Editing Cam'ron (section)

==Personal life==
On October 23, 2005, Cam'ron was leaving a nightclub in Washington, D.C., having performed the day before at [[Howard University]]. While stopped at a traffic light at the intersection of New York and New Jersey Avenues shortly after midnight, a passenger of a nearby car threatened Cam'ron to "give up" his 2006 [[Lamborghini]]. Cam'ron resisted, and the man then shot him. Cam'ron was struck at least once as he was holding the steering wheel, but he was able to drive, going the wrong way on streets and flashing his lights, until a fan drove him to Howard University Hospital. The gunman and passenger drove off, crashed into a parked car, and fled the scene. D.C. Metro Police recovered a cell phone from the scene of the crash, which they tried to use to trace the suspects. He stated that he does not know who shot him, although later, in the song "Gotta Love It" featuring [[Max B]], Cam'ron claims that he saw the gunman throw up the [[Roc-A-Fella Records]] diamond hand signal before shots were fired.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/10/23/AR2005102301334.html|title=Rapper Shot in Alleged Carjacking in D.C.|newspaper=[[The Washington Post]]|access-date=March 11, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://globalgrind.com/4284644/roc-back-jay-z-ends-20-year-beef-with-camron-but-heres-how-it-started-in-the-first-place/|title= Roc Back: Jay-Z Ends 20-Year Beef With Cam'ron — But Here's How It Started In The First Place|date= April 27, 2019|access-date=April 27, 2019}}</ref>

On April 22, 2007, Cam'ron was interviewed on ''[[60 Minutes]]'' as part of a piece on the [[Stop Snitchin']] movement.<ref name="60min">{{cite web |date=August 12, 2007 |title=Stop Snitchin' - 60 Minutes |url=http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/04/19/60minutes/main2704565.shtml |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070422115833/http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/04/19/60minutes/main2704565.shtml |archive-date=April 22, 2007 |access-date=February 27, 2011 |work=CBS News}}</ref> He stated that he would "not help the police" try to locate a potential shooter, saying he is "not a snitch" and helping the police would probably hurt his record sales, adding "It's about business but it's still also a code of ethics." When asked by [[Anderson Cooper]] if he would tell the police if a serial killer was living next to him, Cam'ron replied "I would probably move" but would not inform the police. He later apologized, calling it an "error in judgement":<ref name="60min" /> "Where I come from, once word gets out that you've cooperated with the police that only makes you a bigger target of criminal violence. That is a dark reality in so many neighborhoods like mine across America. I'm not saying its right, but its reality." Cam'ron has had contact with the police in the past. According to [[The Smoking Gun]], New York Police Department records indicate that Giles filed a report with police after he was assaulted by 15 unidentified men at a park in Harlem in 1999.<ref>{{cite web |date=October 20, 2014 |title=Rapper's Change Of Face |url=http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2007/0419072giles1.html |access-date=March 11, 2015 |work=The Smoking Gun}}</ref>
