Cam'ron has weighed in on the Steph Curry vs. podcasters controversy, sharing that he believes the NBA champion sent a subliminal warning to those who criticized his wife, Ayesha Curry.
On the Friday (November 13) episode of It Is What It Is, the rapper and podcaster discussed the Golden State Warriors player defending his wife after retired athletes Gilbert Arenas, Nick Young and Emmanuel Acho made disparaging comments about Ayesha following her on-screen kiss with Second Chance Holiday co-star Matthew Daddario.
"Anytime Ayesha Curry shows up in your headline, kindly suggest that you just give the happy hands, the congratulations, and maybe the apology can be as loud as when y'all leading y'all shows with this topic," Curry said.

Around the 12-minute mark of the video below, Cam’ron pointed out that Curry posted a video instead of issuing a statement and considered the athlete's use of the word "suggest" to be a veiled threat.
"'Suggest' is like 'you better,'" Cam said. "The word 'suggest' is like, 'Yo, my n***a what I suggest you do is wave when you see my wife and shut the fuck up.'"
"The word suggests led me to believe he has something up his sleeve if you don't follow protocol," he continued. Cam then hypothesized that Curry could establish a deal with YouTube to cancel shows by the aforementioned sports personalities.
"I'm pretty sure YouTube would do a deal with Steph Curry to keep a couple people off to [get] a promotion from him," Cam said, joking that he was "scared" of Curry's video.
Young and Acho have apologized to Curry publicly, while Arenas continued calling Ayesha's actions a "blemish" while being sorry if the NBA star was "offended" by his comments.
