Cam'ron is not playing around.

Prior to officially starting his new show It Is What It Is, Cam'ron tried his hand at reporting. His very first report involved former NBA player Ben Gordon, who had just been arrested for allegedly stabbing people with sewing needles. Overall, it was a bizarre story and Cam wanted to get to the bottom of it. He even went to the Harlem hospital to interview people who may have known something. Although some felt he was doing too much, it was cool to see Cam trying out a new profession.

However, Ben Gordon did not take kindly to any of this. While on a podcast called The Jig Is Up, Gordon went in on Cam'ron. In the clip below, he claims to have more money than Cam. Moreover, he believes this is a potential slander case, and also thinks the rapper is corny for reporting on the situation. “Cameras is Cam’ron-ing,” he said. “To think a grown man drove from where he was to come mock — fuck outta here, man. That n***a silly. Yo look, libel slander is a real thing, man. My lawyers is lawyering. I know you like to say shit like that. Yeah, my computers is computing, that’s what your shits is doing? Fuck outta here, gang."

Cam'ron Vs. Ben Gordon

Subsequently, Cam'ron was made aware of these comments. That immediately led to a strong Instagram post from the Dipset artist. As you can see, he is not taking any of these comments lightly. However, he is still being humorous about it all. For instance, Cam claims to be scared, although the tone in his writing is more or less sarcastic. "Dear Ben Gordon, I like to apologize I didn’t understand my actions when I did that report on you. Im scared at this point because you are giving me male rapist/tommy shepherd/hobo vibes," he began. "...Im frightened and afraid. I got ya message loud and clear and I will have you institutionalized if necessary. Sorry Ben Ben."

This looks to be one of those feuds that very few people had on their radar. However, with Cam'ron, you never really know what might be around the corner. Let us know what you think of this beef, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest news and updates from around the sports world.
