Cam'ron Trolls "Power" Actor Michael Rainey Jr. After Receiving Death Threats

Cam'ron can relate. The rapper took on the iconic role of Rico in Paid In Full where he famously shot and killed Mitch out of greed. Although Cam's career extends far past his acting career, many still associate him with Rico. In fact, in wake of Michael Rainey's alleged death threats, Cam stated that it's been eighteen years since the film launched and he's still getting asked about Rico's actions. 

"Yo bro, live with it 🤷🏽‍♂️.. it’s been 18yrs and they still asking.. why I killed Mitch 🤦🏽‍♂️😑.. #YaTurn😂😂#NiggasGetDeathThreatsEveryDayB#UBeAlright #UTuffRight," he wrote on Twitter.
