's in front of a camera, he is still gonna be his raw authentic self. For those who say why did he accept the interview, if you know Cam you know this, Cam knows how to get his chips and uses every opportunity to his advantage. The same way CNN was hoping to use this interview to their advantage, it just backfired. I bet you more people in the world knows who Cam'ron is now!
Not exactly. I don't who he is and I'm still not going to know.
@@leishawillisboone9207 My operative words here was "more people" not "everyone".
Tell it Stephen Smith. Speak This Truth To US ALL. It's very much needed. 🙏🙏🙏
Everybody defending what he did like he was forced to go on cnn
Exactly he knew exactly why he was there periodddddddffd
@502AP you don't know what he knew!
He used them and got free promotion, y'all in feelings not business
@@502API mean he does have a team of people who set stuff like that up for him and that’s clearly why he asked who set it up ….. but also why is he wrong for not wanting to be interviewed about another man? 🤔🤨🤨👀… why CNN not interviewing yung Miami or Mary j or lil Kim or 50 cents baby mama ?? 🤔 why interview a black man to try and paint a even bigger picture of black men as a whole then like always sent a black women to do it 🙃🙃😑😑. Go ask one of them black females that are actually in his lawsuits instead of trying to implicate multiple black men for no reason
How if Cam said himself that he didn’t know he was coming on there to talk about Diddy
Oh so people are mad at how Diddy is being treated, huh? I can't respect that on any level
Facts
The reason when he responded that was had nothing to do with Diddy but all to do with him. If he didn't want to speak about someone why is it a problem.
@@1107Blackman *EDIT: I'm mostly referring to Shabazz for all you bums rushing to defend Cam'ron like you're his side piece*
That's a childish excuse.
Interviews and discussions many times involve questions about other people especially questions involving your peers. How is this hard for you to grasp?
You are right but at the same time white people support their own people right or wrong. it's not that they're supporting diddy or worried about how he's being treated they still have to be concerned about how big media treats us even when we are wrong.
@@MartyMcFlyGuy There's so much wrong with what you're saying.
You act like race relations is like a high school football rivalry. Show me proof that all white people get together and have meetings like "Hey we all agree to support our white r@p1st and women beaters right?"
Secondly, lets pretend like this imaginary situation was true that all white people and all black people make decisions as a group. I am not supporting Diddy because I am a grown, free man and that's how I feel. We aren't brothers regardless of skin if I gotta support people like Diddy.
Support black owned business!
Pink horse power is all natural.
I’m a satisfied customer!
The pictures that u paint about situations is unparalleled its like you sit and like at every detail of the painting and make meaning of it...I'm an artist ....do you guys know how complicated that is?
Much respect SAS
Cam knew exactly why they wanted him on the show. All he had to do was turn down the interview
Right
@@LetsTravel2dayI do you know he knew? Stop capping
What not take the moment to promote your stuff and go viral
He knew they was trying to use him so he used them, Smart Man
CNN knew cam was on that.
#comeonson
In Trinidad we called what you just said right is right and wrong is wrong ‼️
What's sad is that it's not like that around the world. Some people like to blur the lines for the people thy know/like
😂😂😂😂😂
Jamaicans said that too
This is needed. Stephen A is spot on and brought much needed context to it.
I always enjoy listening to your podcasts man, thanks for the gems man.
We all know that CNN would never have a rapper on there if it wasn’t for the Diddy gossip, and why don’t we question the people who had the videos and info and waited until now to show it
Exactly!! We gotta pay attention! It’s been almost 10 years since that hotel incident happened, and now it’s all finally coming to the light..?..Stay woke y’all
We have to stop supporting ignorance
Exactly
@waltporter7707 how does that apply to his comment
THAT PART
They only wanted him on cnn for diddy not his brand
Well yeah. That's what a news channel is for. They invite people on to answer questions about news worthy topics, not to promote a brand. Why would CNN invite someone on to promote a libido drink?
@@DeepDeepSpaceyet they NEVER show all the Black Millionaire's that do community work that's ACTUALLY improving their community 🤔.
Yea let's highlight BS, and wonder why see stay in shh. The issue is the industry.
