On a regular Tuesday night, you’d think the biggest drama might involve who’s wearing what at the latest red carpet event. But hold on to your champagne flutes—the talk show “It Is What It Is,” hosted by the legendary Cam’ron and Mase, just turned the heat up a notch! In a series of unapologetic Instagram posts, they didn’t just throw shade at veteran journalist Elliott Wilson; they practically launched a solar eclipse. Wilson, who critiqued their show while chatting on “Rory and Mal’s podcast,” stepped into a world full of surprises. You gotta wonder: did he expect to walk away unscathed? As Cam’ron and Mase sipped their bubbly, they turned their sights on Elliott, branding him a “washed hater.” Did he really think he could critique without consequence? Buckle up, folks, because this musical melee is just getting started!
The Instagram account for Cam’ron and Mase‘s talk show, It Is What It Is, went off on Elliott Wilson in multiple scathing posts on Tuesday night. The veteran music journalist had criticized the show during an appearance on Rory and Mal’s podcast earlier in the week.
“THE YEAR JUST STARTED & WE JUST CHILLING MINDING OUR BUSINESS SIPPING [champagne emoji] & HERE COME THIS ‘CUBAN GOODING JR’ LOOKING MUTHAFU*KA WITH HIS SALTY HATING AZZ,” the caption of the first post begins. “HEY YO @elliottwilson YOU WASHED & NOBODY IS CHECKING FOR YOU, #WETHENEWSOURCE GET USE TO IT [clown emoji] YOU A BONA FIED HATER AT IT’s FINEST.”

In a follow-up post, the account added a screenshot of Wilson’s Instagram page to reveal that they don’t follow him. They wrote: “HEY @elliottwilson THEN YOU GOT SOME NERVE TO BE FOLLOWING US, BUT AS YOU CAN SEE WE DON’t FOLLOW YOU [clown emoji] SO WITH THAT BEING SAID “CURVE” YA BREATH STANK, IF “PUN” WAS ALVE HE WILL TELL YOU GO THAT WAY.”
During his conversation with Rory and Mal, Wilson used Cam’ron as an example to complain about voices in media not having proper training and education in journalism. He argued that Cam isn’t nearly as good at the job as he is, but gets views because he’s a celebrity and is entertaining. Check out Cam’ron and Mase’s Instagram posts for Elliott Wilson below.
