Cam’ron is recuperating after being shot early Sunday morning in what appears to be a failed carjacking attempt, according to the rapper’s representatives.
A spokesperson and a source within the the MC’s Diplomats camp have confirmed Cam’ron was shot around 2:10 a.m. Sunday morning in Washington, D.C.
Cam’ron was driving away from the popular D.C. nightclub H2O in his blue Lamborghini when an unknown number of men tried to carjack him, according to the rapper’s camp. They pulled up in their own vehicle and demanded Cam turn over his car.
When Cam’ron did not cooperate, they fired multiple shots inside the car, shattering glass and hitting Cam’ron once in each arm, according to his rep. The leader of the Diplomats was taken to a nearby hospital and is said to be resting and doing fine.
The rapper was in D.C. participating in the festivities surrounding Howard University’s homecoming this weekend. He’s promoting his new movie and album, both called “Killa Season” and due in February.
