Cam’ron and Ma$e Troll Michael Irvin on Podcast, Referencing His Substance Abuse History
In a recent episode of the popular podcast "It Is What It Is," rappers Cam’ron and Ma$e took the opportunity to poke fun at Michael Irvin, a former NFL star and recurring guest on the show. The lighthearted jabs came after Irvin had just left the podcast, and the conversation shifted to viral photos of Marcus Jordan, son of NBA Hall of Famer Michael Jordan, appearing to sniff a white substance during a poolside lunch in the south of France.
Cam’ron and Ma$e used the occasion to humorously reference Irvin’s well-documented history of substance abuse. "Yeah, I’ll wait for [Michael Irvin] to get off before talking about that cocaine," Cam’ron said, setting the tone for a series of playful quips. Ma$e chimed in, "Yeah, we don’t want to trigger him," with Cam’ron adding, "We don’t want nobody getting triggered," emphasizing the lighthearted nature of their comments.
For context, Michael Irvin’s history of alleged substance abuse includes a notable incident from April 1996, when he was indicted on one felony charge of cocaine possession and one misdemeanor charge of marijuana possession after a March 1996 arrest at a Dallas hotel. Despite claims from a co-arrestee that she was solely responsible for the drugs, Irvin pleaded no contest to the cocaine charge and received four years of deferred probation. He faced another cocaine-related issue in June 2001 after his retirement, though those charges were later dropped.
The episode’s entertainment was largely provided by Cam’ron and Ma$e’s playful jabs at Irvin, who had just left the studio. The conversation shift towards Marcus Jordan’s viral photos served as a catalyst for the lighthearted banter, which was well-received by listeners.