Golfer hit a cop and still played and won PGA
@@DeepDeepSpaceWell everybody not gone for that weak shit he played it how he was post to
Golfer didn't win that PGA event
Still wrong
You’re definitely keeping all the way 💯, Stephen. Sounding like a respectable man worth listening to
CNN news tried to used the Sistah against another Brethren and We call that "Stockholm Syndrome.... Some of Us are Too Smart for that 😂
Then go hug that lying, raping, woman beating 'brother' and tell him how much you love him and that what he did was okay with you and he doesn't need to be held accountable
Shabaz is 100 percent right !! Where was that energy towards Dana white , !!!
here we go with that black and white #$%^. Bro im Mexican, Dana F-d Up and DIddy is in another league. OJ got away with murder my dudes, let go of the race card and move on. i dont care about non of that BS, you sorry for even going there. We need to love all... and those that dont, we aint gonna never change em.
Lololol. You can’t be serious?? Those two incidents don’t even COMPARE!! 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
Thanks Dear! Reading Comprehension and Listening is 2most underrated Skill. Folks can't stick to the Point! Kicking a man when he is down insame comment. Should shut is mouth!😂❤❤❤❤❤@EricK-ir8np
No he's not....... dana white got hit first.........How tf he go say ''don't kick the man while he's down, WHEN MORE SHIT (HE DID) IS ABOUT TO COME OUT????
@@EricK-ir8npYes TF it does. It’s a damn shame you can’t see it for some misplaced guided principles.
I'm not sure what CNN was thinking - that Cam’ron was going to conform his behavior to CNN's standards. Cam’ron has always been authentically himself, without apology. Not sure why he would act any differently, when it has brought him fame, success, and fortune. Would I have asked him to appear on CNN based on his previous interviews? Probably not. So, I don't really blame Cam’ron for anything that transpired during the interview
I mean he knew they were going to ask and he handled it good at first. Then he kind of lost his cool
These rappers always conform their behaviors on Fox. They have a disdain for progressives, yet most blacks have gained access to capital from progressive policies.
Your right he acted like a real jiggaboo
Puff couldn't mention her name. Cassie had that put in the lawsuit.
But it probably wasn't sincere.
And yeah we don't care about Diddy.
He came to plug his product, and everything else was of no concern to him. I think he planned to do exactly what he did.
That interview was WILD!! I thought it was a parody.
That said, when you're self-made, you don't care about what anybody thinks. As you shouldn't.
She asked a 50 year old questions and he reacted and gave 13 year old answers
He played his hand perfectly
Terrible take worst comment on this post
@@thehollywoodpodcast lol scared to lose your black card huh 🤣🤣🤣
@@Slimsmooth you scared too lol
@@40water42they are definitely scared
Did Cam not know what he was there to discuss? You know they told him.....his plan was to deter from it and discuss him and Mase's business ventures.
Why interview him when there's a golden moment to interview Ma$e who was actually signed to him and had public feuds with him.
@@INREALLIFELIGHTbecause ma$e no doubt said no.
Can knew what the interview was for and advertised his drink. I don’t blame either side
Mase doesn't do interviews @@INREALLIFELIGHT
They can prep you for a interview and still do what they want...that means nothing
he asked why are you asking me about diddy?
In all of Camron's interviews he decides to channel his inner child and just be an arrogant disrespectful dude. He has been this way since the 90's.
Bet he wouldnt do that if it was his old friend Tru Life interviewing him 😂😂
Huh ?
And this man is almost 50
It’s not his job to talk about diddy weak shit he not post to get on there to dawg diddy
@@blackeddie154 go watch the interview Camero did on Complex sneaker shopping or even on Drink Champs and others
If Cam was a NBA player who behaved this way during an interview, Steven would have labeled him "ignorant."
Cam’ron is not an NBA Player 🙄
@joeblo5604 So we should have a lower standard for him? If so, then that's a bigger issue.🤔
Stephen A STOOD on business.
PERIODT.
NO LIES DETECTED💯
He accepted the interview and is mad that he had to do this interview? He looked and sounded crazy.
They wanna to ask him bs so he gave them bs
He accepted the interview but obviously the topic of discussion wasn't told to him. N he didn't seem mad at all. He was drinking his Pink Horsepower n chilling lol.
