Jemele Hill has questioned why Cam'ron agreed to go on CNN to discuss the allegations against Diddy during the viral interview with Abby Phillip from Monday night. Taking to Twitter the following morning, Hill theorized that the Dipset rapper did so as a publicity stunt. The segment went viral as Cam'ron became uncooperative as the questioning continued. He also promoted It Is What It Is and his Pink Horse Power supplement.
“So, something ain’t adding up," Hill began. "I’ve done CNN hundreds of times, including Abby’s show. Before every single appearance, a producer tells me or someone on my team what my segment is about and the types of questions that I’ll be asked. If you aren’t a regular, the producers typically insist on a pre-interview with either you, or someone on your team, who relays your talking points.”

She continued: “So either 1) a producer didn’t tell him or his team what kind of questions he would be asked or 2) a producer told him or someone on his team and he purposely decided to use this opportunity as a publicity stunt anyway … or someone in his camp didn’t tell him what he was being asked. And I’m betting that if someone in his camp didn’t tell him what he would be asked, they’re not going to admit that they messed up. Also, if a producer not being on their job led to this, today is going to be a tough day for that person.” Check out her full post below.
