Cam’ron has always been known for flexing his Harlem roots, but his latest revelation puts a surprising West Coast twist on his legacy. During a recent episode of It Is What It Is, the Dipset rapper casually dropped a bombshell: his family owns the iconic Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles.
The news caught fans off guard, as Cam’ron has rarely spoken about ties to the legendary California eatery, which has been a cultural staple for decades. From celebrities to everyday foodies, Roscoe’s is known nationwide for its unique blend of Southern soul food and West Coast remarkable. And now, we know that Cam’s family has had a hand in keeping that legacy alive.
“My family owns Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles,” Cam said, almost offhandedly during the show. “I never really bring it up, ‘cause I just didn’t think it was necessary. But yeah, that’s us.”
While details on exactly which family members are involved haven’t been fully confirmed, the statement instantly sparked a wave of online reactions, with fans revisiting old interviews and appearances for any breadcrumbs Cam may have left over the years.
Roscoe’s, founded in 1975, has long been considered a cornerstone of California’s culinary culture. With locations across Los Angeles and beyond, the brand has been co-signed by everyone from Snoop Dogg to Barack Obama.
Cam’ron’s connection to the brand not only adds another layer to his already multifaceted career as a rapper, entrepreneur, and sports talk host but also shines a light on the quiet moves his family has made behind the scenes in the business world.
Whether this new information leads to future collaborations, merchandise drops, or Harlem-to-Hollywood crossover projects remains to be seen. One thing’s for sure: Cam has once again proven that Harlem is the home of the hustlers.