Embarrassing
@ascott4502 he also has an agent who books him for appearances as well
@@grinchoi1killa was thinking about what he was about to do afterwards he said it on camera 😂
Its crazy how much support Diddy has from some of the black community. You can tell whos been turning a blind eye to his antics
It’s not necessarily support. There’s a point to where it’s excessive. Riding people’s misfortunes and misdeeds for headlines is disgusting.
I agree with you, some people probably knew what might have been going on and turned a blind eye
But it’s just as bad for someone to try to revitalize their career by trashing someone else
Go watch the whole interview like Stephen A. says. Exactly when does Cam show support the Diddy?
Show us where this support is coming from? Y'all agents keep saying anything to get "likes" but never have anything to back up your narratives
THE "BLACK" COMMUNITY doesn't support or condone wtf Sean Combs has done, BUT WE DON'T NEED TO REACT to ish that is NOT OUR BUSINESS
It's even crazier that someone's running for president while being "prosecuted" but meanwhile everybody's talking about a domestic violence case! 🤷🏿♂️
CNN tried to get Cam to bad mouth Diddy....and it completely backfired 😂😂
Exactly!!
This is my new favorite channel on TH-cam… dude perspective is 2nd to none
“She’s not being used, she’s doing her job”. That’s the same thing. 😂
Same DAAAMMNNN THING 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
There’s a different from being used and knowing your being used and accepting the money and pushing the narrative.
Do your research , stay pinning bw against bm all the time countless situations, like they got bw to get the man out the house for welfare and benefits, Gayle king does it Oprah does it , countless others.
@@mayaedwards31it’s not her being used. Cam knew what the interview was going to be about and advertised his drink….
Only people that are being used are the fans. But good for cam, I never heard of this drink
Stop making excuses for cam he already knew what they wanted to talk about he could have handled her differently and still promoted his garbage but lil Boyz going to act like lil boyz most so called men will never mature I bet he wouldn't have did a white woman like 😂
Stephen A camron was gonna get some cheeks after this
Wayment . . . What now ???👀
@@TerriPassmore-qg3cyhe said on camera after taking a sip of pink horsepower he was about to get some cheeks 😂
It's her job as a journalist to do her research and get the right guest to interview.
🤫 Thanks for the thought-provoking truth and yes we must stand up
If we're being honest, Cam handled that terribly, with that said it was hilarious! LOL
Agreed, horrible interview but funny as hll
I disagree he handle it how he was supposed to you know what it is people are not used to seeing that type of behavior when someone else is uncomfortable
Way too many white people having an opinion and don't know what's really going on behind the curtain. It would do you good to keep your mouths closed sometimes
He behaved like a ghetto ignorant fool....@@andresingle7941
Terribly how?
I’m from Harlem too but I know how to be PROFESSIONAL! Not everybody from Harlem is like him. He has reached the amount of success where he feels like he can go on an international platform tell a black woman (who has really really worked hard for where she’s at whether I agree with it or not) he’s getting cheeks. Then act like he doesn’t know why he’s there. He owes Abby an apology. But he’s not going to give it because he’s a rEaL oNe. This is a classic example of climbing a ladder and pulling it up from under you because as much as he went on his podcast the next day crying about all of his accomplishments he didn’t mention how unprofessional he was to be on. if you’re standing on business then standing on business and don’t go on the show. You’re ruining opportunities for other black creators to get on the network and get exposure he can’t see the big picture through his rich people colored glasses
You got people like this sexy red on an international platform talking about her potty hole is brown but you fault Cam for promoting his product? Explain
nope. sorry bud. woman is a lame excuse for a woman. shes a sellout and cam sniffed her out before she got started. she must already be brainwashed if she cant see what they were using her to do. and you might be brainwashed if you cant see it. white supremacy always has an agenda when it comes to black ppl my friend. always. and if you dont know what that agenda is, guess whose part of it? they been running the same game for decades. its time to wake up and use all your senses. stop just watching the news, and start observing the news!!!!!!! you dont see the patterns? then you just like that woman and we gotta treat you the same way cam treated her until you wake up
Naw I disagree with this
Spot on!!!!
