Cameron Giles (born February 4, 1976), better known by his stage name Cam'ron, is a rapper, songwriter, and actor. He is also the founder of the hip-hop group The Diplomats, commonly known as Dipset.
On February 1, 2007, Cam'ron and 50 Cent had a live argument on The Angie Martinez Show on Hot 97 radio. 50 Cent commented that Koch Entertainment was a "graveyard", meaning major record labels would not work with their artists. Cam'ron then ridiculed the record sales of G-Unit members Lloyd Banks and Mobb Deep by stating that Jim Jones outsold their albums despite being signed to an independent label and that his group, The Diplomats, had a distribution deal from several labels. Both rappers released "diss" songs with accompanying videos on YouTube. 50 Cent suggested in "Funeral Music" that Cam'ron is no longer able to lead The Diplomats and that Jim Jones should take his place. Cam'ron responded with "Curtis" and "Curtis Pt. II", in which he makes fun of 50 Cent's appearance, calling him "a gorilla, with rabbit teeth". 50 Cent responded by releasing "Hold On" with Young Buck. On the May 17, 2007 edition of 106 & Park, 50 Cent appeared as a guest. When asked about his beef with Cam'ron, he stated "I haven't heard anything from Cam'ron since he got punched in the eye, I haven't heard one word!" Afterwards, he scoffed, "Has anyone seen Tru Life? We should ask him about Cam'ron." A day later Cam'ron fired back on video camera with the following statement: "It's 7:40, May 17th. I just got a 2 way talking about Curtis is talking about I don't come outside. We in my vacation home because it's gonna be a real fucking hot summer for everybody. Probation is officially over. Curtis you wanna get involved? Holla at me, I'm right here."
