"Cam'ron has a lot of extracurricular ventures throughout his career that go far beyond his secured space within hip-hop. One of these was his role as Rico in the 2002 film Paid In Full. Recently, Killa Cam reflected on this acting gig on his Talk With Flee show, positing that it's responsible for the October 23, 2005 shooting that hit him in both arms. He faced a failed carjacking at a red light in Washington D.C. and somehow drove himself to the Howard University Hospital despite his injuries. The Dipset rapper linked this to a line that Dame Dash made him say during reshoots, which went something along the lines of this: "I’ll give you some n***as from D.C. but not no Harlem n***as."
Cam'ron also recently reflected via his "Talk With Flee" show on regretting not working with Eminem and Nas earlier in his career.

"N***as from D.C. already don’t like New York n***as," Cam'ron shared while recalling how he tried to remove this line to no avail. "He told me I had to do it, so I did it. And four years later, n***as shot me in D.C." Dame Dash, the producer working on a sequel, previously told a similar story. "Cam went through a lot, you know?" he remarked on All The Smoke back in 2022. "He got shot over that role in Washington. [...] I was asking him to do another role once and he was like, ‘Yo bro, I got shot over that role.’ [...] So when I found out, I felt a little responsible and I didn’t wanna put anybody in that position again."
