Cam’ron pitched a sky-high lunch date and confessed his long-running crush on Nia Long, revealing he’s still holding out hope.
During a recent episode of his “Talk With Flee” podcast, the Harlem rapper said he’d “always” be into the actress, even if the odds of something real happening are slim.
“That ain’t ever gone’ go away,” Cam’ron said of his Nia Long crush. “Am I ever gone’ get with her? I don’t know. She be giving me little shouts out here and there.”
He admitted he was “tickled” when Long acknowledged him in an interview, and while he’s not banking on a romance, he hasn’t exactly given up either.
“I’m always gone’ have a crush on Nia Long,” he explained. “Will it be a realistic thing? Who knows, man.”
When asked what kind of date he’d plan if he ever got the chance, Cam didn’t hesitate.
“Probably do lunch on the jet,” he said. “I’d probably just hire a chef, we’d just fly around for an hour and a half while we watch a movie, eat on the jet.”
But even with the fantasy mapped out, Cam’ron said he’s cautious about bringing his lifestyle into hers.
“I wouldn’t just like to take her to dinner one day,” he said, joking that he wouldn’t want to bring “what I’ve got going on” into her life.
Cam’s pursuit of Long dates back to October 2022, shortly after her breakup with former Celtics coach Ime Udoka. That’s when he slid into her DMs with a poetic pitch.
“You’re a queen, and by the way I’m a king,” he wrote. “Together we can achieve the greatness we were both destined for as a couple. As I sit here sipping gazpacho and watching The Best Man, I was inspired to reach out because that’s what I am—the best man for you!! Hope to hear from you soon my Mi amor or should I say ‘Ni-amour.’”
Cam’ron Finally Links Nia Long
The message went unopened for over a year. However, Cam’ron and Nia Long eventually crossed paths at a public event.
Cam posted a photo with her and captioned it, “He want the scoop, she want the tea, I cannot talk, we keeping it street!! Nia Long aka Ni-Amore.”

Since then, the subject of “Ni-Amour” has become a running joke on Cam’s show.
