Cam’ron has blasted a pair of NBA players for criticizing the Atlanta Hawks for hosting Magic City Night, which will celebrate the famed gentlemen’s club, later in March.
San Antonio Spurs forward Luke Kornet wrote a blog post on Medium vehemently opposing Magic City Night, urging the Hawks to cancel the promotion.
While Golden State Warriors big man Al Horford cosigned Kornet’s sentiments, Cam took issue with them and absolutely excoriated Kornet and Horford in a rant on the Wednesday (March 4) episode of It Is What It Is.
“The protest started with that encyclopedia you wrote,” Cam said of Kornet’s blog post. “I ain’t listen to half that s—t. F—k you talking ’bout all them big-a— words. You know who gon’ be in Magic City Monday? T.I., expeditiously. F—k is you talking about, n—a? Big-a— essay you wrote, nobody give a f—k about that s—t.”
He continued: “This culture, n—a … You mad grown men want to see titties and a—. Not saying that’s gonna be there, but it’s just representing that night. I bet you one thing, I bet courtside be flooded — Boosie, 2 Chainz, Gucci Mane.”
The Harlem native then shifted his focus to Al Horford, who on X cosigned Kornet’s post. “Well said Luke,” Horford wrote.
“And Al Horford, you too, mind your business,” Cam directed. “It ain’t got nothing to do with you. Don’t jump on that n—a bandwagon. N—a, you Spanish. You got the most beautiful strippers. F—k is you talking about, n—a?”
He continued: “Degrading women? These women make a living, man. A lot of these women make good money off of this, man. There’s some women, some dancers right now that tell you, ‘F—k off! You trying to f—k up my income. This what I like to do.’ I remember, before social media, that was a way to pay for your college tuition. Girls were stripping to go to college.”
Cam’ron closed out his explosive rant by explaining that after he was done recording the show, he and his girlfriend were headed to the strip club for lunch.
“Baby, where we going when I finish filming? We going to eat wings and look at titties at 10 this morning. She wanna go to the strip club,” he said. “This where women asking to go. Fuck that n—a talking about? He’s out of his mind, man. Go back where you came from with that dumb s—t. Go shoot hoops and go home.”
Despite some backlash, the Hawks announced earlier this week that the team has no plans to cancel Magic City Night, which will take place on March 16 against the Orlando Magic.
Magic City Night will include a halftime performance from T.I., signature lemon pepper wings, an exclusive Magic City hoodie and a live podcast featuring Magic City founder Michael “Mr. Magic” Barney, T.I. and D.C. Young Fly in conversation.