That’s your opinion. If you can’t discern between two different types of black ppl then I feel bad for yall. Not everyone feels the need to be accepted. Yall really can’t understand that. Rich or poor. It’s called character.
Thank you, Stephen A!
I appreciate Stephen Smith for the way he uses his platform to inform the public of the truth.
Y'all celebrating a 48 year old man acting like a damn child. I need to know what Stephen A is talking about. Cam always looks out for us as people
What has he done?
Cam believes in trickle down economics. He thinks if he gets rich, his example will make others rich. Ask any African American who endured the 80's under Reagan. Trickledown economics failed, homie. Ask Cam'ron where his products are produced...he don't own factories full of black workers, so how is he helping?
Stephen a is trying to emphasize the importance of not climbing the ladder and pulling it up from under you. Also he’s trying to emphasize professional in the workplace. What don’t you get?
Blacks always worried about how people act…..he went viral and sold out his brand…..stfu
@14:40
I remember that episode because I was there 😅
Cam isn’t a typical part of the 13% he’s created an opportunity for himself to be able to do something I wish we all could actually do CAM doesn’t have to code switch he’s always unapologetically himself. I think those that work in standard or corporate world may come to resent those that have created avenues for themselves to be this way. I believe Stephen A has always been authentically himself within the boundaries of the “Mouse” at Disney and we should appreciate that! Him and Stewart Scott showed us ourselves in a corporate light. But there’s something to be said for being able to show where we come from without the filter.
@@becauseweare1 correct and beautiful conversation! My point is black people aren’t a monolyth there are a spectrum of us and I disagree about the over saturation for years we’ve never been able to show ourselves unapologetically in any other arena except hip hop which vibrational could change us negatively over time behaviorally with the topics they choose to rap about. In this instance Killa is being himself in a positive arena. Abbey Phillips is doing her job but what hr she had the opportunity to do that show with her divine 9 delta sigma theta sisters maybe she turns the CODE off. I’d love for all African Americans to be able to display themselves as their unapologetic self but Cam is teaching a lesson! In order to do that you have to OWN it
SAS kissing up to the person before he starts bashing or disagreeing with them is so annoying because he goes abit extra with a a$$ kissing.
That's his buddies, why burn bridges prematurely? Don't pretend like you would just be brutal and critique your buddies like you don't give a F
He answered the question! She was dragging it
Trying to get him to speak on something/someone he could not care less about.
She was fishing for a toxic response
😒he knew the deal, just say no if you don't want to talk about that jackass
Man he gave way more compliments then needed before he gave his opinion. I notice he does that when it comes to certain people.
Yes, it's what he does.
Over complimentary calling Cam "brilliant" is a big stretch
Playing both sides
Thank you Stephen we’re from the same era growing up and I love how you’re a straight shooter in your interview.
My thoughts exactly concur your review. Our people has and still being attacked to go against the grain with each from corp down to corner and in between. This was really disappointing and we should always be on point and read the room for whatever comes our way. By any means necessary….😐
Love love the way you broke it down and made it plain. This is ALL ON COMBS…PERIODT
Cam knew what he was on CNN to do, if you didn't want to discuss the topic then he should have declined the interview.. I'm so tired of seeing and hearing ignorant sht from some black people.. put the civilized ones on TV to represent us, smh.
Preach!!! The ignorance is killing me.
Nah cam did right tho i rate him for that
And they wonder why so many of us distance ourselves from that portion of the culture.
🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯 there will always be an excuse for “da black man” and no care at all for the black women in the same streets as them. 🙄 The only people bringing “da black man” down ARE da black men.
I fully agree with you. He could have handled this a lot more professionally and just declined to answer. Its so weird that people defending his actions.....
Stephen. You're. The. Best .thank. GOD. For. REAL. MEN
I love Cam !! Good job !! Let them know you ain’t playing them games !
Love when the boule shout out and remembering the hood. Salute brother Stephen A never punching down appreciate for the culture
I agree with that brother that spoke out Cam's behalf.
