Cam’ron has accused Vic Mensa of “clickbaiting” and “clout-chasing” in a social media post in which he addressed offensive remarks from the Dipset member about people in Africa.
The story begins with the July 15th episode of Cam’s show Talk With Flee. About three minutes in, Cam began discussing the “motherland.”
“I’m not African,” he said. “I fuck with Africans… I’m not African, bro. [Co-host] Sen [City] went to Africa and told me people stink.”
Those comments upset Vic enough to make a social media video criticizing them on July 24. In the video, he opens by saying, “I saw Cam’ron saying he’s not an African, and that Africa stinks.” He went on to show the video of Cam saying, “Sen went to Africa and told me people stink.”
In his video, Mensa also explained the possible ancestral origins of Cam’s last name, Giles, and how they likely trace back to Africa.
Cam clarified on the latest episode of Talk With Flee that he did not say people in Africa stink — he was simply characterizing what his co-host said. He was upset that Vic Mensa portrayed the comments as something he had directly.
“Yo homeboy, why is you clickbaiting, talking about, ‘I said the people in Africa stink,’ because I didn’t say that,” he said at the 3:12 mark of the video below. “I was repeating what somebody said. You clickbaiting and clout-chasing.”
Cam then took a dig at Vic’s Roc-a-Fella neck tattoo, saying, “I’m disappointed in you. But what do I expect in a n***a with a Roc-a-Fella tattoo on his neck?”
The Dipset rapper later admitted to trolling Vic.
“At the end of the day, I’m just trolling with the Roc-a-Fella tattoo,” he said. “I don’t know why he has one.”
Cam seemed so determined to clown Mensa for misconstruing who made the remark about people in Africa that the Talk With Flee host completely ignored what bothered Vic most, which was Cam denying he was African.
“Culturally, you resonate with America. Fine, that’s a nationality,” Mensa said in the above video. “You may have European or indigenous blood, but your ancestral origin is overwhelmingly African. Take a DNA test. You tell me what it says.”
