Friendships in hip-hop are often defined by collaboration and respect, but for Cam’ron and Mac Miller, it was about genuine connection. In a candid episode of his YouTube series Talk With Flee, Cam’ron reflected on the late rapper, offering fans a glimpse into the man behind the music. The stories reveal a side of Mac Miller that few ever saw: fun, down-to-earth, and always ready to make people laugh.

Cam’ron reflects on his friendship with Mac Miller
Cam’ron opened up about his time with Mac Miller, describing a friendship that went beyond music. “That was my friend. We didn’t always do music. He would come to my crib, and we’d just watch TV and snap on Skitzo [my producer and friend]. Mac Miller was hilarious,” he said.
The connection even extended to family. Cam’ron shared how his late mother adored Mac’s presence.
“My mother, God bless the dead, loved Mac Miller because she would hear Mac Miller’s at the house and she’d say, ‘Yo, put on Twitter that you’re at my house.’ And he would tag my mother on Twitter, and she would get, like, a thousand followers. So whenever Mac Miller would come to the crib, she would be really happy,” Cam continued.
Cam’ron emphasized that their relationship wasn’t just about studio sessions. “Outside of music, he was just a cool dude, a funny n*gga. It wasn’t all about music [with us]. I think we got three songs that we did together out of the 10, 11 times that he came to my house. I really f*cked with that kid.”
He also shared his shock over Mac Miller’s death, which was ruled an accidental overdose. “When I was with him, I never saw him do no type of drugs, so when I saw that shit come out [about his death], I was like, ‘What the f***?!’”
Cam’ron and Mac Miller collaborated on tracks like “Ignorant” and “Dig That,” and they even had plans for a full project together. These stories remind fans that beyond hits and headlines, rap friendships are about loyalty, laughter, and shared moments, the true heart of hip-hop culture.