Cam’ron should have NEVER agreed to go on CNN in the first place!!! If he already knew what they were about! Why even waste your time? !! It’s his own damn fault! 😹🤦🏽♀️
To promote that Horsepower drink & his podcast? Maybe he thought they'd ask a question or 2 about Diddy & then he'd get to plug his stuff 🤷🏾♂️
I also think they asked Ma$e first but he declined.
@@SteelCitysFinest417thank you bro lmao ppl acting like a guest promoting themselves is a crime against humanity. Theyre on the show bc of their name, why not just find a random person on the street if they wont let the person tel the audience what hes up to. Its like saying "we can use you for views, but your not allowed to use us" shit makes 0 sense
I agree totally
He ain't tripping
Cam'ron is about 49...50 years old?
Great perspective. Much respect.
Cam got on and did what Cam does. I 100% understand why. Love Cam. Stephen A. Addressed it eloquently though.
Cam'ron came off disrespectful drinking that bullshit talking strange..
Thank you. Many of the folks in these comment sections don't understand that and that's a real shame. Class is rare in this day and age.
Killa Cam is a Marketing Genius 🔥🔥🔥
Let that bullshit drink work in your back side
you don't know what was told to that man before the interview, why are you talking about disrespect? As far as you know they told him that he was there to promote his businesses and then tried to squeeze a Diddy segment out of him. Kindly stfu
good for him. She tried to set him up and get him involved in a situation he has limited knowledge of. When has Cam'ron been known to be intimately familiar with Diddy? Cam'ron trashes Diddy over a situation he has limited knowledgge on and now he has to potentially deal with Diddy's goons or legal team. Camron acknowledged the video and they kept asking him more.
Cam'ron knows why they invited him he should have never went on if he was going to be on that bullshit
So true.
They shouldn’t have tired to use him not all black gone fall in white ppl traps
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Y’all just mad cuz you didn’t get what you wanted out of the interview, get out your feelings. You can’t tell somebody what they knew or didn’t know, or what to expect. Who tf are you?!
@@CameronDThomas What you fail to realize is that Cam'ron fell right into a stereotype of a black man who is not articulate and has nothing but sex on his mind. Nothing with substance. He didn't have to do the interview. He could have backed out of it in a much classier way.
Great job Stephen A.!👏👏
Continue to be you brotha. You are a great example of success.
I would agree if she didn’t keep pressing the issue. It was clear he didn’t like the line on questioning and she was too persistent which gave the impression it was an agenda being pushed.
I swear y’all dudes think that someone ain’t supposed to do their jobs because your feelings didn’t like the questions. He ain’t like it? Oh tf well. She still has to do her journalistic thing.
I think Cams point was right. But he’s just super immature for his age.
A Smith will protect the 💼 under any circumstances , Cam had second thoughts … it called integrity and even though someone you knew screwed up , You shouldn’t kick them while they down
Lots of respect on this one SAS💪🏾
The whole notion of not criticizing a fellow black man for wrongdoing is precisely what's wrong with so-called "race consciousness." If another race cannot call them out lest they be deemed "racist," then who can?
This is BLACK MALE 101 and it's exhausting AF. That's why there is so much distance between BM and BW
I believe it's the fact that white people will be in the wrong and hardly ever go against one another. Example: Dana White. No one interviewed other people in combat sports. Black folks have it the worst but are quick to have a spot light on the mistakes. White people have it the easiest and people/media/society look the other way for the most part. It's disgusting.
They don't criticize theirs, why would we help criticize black people.
Yall criticizing diddy for how he treat women but will vote for trump knowing he said he grab women by the 🐱 and has been accused of SA by 12 women and lost a court case behind it
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯💯💯💯💯💯
I'm pretty sure CNN provided Cam with a list of questions they would be asking before he went on. So I don't understand his confusion
You don’t know what CNN did before the interview. You’re just making assumptions.
“I’m pretty sure “ is Hilarious…unless you work with CNN
They did..My lady has worked in many talent booking departments including CNN..they go over the questions before the interview is accepted by the guest..Cam knew what was going on he just chose to be Cam and promote his products…Plus Cam understand how how booking guest works due to him now having his own show..Guest don't want to be surprised so they ask for questions before hand..
