Cam’ron and Ma$e have taken a bold stand against J. Prince’s warning after they criticized boxer Shakur Stevenson. Here’s how the drama unfolded and why these Harlem rappers refused to back down.
- J. Prince attempted to defend his fighter, Shakur Stevenson, warning Cam’ron and Ma$e to stop their criticism.
- On their sports talk show, Cam and Ma$e hit back at J. Prince, dismissing his threats and criticizing his approach.
- Ma$e questioned J. Prince’s leadership and criticized him for fighting Stevenson’s battles, while Cam’ron expressed disappointment in J. Prince’s behavior.
- The conflict started when Cam’ron and Ma$e called Stevenson’s fight ‘boring,’ sparking a social media battle.
This past weekend, the tension between Cam’ron, Ma$e, and Shakur Stevenson took a dramatic turn. J. Prince, founder of Rap-A-Lot Records, decided to step in to defend Stevenson, who he manages. Prince issued a stern warning, stating he would ‘fade all [Stevenson’s] shots and take all bets.’ However, this didn’t sit well with Cam and Ma$e, who responded vigorously.
On Monday’s episode of their sports talk show ‘It Is What It Is,’ the two Harlem rappers addressed Prince’s threats head-on. Ma$e kicked off the rebuttal, boldly stating, ‘You gon’ take all his fades and take all his shots? Alright, so then we talking to you then.’ He made it clear they wouldn’t be intimidated, dismissing the ‘big homie’ stance Prince tried to impose.
Ma$e continued his critique, pointing out that J. Prince, at his age, should not be engaging in street-level disputes. He emphasized that real leadership would involve advising Stevenson appropriately, not fighting his battles. ‘If you 60 years old and you tryna be a street n-gga, you failed,’ Ma$e asserted.
Interestingly, Ma$e also revealed that he had a recent, positive FaceTime chat with J. Prince and Kanye West, making Prince’s hostile reaction even more perplexing. ‘So I don’t even know why he would come at me with that energy,’ he said, expressing his confusion and disappointment.
Cam’ron echoed Ma$e’s sentiments, adding his own angle. He questioned why J. Prince chose to confront them over criticizing Stevenson while staying silent on other significant beefs, like Kendrick Lamar’s diss at Drake. Cam also revisited Prince’s past conflict with NBA YoungBoy, highlighting the inconsistency in Prince’s actions. ‘You 60, n-gga! What is you talking about?! Bro, I lost mad respect for you,’ Cam expressed.
Cam’ron also didn’t hold back on Stevenson’s recent social media rant, where the boxer mocked Cam and Ma$e and challenged them to ‘glove up or shut up.’ Cam dismissed the challenge bluntly, ‘You getting boxing and the streets confused, n-gga. Those are two different things.’
The spat initially ignited when Cam’ron and Ma$e labeled Stevenson’s world title defense against Artem Harutyunyan as ‘boring.’ This provoked Stevenson to go off on social media, leading to Cam’ron’s sharp rejoinder. He told Stevenson to step up in weight and face tougher opponents if he wanted respect, not engage in petty social media battles.
In the end, Cam’ron and Ma$e made it clear they won’t be backing down, setting the stage for ongoing tension with J. Prince and Shakur Stevenson.
