Jan 2, 2025 Elliott Wilson has ruffled feathers after criticizing Cam’ron’s skills as a journalist. During an appearance on the New Rory & Mal podcast, the veteran Hip Hop journalist made his feelings clear on artists becoming media personalities, taking particular issue with Killa Cam who hosts the sports talk show It Is What It Is alongside Ma$e. Everybody is media. Cam’ron’s running around like he’s Stephen A. Smith. It’s what we’re dealing with,” Wilson said, bemoaning the trend of artists not granting interviews to established journalists, podcasts or publications and instead launching their own platforms. “Why is he a sports journalist? Because he has an opinion? He’s got Ma$e having a job because the bag is there! […] This is the s--- I do well and now everybody wants to do it. I don’t like it.” He added: “Celebrities have access to different things that I may not have and I feel like they underperform every time […] The access goes to them above me — that’s the problem I have.” Wilson also described content from non-journalists as “cringeworthy,” adding: “I watch their s---, it’s not good. It ain’t popping!” The Bigger Picture co-host additionally referenced Cam’ron’s recent interviews with 50 Cent and Stephen A. Smith, saying: “[People were like,] ‘Yo, Cam’ron really asked the questions.’ What are you talking about? No! […] It seems sexy like, ‘Yo, Cam’s a sports reporter now. Oooh!'” https://www.instagram.com/reel/DESq...d&ig_rid=9546af11-1369-4db6-9ce3-f8c1e102a12c https://www.instagram.com/reel/DETo...d&ig_rid=be7ce131-0088-4f5c-a1ec-da2f283000c9
