Cam’ron Steps On Ant-Man After Timberwolves Player Curses Him In Adidas Promo Ad
Minnesota Timberwolves basketball player, Anthony Edwards, recently eliminated from the NBA Playoffs just released a promo for the athletic brand, Adidas. In the ad, the playmaker called out “It Is What It Is” host, Cam’ron. Yet, the Harlem rapper, known to confront distractors in his prior career as a rapper, responded to the dis with a freestyle in a recent show.
In the sneaker promo, released last month, a video shows a machine that issued receipts. In the voiceover, you hear Edwards say, in response to being questioned about the machine, “That’s for my receipts” before adding, “I hear all the hate.” The first receipt that comes out references former NBA player, Carmelo Anthony questioning if Edwards was ready to do the work to become “the face of the league.” The second receipt states that Cam’ron said, “To me, he’s an All-Star, but not a superstar, yet.” To which Edwards says, “F**k buddy,” while laughing at the statement. The person reading off the receipts then says, “It is what it ain’t,” seemingly referencing Cam’s podcast title.
Edwards goes through other statements before saying, “This only the beginning.”
This is only the beginning.

Cam’ron posts the video on his Instagram account and promises to address the slight that Edwards directs towards him.
“😂😂🔥🔥🔥 commercial!! Thx @adidas for the love. And I had antman back this whole time but I’ll address this Monday on the show.. love the attitude tho. Only thing I would say is get a better looking lesbian to read the receipts 🤷🏾♂️😂😂😂😂

As promised, Killa Cam struck back on June 4 when he dropped a freestyle at the beginning of the podcast. Using the background of late Bad Boy rapper, fellow Harlemnite, Black Rob’s “Whoa!” he addressed Edwards, affectionately called Ant-Man with a few bars. Before doing so, Cam did make mention of his CNN appearance with Abby Phillip. He appeared on the news program with the news anchor asking his opinion on the Diddy situation. He did apologize to Phillip though.
“Apologize, Abby, anything I may have said/ But the play was already read/Get a Black woman and a Black man to kill a Black man that’s already dead.”
He did save the venom for Ant-Man after stating that he was in the basketball player’s corner until he released that promo ad.
“But f**k wrong with Ant-Man?/Gave him his props, homie got love from me/New commercial, ya ain’t got love for me?/He shot a jump shot and said ‘F**k, buddy’”
“Kyrie Irving with this s**t, don’t get crossed up/Shooters, pardon that’s just my own thoughts/Luka, I’ll send you home on your home court” referencing the Wolves being eliminated from the playoffs on their home court in Minnesota.
The Harlem-bred businessman was recently the featured speaker at the BLACK ENTERPRISE Disrupter Summit in Atlanta.