Bruh its common sense I dnt even like CNN @@couptakeover
@@kala-adaidakariopusunju6809 Were you there when CNN setup the interview? No. But let’s assume that Cam did get the questions beforehand. Can a CNN anchor ask a question that was not on the original list and catch an interviewee off guard? Cam started to get really petty when she kept pressing him like he knew Puff like that.
It’s a fair assumption that he received the questions beforehand. HOWEVER, It’s still an ASSUMPTION, not a FACT.
Facts. I totally agree
I looked up cam’ron “oh boy” song with the Mary j sample. This came up it’s good to know he is still around.
I don’t care what nobody says, especially black folks. That was embarrassing and Abby Phillips didn’t deserve that kind of treatment
Shut up because I knew people was going to say Abby Phillips didn't deserve that it wasn't directed at Abby she just happened to be the one to be doing the interview it could have been a white person or anyone doing that interview and Cam would have did the same thing you people are so clueless and don't be knowing anything you be talking about stop it
Killa Cam is a Marketing Genius, everyone don't care about what Puff did in the dark!! That's his business, Word
@@jerrayematlock2333Exactly what point are you trying to make? I can’t understand your argument. Who are you advocating for?
Abby shouldn't talk about diddy to a man that's not involved in that situation
And Cam deserves to have his name attached to Diddy?
Wait we are going to stomp on CNN for kicking a black man while he's down yet 50 cent just sold Diddy documentary rights to Netflix? Wow we really are screwed up as a culture. Almost every damn black hosted TH-cam channel has been kicking Diddy since the video has come out.
We are our own worst enemy.... And other groups of people know that
Diddy needs to be kicked
@@DeeMaxum Totally agree. Now let me admit I initially I was upset for Abby Phillips that her producers would even book Cam and put her in that position. A much better choice would have been a real intellectual like Common or even Killer Mike. Even KRS-1 would have been a better choice.
@@kimaleycreese28 I'm not saying that he doesn't, I would love to do the kicking myself. My objection is with the hypocrisy of blaming CNN for "kicking him" yet 50 and just about every other black TH-cam channel has been doing it as well. Le's not blame CNN. Should Abby Phillips only report on white topics?
@@vedder10 exactly, it's double standards.
Good job Stephen Smith and keep it real
Well said Stephen A need more brothers like you..
Hell I want to know what that drink is😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It's PinkHoresPower... Designed for Men to give them that extra boost before baby making lol... All jokes aside tho. Back home in Jamaica we would use natural "Roots Tonic" or "Strongback." To do the job. Strength, stamina and vitality type tingz. If you know... You know, bless UP!
I disagree with black people struggles. I agree with Camron, he a real g.
How old are you, 12 ?
Always on point
Great perspective!
Abby Phillips makes millions a year. She is educated and has chosen to work for CNN as a highly talent journalist. She is not being used.
This! PERIOD! 🤦🏾♂️
I’m so sick of this fad in America where everyone is a victim.
@@joshuablackburn5770 hey yt guy behind the screen - we dont care what you say.
Y'all missed the point, it's optics. Out of all the cnn reporters they choose a black women, lol black people can't claim racism of it's a black person anchoring the questions. Democrats do it all the time wake up
How she not being used when her paycheck come from CNN ??? Make it make sense
Cam’ron isn’t in cooperate America he his own boss he independent they not a puppet
“Hell, I wanna know what that drink is” 😭😭😭😭
Brother you are 100% correct on your statement…..we cannot condone that behavior and we must speak out on it period !
Cam'ron had the right idea, but bad execution especially in comparison to his Bill O'Reilly interview.
💯
Dana White didn't get this heat ... He should get that work too
bingo🏁
I been saying “this joint” all day at work. Just throwing it in every sentence.
Everybody complaining about what Cam did like CNN was forced to have him on.
Get YOUR (OUR) own.
Then you can STAND UP ON YOUR FEET.
❤️🖤💚
Nothing better than a Steven a rant ! Black power ✊
🙄 Stop!
Simp power....
I usually don’t care about what Stephen A says but he is 100% on point .
I tbink my favorite part is how the news/headline ticker keeps changing. It's funny to me in the most strange way
