Almost exactly a year ago today (Saturday, February 10), Cam'ron's mother Fredericka Giles passed away following a harrowing stroke. This loss really affected him for a long time, and it continues to be a heavy weight on his heart to this day. Sure, the rapper and sports commentator has found a lot of success and plenty of distractions in recent years, such as his It Is What It Is sports talk show with fellow MC Ma$e. Yet in an Instagram post on Friday (February 9), he reflected on the one-year anniversary of his mother's passing with a much more somber tone than what he usually takes to social media with.
"What do you do when your mom loses her voice and you can only communicate thru tx?" Cam'ron's post began. "What do when your mom says she’s hungry? But you can give her anything to eat cause it’s a mask on her face keeping her alive? What do you do when your mom ask how long she has to live and you lie to her to keep her spirits up? What do you do when your mom is in pain? And the medicine isn’t working anymore? What do you do when your mom tells you she can’t breathe? Etc..
