Cam’Ron has built up his popular sports show ‘It Is What It Is’ in a short period, mainly for his and co-host Mase’s takes on sports, along with candid and hilarious commentary about the sports world and music industry. Along with that, both hosts play the “pause” game, which he says he has been playing since he was young. However, during a recent interview with Complex, Cam admitted he’s been trying to tone down the game while on the show, saying it is “out of hand.” 

“Sometimes I try to take it out. But as soon as I do, somebody’s in the comments like, ‘Yo, that’s crazy, Cam. How you ain’t say pause? That was wild — you ain’t gonna say pause?’” said Cam.  

The sports show host continued, “Then I gotta be petty and keep saying this s*** because now n****s coming at me like I said some wild s***. So to answer your question, I don’t even want to say it that much, but s*** done got out of hand, man. S***, the pause s*** has got out of hand, man.”

Cam then said, “I learned that s*** when I was like 12, 13 years old from East Harlem, Jefferson Projects, man. It’s one of them things to stand on your toes like, oh, it’s a joke. You know, people don’t have to get that offended. We have no beef with LGBTQ. Like what I say to that is you can create your own s***.”
