We are going to need Cam’ron to get on his zoom because his latest comments about Kendrick’s wife makes no sense to us.
On his show with Mase ‘It is What it is’ Cam’ron said:
This is no diss, Kendrick Lamar wife is half white, she is light skin, if you are accusing Drake of being half white, and you accusing Drake of being half white, and you using the black card.. your wife is half white, how you accusing the man about something you dealing with?
Watch:
The comments under this clip pretty much identified why this particular take on the beef is problematic.
I can’t believe y’all are missing that Kendrick is saying Drake is double dutching in and out of black culture when it benefits him.
He quite frankly missed the point. But I honestly wouldn’t expect him to understand the point.
And this is exactly why I say Kendrick’s lyrics are for SMART people. Cause DUMMIES say stuff like what cam’ron is saying. Smh
1.) His wife is not an artist that is 2.) leaning on her whiteness in the same way Drizzy is being accused of lol 3.) Kendrick is not attacking him for being biracial, he’s attacking him for being a culture vulture.
Mase and Cam’Ron do not like ‘Euphoria’
Mase and Cam’Ron have been vocal about which side of the beef they are on.
According to HipHop DX the Harlem-bred sports personalities shared their thoughts on the explosive track on their show Come & Talk 2 Me on Wednesday (May 1), with both men agreeing that the 6 God is winning the battle so far.
“Drake is definitely winning from an MC standpoint,” Ma$e said, praising the Toronto native’s own recent diss songs “Push Ups” and “Taylor Made Freestyle.”
“It took a while for us to get the record from Kendrick and when you wait a while it gotta be outta this world. I think if Kendrick dropped this record right after ‘[Push Ups] Drop and Give Me 50,’ it would have been crazy.”
Killa Cam added: “I think Drake is winning. ‘Euphoria’ didn’t really move me. I’m expecting lyrics from Kendrick, you’re expecting certain things. The song was kinda long, it took too long to come out — pause. I’m not saying it’s bad.”
Murda interjected: “It was a good record [but] we didn’t wait a while for a good record […] It’s like when you did ‘Curtis’ [Cam’ron’s 50 Cent diss song], it’s a certain thing you gotta have in the record that Kendrick doesn’t have in his record.
“You gotta say something that make n-ggas look at the n-gga different. And when he did the, ‘I don’t want to hear you say n-gga,’ that was an angle that we already heard before.”
Cam then analyzed the entire beef between Kendrick and Drake (and others in Hip Hop), claiming the stakes aren’t as high as when he was feuding with some of his rap peers in the ’90s and ’00s.
“I’m not saying this rap beef isn’t interesting and entertaining, but when we was rap disses — and not just me, I’m saying in general — people had the potential to die or get seriously hurt,” he said. “I just don’t feel that in these battles.
“I’m not promoting [violence]; I’m happy that nobody will get hurt, hopefully. But it just felt dangerous. This doesn’t feel like a dangerous atmosphere to me.”
Even though the men received a ton of flack for their opinions, we can get behind them because they are at least focused on the parties involved in the beef.
Kendrick Lamar’s wife does not rap so we aren’t sure why she is even a factor.

Who Is Whitney Alford
Accoridng to PEOPLE Kendrick and Whitney Alford are high school sweethearts who have been together since “day one”.
The pair have been an item since they were teenagers, and they now share two children — their daughter, Uzi, and their son, Enoch.
Since the release of Lamar’s fifth studio album, Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers, Alford has started to share more of her life with Lamar and their little ones on social media.
In February 2023, she posted a sweet video of her daughter watching Lamar accept an award at the Grammy Awards. The “Count Me Out” rapper mentioned “family” in his acceptance speech and Uzi said:
“Daddy! He’s talking about us! He’s talking about us. He’s talking about his family … Uzi and Enoch and mommy.”
Lamar and Alford met as students of Centennial High School in their hometown of Compton, California, in southern Los Angeles.
They were friends first before they became a couple, and have been together ever since.
“Everybody that’s been around me has been around since Day 1 and I can’t change that. I don’t change for nobody,” Lamar said in an interview on Power 105.1. “People that have been by your side — you’re supposed to honor that.”
The couple’s first public appearance was in 2014, when they made their red carpet debut at the Grammy Awards. The pair have kept many details of their romance private, but Lamar has been rapping about her since the beginning of his career, when he released the EP Kendrick Lamar in 2009, with songs like “She Needs Me” and “Determined.” On them, there are lyrics about a woman who completes him, who’s described as a powerful and encouraging force in his life.
“When I asked Lamar, out of all the influential people on his speed dial, who in his life has the power to call him out,” Lizzy Goodman wrote in a 2014 New York Times Magazine profile, “his answer was immediate: ‘One particular young lady,’ he said, referring to Alford. ‘She’s been here since Day 1.’ “
Lamar confirmed that he had proposed to his high school sweetheart during a 2015 interview on Power 105.1. That same year, Lamar released his third album, To Pimp a Butterfly. Ahead of the album’s release, he sat down for an interview with Billboard and mentioned Alford.
“I wouldn’t even call her my girl,” he said. “That’s my best friend. I don’t even like the term that society has put in the world as far as being a companion — she’s somebody I can tell my fears to.”
Later, in 2018, Alford posted a photo of herself on Instagram with her diamond engagement ring on full display.
Drake rapped about her in his diss track
Drake’s track “Push Ups” seemingly alleged that Alford cheated on Lamar.
Kendrick responded with his own threat to Drake’s family when he said: “Talk about me and my family, crodie? / Someone gon’ bleed in your family, crodie.”
