During a recent episode of his sports talk YouTube show It Is What It Is, Mase hoped that President Donald Trump doesn’t decide to attend another NBA Finals game at Madison Square Garden after he and the crew were discussing how there were more celebrities than usual sitting courtside during Game 3 earlier this week.
“I’m just so glad that they didn’t have Trump come back,” he said in reference to the hoopla that the president’s attendance caused. “It just messed the vibe up, and having the arena back like it was gonna be before he came was really, really exciting to see, and I hope they keep it that way moving forward.”
Co-host Treasure “Stat Baby” Wilson then brought up that Taylor Swift attended Game 4 at MSG and that’s where Cam’ron went on a quick public service about bandwagon fans. “Nothing turns me off [more] than a follower. I can’t stand it. I hate it. I really, really hate it,” he ranted before saying he blocked multiple people for calling him about the Knicks for the first time after they erased the largest deficit in NBA Finals history on Wednesday (June 10). “Taylor Swift, what are you doing there? You’re not even from New York, and you’re jumping around. I hate people like that.”
Adding, “I smile and give you a handshake and still be your friend, but in the back of my brain, I’m like, ‘I have no respect for you. You’re a follower and me and you, we’re not the same kind. So, be careful trying to act like, ‘Hey, Cam, you seen the Knicks?’ Yeah. Congrats to the real Knicks fans. You’re a follower. You’re a Swifty.”
However, the pop singer has actually been a fan of the team for about 20 years and Knicks radio analyst Monica McNutt was reminded of that when she accidentally got herself in trouble with the Swifties after a hot mic caught her questioning Swift’s fandom as well. “She’s not a Knicks fan. Get out of here, girl,” she scoffed as her co-host Tyler Murray was trying to get a picture of Taylor Swift sitting courtside. To Monica’s credit, she took to social media and admitted that she was wrong.
