Cam’ron’s live interview with a CNN anchor went awry after the interviewer asked the rap icon one too many questions about his past affiliations with Sean “Diddy” Combs.
Notorious for his filter-free tongue, Cam’ron was blatantly blunt — and vulgar — with CNN host Abby Phillip. He interrupted the exchange to tell her that he was taking a sex pill and that he was going to get “some cheeks,” a crude colloquialism that means having sex.
Cam’ron’s irritation was visible when Phillip asked about the now-infamous video showing the beleaguered Bad Boy boss beating and kicking ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in 2016. Cam’ron reluctantly answered the question.
Ughh #Camron was foul for treating @abbydphillip like this on #CNN. As a 48 year old Man you don’t know what you’re getting mic’d up to speak on?
To drink & say “I’m going to get some cheeks 🍑after this” to a Woman doing her job on National TV was ignorant & disgusting. #Diddy pic.twitter.com/qVC5LcsKHb

At a certain point, Cam’ron became disgusted with the line of questioning
“I don’t support any of that, trafficking minors, domestic violence —I’m totally against it,” he stated. He added that while he knows Combs, he is not “necessarily a friend.”
Phillip continued her line of questioning about Combs’ rumored history of criminality and debaucherous parties. Cam’ron exhaled before retorting that he was “upset” but couldn’t comment on the investigation.
“I can’t really tell you how Puff moves or anything like that,” he responded. He also directed Phillip to speak to his “It is What it Is” podcast co-host Mase, who was signed under Diddy’s label.
What Cam’ron uttered clearly stunned the CNN anchor
Cam’ron then drank a shot of PinkHorsePower on air. PinkHorsePower is a supplement drink owned by Cam’ron which is “designed to empower man’s sexual intimacy by helping to improve stamina and libido.”
“I’m gonna’ go get some cheeks after this HorsePower drink,” the rapper then stated, as Phillip looked temporarily bewildered.
Phillip then concluded the interview after Cam’ron asked someone off-camera who was responsible for booking the interview with CNN.
