Rapper Cam'ron Shot Three Times In Washington, DC

[mal]

Superstar rapper Cam?ron was shot three times in Washington, DC this morning (Oct. 23) sources have revealed to AllHipHop.com.

The Harlem, New York native was leaving club H20 en-route to Love (formerly Dream) when three unknown gunmen approached the rapper.

While details are sketchy, eyewitnesses said the men were seeking the rapper?s pricey Lamborghini, which he was driving while in town for a performance over the weekend.

?They were after that car,? an eyewitness told AllHipHop.com. ?Cam refused to give it up and attempted to drive away and they shot up the car.?

Cam?ron was struck three times and while officials have not released his actual status, sources said at least one bullet struck the rapper in the arm.

His injures are allegedly not life threatening and the rapper was treated at Howard University Hospital.

?Juelz, Jim [Jones] and other Dip-Set members are with him at the hospital right now,? the source said.

Cam?ron, CEO of Diplomat Records, has been driving the blue Lamborghini since at least June of 2005.

"I bought the Lamborghini especially for New York," Cam'ron told a 106 & Park audience prior to being arrested. ?Because we figure that we can only see stuff like this in Miami, but I am bringing it to the streets of New York."

In July, police in Harlem stopped the rapper and arrested him while driving the Italian sports car for driving with a suspended license.

Officials at Howard University Hospital declined comment and police did not comment at press time.

You have to have a big set of balls to drive your Lambo around without a valid driver's license.

[StickyGreen]

[StickyGreen]

Stupidity does not equal balls.

[Kinky John]

Well it won't do his career any harm 4 sure . .

He can show off his capholes on stage now to the white middle classes . .

Sad as fuck if you ask me

Better yet pull out a glock, take a bullet in the arm and keep the lambo

It happens ALL THE TIME.

Bill Cosby's son was murdered in LA, perhaps in part because of his upscale Mercedes 500SL:

Flashy cars are alot of fun, but.. in the wrong place at the wrong time, they can be a huge liability.

fuck that i'll shoot them in the fuckin head.

[adultchica]

Come on, gangster have killed people for less. I'm glad the kid is ok. Remember when people used to get beat up or shot over their Nikes??

[RawAlex]

I have an idea. Every 6 months or so, they could get together all the new rappers and have them all shot. That way they can stop wasting their time trying to get street cred by doing stupid things like driving a lambo into harlem.

What is truly stunning is that there is a large group of today's youth that was to grow up to be just like this dumbass.

[Fletch XXX]

this is what happens when you preach material possessions over honor and respect.

No one likes Rakim anymore, they want crunk and gun shooting anthems.

Bring back positive rappers and turn up the Chuck D and turn off the crunk

[AlienQ - BANNED FOR LIFE]

Rappers can pretty much blame themselves for the lifestyle they preach and teach to others.

[Pipecrew]

On the other side of the coin, if he DID give up his lambo, he would be looked at like a pussy and his career would be over, other rappers would be ripping him up in their songs.

[xNetworx]

All I can say is "Break yo-self fool!!!"

[EscortBiz]

only an idiot would think it was for a lambo, this was mostlikly a staged botched murder for hire gone bad, goal was make it look like a robbery, yeah sure they wanted the lambo, def hard to locate a stolen lambo in DC lol

Now THAT'S funny!

I remember back in the 90's I was at the office in Manhattan and I was talking to a friend who was the manager or something for the group Digital Underground. One of the rare hip-hop groups I actually liked. I asked him if he was pals with Tupac and he said no cause he didn't want any parts of, "that life threatening shit!"

No sooner said than done, a few hours later it was quiet in the streets and in Manhattan late at night you can literally hear a guy yelling blocks and blocks away. I heard a faint "pop pop" like sound and thought nothing of it. Later I found out it was Tupac who got shot that night. Fucking unreal!

100 years from now they'll look back at these days like we look back at the old wild west.

[pornguy]

This guy will come back with new music about hoe tuff he is, because he got shot.

The real tragedy is how if you're successful you're always having to watch your back against crooks and jealous people. It's a real hassle. I got successful very young around 19. It was a daily fucking chore to just stay alive. Only way to beat them was to be far more dangerous than the opposition. I made it quite clear that any shit my way would be dealt with with overwhelming force. People were so scared of me it was hard to get a date!

I've seen many webmasters who made it after coming up from the bottom and then they got attacked for no reason other than they were successful.

Now you know why so many rich people are so cold hearted, it's because they come to a harsh reality about the cruelty of other people.

They should put all these hip hop idiots in an arena and let them kill each other off. These clowns have it made it to the easy life and then screw it up, one at a time.

Good for sales though.

I think Hip Hop is the WORST influence out there right now. It has the power to be the best, but we all know that will never happen. This is the shit that our kids (or future kids) are being raised on. When it's cool to be a ignorant thug and speak as if you failed out of 2nd grade... it's dark days.

oh for sure! every cat would be hating on him. you know hes obviously got insurance on a lambo, getting another one was not on cam's mind....

im a huge fan of killa cam and the dipset, next to jay cam is my fav artist and i hope he has a speedy and full recovery. dipset all day....
