34-year-old NFL star Cam Newton had a fan trolling him during an appearance at football camp. The fan mocked Cam’s no-ring record, and he gave the harshest clap back that got the fan playing the victim later.
After the fan told Cam that he has no ring record just like him, he responded, telling the fan that although they have the same record, they do not have the same bank account. Newton was impressed with his comeback and was jubilating. Before the fan chimed in with claims that he is too big to be engaging in things like that, he again responded, asking the fan to not play the victim.
According to the New York Post;
A fan attempted to heckle Cam Newton during a football camp, and the NFL quarterback couldn’t resist firing back a comeback of his own.
Newton was taking part in former UCF kicker Donald De La Haye’s “1ON1” tour during its New Orleans stop when a fan taunted the former Panthers and Patriots quarterback, according to video of the encounter.
Newton, the 2015 NFL MVP when he led Carolina to an NFC championship, went over to confront the person after he got tired of the fan chirping him.
Fan: How many rings you got? We got the same amount
Cam Newton: None but we don’t got the same bank account.
At one point, the video showed the fan yelling at the NFL quarterback, “How many rings you got?”
Newton responded, “none” to which the agitator exclaimed, “We’ve got the same amount.”
That’s when Newton, an 11-year NFL veteran, commented back toward the fan again and capped his response with an X-rated gesture.
“But, we don’t got the same bank account,” Newton said, before making the motion in the direction of the fan.
That’s when another fan chimed in, “You’re too famous to be acting like that.”
The video cuts off shortly after that point, but not before Newton said, “No, no, don’t play the victim now.”
Newton last played in the NFL during the 2021 season with the Panthers when he started five games and completed 69 passes for 684 yards and four touchdown passes.
Newton likely wasn’t wrong about the bank account comparisons with the fan, who looked to be in his early 20s, considering what he made during his NFL career.
According to Spotrac, he earned around $130 million over the course of his career.
This latest incident wasn’t the first time that Newton had exchanged barbs with a fan.
In 2021 during another back and forth, a high school football player chirped Newton over his free-agent status.
The younger football player eventually apologized for his taunting in that incident, according to TMZ.
If you are not emotionally intelligent enough to take a troll, I don’t think you are allowed to troll anyone. Celebrities are humans too, you can’t mock someone’s incompetence and act as if your financial issues are a no-go area.
Fan: How many rings you got? We got the same amount.
Cam Newton: None but we don’t got the same bank account.
