• Cam'ron's recent CNN appearance has gone viral after the rapper slammed the network for asking about Sean "Diddy" Combs during his live interview

• The Diplomats rapper was questioned about the surfaced 2016 video that shows Combs physically assaulting singer Cassie

• He was also asked about Combs' industry practices and how the music mogul's abusive behavior went unchecked for years

Cam’ron is going viral after a CNN interview with him went sideways following several questions about Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and his abusive behavior.

The Diplomats rapper, 48, appeared on the network’s NewsNight program hosted by Abby Phillip on Monday night, May 20, where he was questioned about the 2016 video that recently surfaced showing Combs, 54, physically assaulting his ex-girlfriend, singer Cassie.

Sharing his reaction to the surveillance footage, Cam’ron said, "Everything in the video is egregious ... I’m against." He continued, saying he "don’t support” any of the crimes Combs has been accused of. He added, “Being that I know him — he’s not necessarily a friend — but yeah, I was upset when I seen it."

After Phillip followed up and asked the It Is What It Is podcast co-host if he “recognized that kind of anger” from Combs, the interview quickly went left.

“I don’t know him like that. What do you mean do I be recognize — did I recognize him?” a visibly irritated Cam’ron replied.

“I seen him. What you mean my ‘experiences’? I seen him, and I thought it was disgusting,” he continued. “I didn’t do a zoom-in to see if it was really him or nothing. But he admitted it was him, so, yeah, it was him.”

Phillip then asked Cam’ron what he thought of the apology video Combs posted on Instagram on Sunday, to which he said, “The apology ain’t for me to decide, that’s for Cassie. What I think about it don’t matter.”

The interview continued to go off the rails after Phillip played a clip from Cam’ron’s podcast with fellow rapper Mase, in which the rap artist asked his co-host why he initially took him “to Biggie Smalls and not Bad Boy” (Combs’ record label that Mase was previously signed to) to get a record deal during his early career days.

After the video concluded, Phillip asked Cam’ron, “Is there something known in the industry about how Diddy treated his artists?” The Purple Haze artist appeared to ignore the question at first as he busied himself with taking a shot of PinkHorsePower (a sex supplement for the male libido) on camera, finally responding, “Sorry, I’m gonna get some cheeks after this HorsePower joint.”

Cam’ron then declined to comment on Combs’ industry practices, saying, “I can’t really tell you how Puff moves or anything like that.”

Pressing further about what he may be able to speak on as far as people in the entertainment industry “protecting” Combs, a frustrated Cam’ron blurted, “Who the talent agent for this joint? Like, you think I be sitting around watching what Diddy do and all this? I didn’t know this was a Diddy joint that y’all invited me to.”

Turning to someone off-camera, the rapper then asked, “Yo, who booked me for this joint?” before Phillip wrapped up the interview.

Several figures have weighed in on Combs’ disturbing actions since CNN surfaced the footage of his attack on Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, 37, on Friday. Denise Brown, sister of the late Nicole Brown Simpson — ex-wife of the late O.J. Simpson who was murdered in 1994 — commented on the video in a statement to PEOPLE that reads, “It’s a shame things have to get to such extremes before we start talking about it AGAIN. Sadly, it occurs every day and does not discriminate.”

"It happened to Nicole. It happened to Cassie. It can happen to anyone," she added, referring to the abuse Nicole faced before her death. "It’s about power and control of one human being over another."

Suzi Siegel, a former assistant of Combs, also told CNN that though she claimed to have "never" seen the music mogul act abusive toward Ventura in public while she worked for him, "there was not one cell in my body that was surprised" by the brutal surveillance video.

Combs posted a video apology on Instagram on Sunday, in which he said, "I take full responsibility for my actions in that video." He also said, "It's so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life," before adding, “My behavior on that video is inexcusable."

"Disgusted. I was disgusted then when I did it, I'm disgusted now,” he continued of his “actions.” “I went and I sought out professional help, going to therapy, going to rehab. I had to ask God for his mercy and grace. I'm so sorry, but I'm committed to be a better man. Each and every day.”
