Cam’ron & Mase Respond to J. Prince’s Defense of Shakur Stevenson
In case you missed it, Cam’ron and Mase went viral once again for a sports take.
During an episode of their sports talk show It Is What It Is, the subject of boxer Shakur Stevenson’s latest fight came up and the rapper turned pastor to turned sports commentator called Stevenson’s style of boxing boring. Shakur didn’t take to kindly to the Harlem rapper’s opinion, and initiated a back and forth between the two camps on social media (which we covered here.)

Now it seems J. Prince has gotten in the mix.
Prince — who has been managing the Newark boxer since 2016 — sent the Harlem duo the message below on Instagram yesterday:
“Let the haters say that he’s boring and nobody wants to watch him. Sorry to tell you it’s just a select few of you haters. As you can see there’s proof that he has the number one ratings in any fight on ESPN this year and the top three ratings since 2022. And to all of you haters who want to escalate that hate outside of the ring I’m Shakur’s manager and I handle all his business outside of the ring. In other words Cam and Mase I will fade all his shots and take all bets.”
Naturally, Cam and Mase responded this morning on the latest episode of It Is What It Is.
“When you dealing with older people, they’re the last to know that things have changed,” Mase said. “We not your lil’ n—s. All that big homie stuff, that’s for little n—s. We’re not little n—s so we don’t even respect big homies. I know Killa doesn’t. And for me? I never respected n—s in the streets, that’s why I always got the problems I got.”
He then added, “If you 60 years old and you tryna be a street n—a, you failed. My name is Mase. I stand by this message.”
The former Bad Boy artist also revealed that he recently spoke to the Texas mogul via FaceTime call with Ye and the convo was a positive one. “So I don’t even know why he would come at me with that energy. I felt really disrespected. It’s certain people you supposed to come at like that and I’m not one of them.”
Cam agreed with his co-host and added his two cents, saying, “Why do you think that you can tell us what we can and cannot say. Control your n—a! Ain’t nobody gon’ tell a n—a, ‘Get the strap’ and then we gon’ sit there and be like, ‘I think we should shut up.’” Adding, “Nah, n—a. This is not 1982, bro. You buggin’, James. I don’t know what bet you talking about and all that other slang. Whatever bet you talking about, bet it.”
