Rapper Cam'ron disses Anthony Edwards, Adidas in freestyle response to commercial

Move over, Drake and Kendrick Lamar. Rap's newest beef is here, and it's between Cam'ron and ... Anthony Edwards?

Sports apparel brand Adidas released a new commercial on Friday for Edwards' new shoe, the Adidas AE 1. It starred the Minnesota Timberwolves guard responding to "receipts" or past criticisms on social media of him and his play. Rapper Cam'ron – also known as Killa Cam – was one of the social media critics referenced in the commercial, and he responded with a dis track freestyle on Monday.

"To me he's an All-Star," Cam'ron's receipt says in the ad, "but not a superstar, yet."

Edwards responds with a laugh before saying, "[Expletive] buddy."

The rapper initially appeared to take the call-out in stride, posting it to his own Instagram page with laughter and fire emojis before saying he would address it on the Monday edition of his "It Is What It Is" talk show.

On Monday morning, Cam'ron performed a nearly four-minute freestyle calling out Edwards and Adidas.
