N.O.R.E. & Cam'Ron Make Peace After Joe Budden Feud
N.O.R.E. and Cam'ron have reconciled after the former appeared to criticize Cam'Ron for becoming a sports commentator.
N.O.R.E. and Cam'ron have reportedly ended their rift. Months after the Noreaga seemingly criticized Killa Cam for becoming a sports commentator alongside Ma$e on the show It Is What It Is, the Drink Champs host went to Instagram on Monday (May 1) to reveal that the two buried the hatchet on a phone call.
In February, Noreaga, legal name Victor Santiago, Jr., went on The Joe Budden Podcast, where he disapproved of rappers trying to pivot to commentating.
“You know what’s crazy? I’m looking at these rappers trying shows now — you know, rappers from our era — and they are so failing,” N.O.R.E. told Budden. “They doing sports shows, they doing comedy shows. They talkin’ about, ‘Yo, I’m up. I’m just doing this for fun.’ No you are not!”
Budden replied, “It’s great to see people fail … You can’t take the blueprint and hire different contractors. They sellin’ ass out here, huh?”
Cam'ron responded on Instagram, calling Budden “Hoe Buddons.” “Damn @therealnoreaga told you I couldn’t trust you. Lolol. Im just fucking wit ya,” the Diplomats member wrote. “But what other rapper from the 90’s got the sports and cooking show? U know u my nigga for life.
The three went back and forth on social media, with Budden calling Cam'Ron "sensitive." N.O.R.E. also responded on Twitter, telling Cam'Ron to call him instead. “If you thought at any time I was going at you, Why would you go to the internet 1st?” he tweeted.
\u201cMe and you are friends from the 90s. \nYou have my real life phone number. \nYou hung out with me for days before you did Drink Champs just to make sure I was the same yalla that you know. \n\nIf you thought at any time I was going at you, \nWhy would you go to the internet 1st?\u201d— N.O.R.E (@N.O.R.E) 1682884024
Now that the East Coast icons have mended their difference, with N.O.R.E. tweeting the update.
\u201cJust spoke to cam we good !!!\u201d— N.O.R.E (@N.O.R.E) 1682971563
Maybe we'll get a Drink Champs x It Is What It Is collaboration in the future.
