Rapper Cam'ron ripped CNN during a cringeworthy and haywire appearance on Abby Phillip's NewsNight.
The "Hey Ma" artist, whose real name is Cameron Giles, appeared visibly annoyed while on-air Monday night discussing the domestic violence allegations against Sean "Diddy" Combs, days after the network released chilling surveillance video of him attacking then-girlfriend Cassie at a Los Angeles hotel in 2016.
"Everything in the video was egregious, I'm against it," Giles, 48, began. "I don't support all the charges that's alleged against him. I don't support any of that trafficking minors. Domestic violence – I'm totally against it. So when I seen the video, yeah, I was kind of upset with it."
From there, the interview continued on a downward spiral, as Phillip asked Cam'ron if he "recognized" Combs' "anger" from his "experiences."
"What you mean do I recognize him? I recognize him. What you mean my experiences? I seen him and I thought it was disgusting," Cam'ron aggressively replied.
The interview went off the rails as the rapper chugged his brand's sex stimulant drink mid-conversation.
"I'm gonna get some cheeks after this Horse Power joint," he said, referring to sex, while knocking back the beverage.
Phillip, appearing unamused, posed a final question, asking Cam'ron if people in the industry were "protecting" Combs in permitting his violent behavior.
"Who the talent agent for this joint?" the rapper questioned. "You think I be sitting around watching what Diddy do and all this? I didn't know this was a Diddy joint that ya'll invited me to. Who booked me for this joint?"
Cam'ron first burst onto the rap scene in the 90s.
His single "Oh Boy" went on to become platinum-certified and earned him a Grammy nomination in 2002.
Combs apologized Sunday for the assault captured on camera.
"I was f---ed up. I hit rock bottom. But I make no excuses. My behavior on that video is inexcusable," he said.
It's "so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life, but sometimes you got to do that," he added.
While Los Angeles District Attorney George Gacon called the video calling "extremely disturbing," the attack occurred too long ago for any criminal charges to be filed. Gacon's office added that no one had come forward to file a complaint regarding the particular incident.
