Cam’ron responds to Anthony Edwards’ critique in a new Adidas commercial with a sharp freestyle.
After NBA player Anthony Edwards mocked him in a new Adidas ad, Cam’ron replied with a fiery freestyle. Edwards practised his movements while a receipt machine printed critics’ comments in his own basketball shoe commercial. Cam’ron stated, “To me, he’s an All-Star, but not a superstar, yet.” Edwards dismissively says, “Fuck buddy.” in the ad.
Cam didn’t take the remark lightly. Dipset MC launched his June 3 edition of It Is What It Is with a freestyle over Black Rob’s “Whoa!” instrumental. He targeted Edwards and Adidas with his bars.
“Even though I did a little freestyle this morning, man, I’m a fan, so I won’t even argue.” –Cam’ron.
“What’s wrong with Ant Man? Given him props, dude got my affection / New commercial: No love for me? He jumped and yelled ‘Fuck buddy’ / That receipt reader looked like your fuck buddy,” rapping before focusing on the ad’s company. Adidas, I’m blaming you, this is your fault / C’mon just stop it, man, ya’ll just stopping through / If he does something you don’t like, you’ll drop him, too / Fucking careers— T-Mac, Please notify Derrick Rose, RG3, and John Wall.”
Besides the freestyle, Cam’ron clarified his position on It Is What It Is. His angry statements were tempered by his admiration for the young NBA star. Even if I performed a little freestyle this morning, I’m not going to argue, guy, because I’m a fan. I love Anthony Edwards, who’s 22—you’re supposed to have that attitude at 22—and I dig it, he added. He ended with a dig at the Timberwolves’ playoff loss to the Mavericks. He tried that with Kyrie Irving—how did that go?
Cam’ron said Adidas was his true issue. He questioned the company’s goals and consistency. He said, “My real gripe, to be honest with you, was [with] Adidas.” I handle bosses. Adidas, want to do this? Do you want to do this?Because when Sebastian Telfair was on the show and dissing you, you phoned me and said, ‘Yo, could we work something out?’”
Cam’ron restated his freestyle comments concerning Adidas-sponsored players’ ailments after promising the corporation he had no difficulties. His extensive criticism focused on the negative effects of injuries on Tracy McGrady, Derrick Rose, Robert Griffin III, and John Wall.
Fan reaction is mixed. Some believe Cam’ron is overreacting to his criticism of corporate hypocrisy, while others support his right to speak out. Social media reactions have ranged from humor to serious concerns over sports endorsements and huge firms’ impact on sportsmen.
Cam’ron’s freestyle and comments show how artists, athletes, and sponsors regularly clash. In hip-hop and sports, where professional critique and personal offense are carefully examined, this incident highlights the fine line.
Cam’ron, Anthony Edwards, and Adidas demonstrate sponsorship and public image power dynamics. As both sectors continue to merge, their stars’ encounters will certainly make news, for better or worse.
Cam’ron’s reactions to Anthony Edwards’ Adidas commercial snub have raised questions about respect, brand loyalty, and public debate. Whether this leads to more exchanges or reconciliation is unknown, but hip-hop and sports fans are watching.
