AceShowbiz - Cam'ron's mother has sadly passed away. When announcing the devastating news on Instagram, the "Oh Boy" hitmaker admitted that he has been in "a lot of pain" since the death of his mom Fredericka Giles.
Making use of Instagram on Saturday, February 18, the 47-year-old shared throwback photos of him and his late mom. He began his lengthy caption by writing, "What a f**king ride man!! Right now I don't have the strength to put into words to express what my mom means to me, and I'd have to right a book and maybe I will."
"In 2007 my mom had a stroke leaving her partially paralyzed on her left side and a speech impediment, but if you followed her or was her friend on social media you would never know any of that. She was witty, funny, intelligent, sarcastic and out spoken," he added, remembering his mom. "People would say 'cam I know you're writing ya moms captions' and I wasn't. I would see my moms captions and say 'where are you learning this?' (Lingo) she's tell me 'be easy lil homie' lol."
"So I'm so sad to inform you guys of her passing," the emcee divulged. "I wasn't going to share this because I'm in a lot of pain and Didnt think it was anyones business, But thinking about it, I really wanted to thank you all for making my moms days and nights for the last decade or so. Social media was her go to for, entertainment, news, general gossip etc. She would send me anything she thought I should know, about me or not, good or bad."
Cam'ron went on to note that his mother "wasn't doing well on my bday that just past." He then recalled, "When I walked in her room (in the hospital) she was on IG saying 'everyone wants to know what's up with me cause I didn't post for your bday' I said do you want me to help you make one? She was like 'nah'. She wouldn't want anybody else posting for her."
Before concluding his message, the hip-hop artist emphasized, "So this message is really for y'all guys (her social media friends) thank you all for liking, loving and appreciating my mom. My biggest supporter, best friend and mom." He later disclosed that Fredericka passed away on February 9 and her viewing will take place on February 23 from 2 P.M. until 8 P.M. at Benta's funeral home in Harlem.
