[@tony199002]

Cam and DaBaby... this is CLT Royalty! 704 all day! I love when their talking about fatherhood and spending time with their children. Black father's matter and I'm a black father! Me and my daughters have our things that we do together. We go to Cook Out every Friday for shakes. We go to 5 and Below or Michael's once a month for arts and little things (a mini shopping spree) and we go to Metro Diner for breakfast every other Sunday. Children really want consistency and they crave discipline. Shout out to the real Fathers!

[@mzmonroe11]

Love me some cookout 🥰 Big double burger tray for me please 🤌🏾

[@larhondamurray2208]

I truly enjoyed this interview. I am up in age, but every time i see this young man I have a new fondness for him. Great job Mr. Cam Blessings on Blessings to you both. 🙏🏿

[@MrJSAllison]

Charlotte loves these 2!!!! Charlotte GOATS

[@leelee6850]

One thing my son used to always say, “mama know she love DaBaby”. I have always loved Cam too bc I love to see young Black men taking care of their babies. My son now has two girls that he treasures more than anything. Much respect to both of you young men for making your way through adversity and indifference to become Black men of influence.

[@tikodavenport5427]

Literally my favorite rapper ever. Been a die hard fan since 2019 & loved every second of this interview. Salute to both of you gentlemen 🤝

[@demetresblakley1352]

All I can say...thanks to you Cam for bringing the Carolina Panthers back to life in 2011. Miss you tho, wish you nothing but the best and sucess🙏🏾

I really appreciate these real life interviews with genuine guests not minding sharing their worlds. This is A1!!

Back in the day the biggest football rivalry around 05-2010 was Independence vs Butler HS. Whenever we played them they had to host the games at Memorial Stadium uptown. That’s how big those games were

I’m from Norf Kackalacky and Dababy is the truth. Kills a man in Walmart protecting himself, stands on business, down to earth, takes care of family, been through it. Met him one time and I’m a white 44yr old hillbilly from the mountains and he acted like we went to HS together or something. Always respected that.

I raised 75k and Christina Ann Tucker. is to be thanked. I got my self my dream car 🚗 just last weekend, My journey with her started after my best friend came back from New York and saw me suffering in dept then told me about her and how to change my life through her. Christina Ann Tucker.. Tucker is the kind of person one needs in his or her life! I got a home, a good wife, and a beautiful daughter. Note: this is not a promotion but me trying to make a point that no matter what happens, always have faith and keep living!
