The King of New York.
It's a title that's been floating around since The Notorious B.I.G.'s reign.
In more recent years, people like Tekashi 6ix9ine have called himself the King of New York, so has A$AP Ferg, Cardi B, Kendrick Lamar and others. On the other hand, Dave East made it clear that he wants nothing to do with the title.
Cam'ron weighed in on the King of New York thing during an interview with Complex and had a lot to say about it.
"You got 6ix9ine saying he's the King of New York or whatever; Pop Smoke [was] saying he's the King of New York, God bless the dead. I really love Pop Smoke's music. I miss him. But what is the King of New York, really, in detail?" asked Cam. "Are you going to pertain it to doing music and having the most guys in the street and not having a problem and not having beef? It really depends."
"If you want to ask me to be genuine, as far as King of New York, as far as music or entertainment, you got two people: you got Diddy, and you got Jay. Don't get me wrong. Like I said, these young artists… I get where they're coming from, but let's be realistic. You got two billionaires; if you're not a having a billion, then you know."
Do you agree with Cam'ron?
