\n\tCam\u2019ron<\/a> can turn any interview into a viral moment \u2014 just ask Bill O\u2019Reilly.<\/a> The Dipset rapper appeared on CNN on Monday night (May 20), but claimed he didn\u2019t know he was being booked to talk about Sean \u201cDiddy<\/a>\u201d Combs and the assault allegations<\/a> made against him.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tDiddy Shares Apology Over Disturbing Cassie Ventura Hotel Video: \u2018I\u2019m Truly\u00a0Sorry\u2026\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

\n\tThe interview quickly went left when host Abby Phillip asked Cam about recognizing Diddy in the video of the \u201cI\u2019ll Be Missing You\u201d artist physically assaulting his then-girlfriend Cassie<\/a> in a Los Angeles hotel in 2016 that CNN obtained last week.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI don\u2019t know him like that. What do you mean did I recognize him? I seen him,\u201d Cam said. \u201cWhat do you mean my experiences? I seen him and I thought it was disgusting, I didn\u2019t do a zoom in to see if it was really him or nothing, but he admitted it was him so yeah, it was him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tPhillip\u2019s facial expression seemingly gave away she knew the interview was headed down a disastrous path, but she continued to attempt to get Cam\u2019ron\u2019s thoughts on Diddy\u2019s apology video, in which Combs called his actions \u201cinexcusable.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe apology ain\u2019t for me, it\u2019s for Cassie,\u201d Cam replied. \u201cHe ain\u2019t do nothing for me. What I think about it don\u2019t matter. You need to ask Cassie if she accepts the apology. I said what I said.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile CNN replayed a heartfelt clip<\/a> from It Is What It Is<\/em> about Cam\u2019ron asking Ma$e why he had him sign with The Notorious B.I.G. instead of Diddy, Cam took the chance to promote his Pink Horse Power<\/a> libido supplement. <\/p>\n

\n\tHe slugged back a cup of the intimacy juice. \u201cSorry, I\u2019m going to get some cheeks after this Horse Power joint,\u201d Cam said, admitting he was headed to see a woman after the interview. <\/p>\n

\n\tAfter one final attempt to pry information and give Cam a chance to speak on Diddy, the \u201cOh Boy\u201d rapper snapped and asked who booked him to appear on CNN before wrapping up the three-minute segment.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWho\u2019s the talent agent for this joint? You think I be sitting around watching what Diddy do? I didn\u2019t know this was a Diddy joint that y\u2019all invited me to,\u201d he fired back. \u201cWho booked me for this joint?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tCam\u2019ron addressed the viral interview on Tuesday\u2019s episode of It Is What It Is<\/a><\/em> and explained he wasn\u2019t appreciative of how CNN didn\u2019t ask him about any of the positive things he\u2019s doing in the community and insisted to harp on the allegations of abuse made against Diddy. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI just felt you tried to use me, pause,\u201d he said. \u201cI don\u2019t know why they ain\u2019t watch 60 Minutes<\/em>. They ain\u2019t watch Bill O\u2019Reilly? That\u2019s what I do on them joints\u2026 You call me on CNN for the bulls\u2013t, I\u2019ma give you the bulls\u2013t.\u201d<\/p>\n
