In the case of celebrities preventing in public, the boundaries are fairly low by way of how far some will go to be able to get that “gotcha” second. Within the very particular case of New York rap icon Cam’ron, the restrict merely doesn’t exist; there’s no telling how far Killa Cam is ever keen to take issues.
Take for instance his latest and really random beef with veteran actor Omar Gooding, greatest identified for supporting roles in beloved ’90s sitcom Sensible Man, the late John Singleton’s 2001 hood traditional, Child Boy, and most not too long ago in a 2024 stage adaptation of New Jack Metropolis enjoying Detective Stone. We all know what you’re pondering: When? The place? Why? …How?!
We’ll let the GRAMMY-nominated emcee break it down from his perspective. See under:
Fortunately Omar doesn’t appear to be taking issues too severely on his finish, though we doubt his jovial follow-up response (seen under) would be the final we hear from him on this still-ongoing confrontation.

Though Cam’ron did acknowledge the second that sparked their beef, stemming from a December 2024 episode of his It Is What It Is podcast, he didn’t precisely tackle the true purpose why Omar is upset. Whereas some may be capable to see the sincere mistake in calling him Omar Gooding “Junior,” a transparent mixup along with his Oscar-winning brother, Cuba Gooding Jr., it was Cam’s declare that actors like Omar and a stray bullet in the direction of Ving Rhames are ready round for rap moguls like his counterpart 50 Cent to be able to get their subsequent film position.
Within the eight months that’ve transpired since then, we’ve seen IG trolling from each ends, a stunning trifecta of diss tracks from Omar geared toward Cam’ron (seen under) and the aforementioned Ok.O. chess transfer delivered by the Killa Season emcee.
As Omar preps his subsequent transfer, we strongly counsel he considers who his opponent is. In some ways the “King Kong of pettiness,” Cam’ron has a long time of trolling beneath his belt that at all times sees the lots laughing proper together with him. We’re unsure if it’s his lyrical manner with phrases, the Harlem-bred confidence he exudes or only a willpower to at all times get the final phrase in — taking a look at you, Invoice O’Reilly! — however the man merely is aware of deal with himself in a debate.
As we wait to see how his beef with Omar Gooding performs out, have a look under at 10 of probably the most petty moments from rapper Cam’ron. Beef correctly, people:
1. This unforgettable alternate with Invoice O’Reilly again in 2003
Fox Information obtained a actuality examine that night time!
2. His (Alleged) “Melyssa Ford Pants”
After video-model-turned-podcaster Melyssa Ford made an unfounded declare that Cam may’ve had contact with underage ladies up to now, let’s simply say he despatched her a reminder to “watch your mouth” when opening it to disparagingly point out his title.
3. Referring to Beyoncé as “the Factor” through the top of his beef with Jay-Z on the Killa Season diss monitor, “You Gotta Love It”
He even added Bey’s vocals on the finish from the duet in query, “Do It Once more,” off his 2000 sophomore album, S.D.E.

We hope their present falling out might be resolved as brothers do, however this was additional ranges of petty given the analytical breakdown.
5. Changing Mase with a physique double for the cameo-filled video to “Horse & Carriage”
Because the story goes, Mase needed $50,000 for his look after doing different stuff professional bono (i.e. the cinematic “357” music video). Cam wasn’t feeling the value level given their shut ties, and it led to the beginning of a decades-spanning beef that solely got here to an finish just a few years in the past. It’s nonetheless jarring to presently see them podcasting collectively.

Poor Abby — she ought to’ve watched an previous taping of The O’Reilly Issue first!
