Cam’ron has vowed that he will use all of his resources to complete a song in honor of his late mother Fredericka Giles.
On Sunday, May 14, the Dipset rapper posted a flashback photo of himself and his mother wearing vintage t-shirts from “The Diplomats” along with a clip of him sobbing in the recording studio.
“I realize I make this thing appear simple…but it’s not,” Cam remarked. I’ve been trying to finish this song for three months, but every time I get to the first line, I just start crying. I miss my mom dude. I’ll wrap this up today though. I miss and love you, mum.
At the age of 67, Cam’ron’s mother died away back in February. Cam revealed on Instagram at the time that his mum had passed away in the hospital from an undisclosed illness. In the beginning of the article, he said that he didn’t “have the strength to put into words to express what my mom means to me,” and he disclosed that his mother had had a stroke in 2007 that had left her physically disabled.
If you followed her or were her friend on social media, you wouldn’t have known that her mother suffered a stroke in 2007 that left her largely paralyzed on her left side and with a speech impediment, Cam’ron wrote. She was outspoken, witty, hilarious, smart, and caustic. Even though I wasn’t writing my mother’s captions, people kept telling me that I was. When I saw my mother’s captions, I would inquire, “Where are you learning this?” She tells me to “be easy, lil homie” in lingo, which is funny. I’m therefore devastated to share her passing with you folks.
The creator of Dipset further explained that he had changed his mind about doing so because of how much Virgie, as she was called online, meant to her online community.
Cam’ron stated, “I wasn’t going to share this because I’m in so much pain and didn’t think it was anyone’s business.” “But after giving it some thought, I wanted to sincerely thank you all for making my mom’s days and nights for the past ten or so years. She frequently used social media for amusement, news, and gossip, among other things. She would send me anything, good or terrible, she thought I should know about me.
She also argued with me over buddies on this site, he continued. Anywhere I played a gig (Boston, California, Texas, etc.), she would say, “Hey, my friend is going to be at the show, get him/her in!” I’d also tell her, “Mom, you don’t know these people.” She would respond, “Yes, I do, that’s my friend,” “You’ve never even met them,” (me), “I said, get them in!” (her),” Laughing and I would.
Cam’ron has provided fans with details on his close friendship with Fredericka Giles, who even made an appearance on his 1998 debut album Confessions Of Fire in the song “Me, My Moms & Jimmy.”
The rapper debated with his mother over whether she had the right to claim Harlem in a text exchange that was revealed in 2020. As a kind of identification, she rewrote his first few words in the third verse of “Welcome To New York City,” writing, “Moved to 101 W 140 St when the shit was live… 5th floor 56, you know the zip, district 5 in November 1963.”
