Cam’ron is vowing to protect fans from ebola with his newest
piece of merchandise: a surgical mask. Although the virus cannot be spread
through the air, the Dipset rapper claims the official Cam’ron Ebola Mask will
“provide complete protection” from the deadly disease.
“Wrap it up and protect yourself from Ebola just like Killa
Cam!” reads the copy in Dipset’s official store (via Vulture). The conventional
polypropylene/cellulose face-mask boasts an unconventional image on its front:
Cam’ron reclining in luxe, pink comfort. There’s also a full-width nosepiece,
to “guarantee proper fit”.
“Ebola is no joking matter,” Cam’ron tweeted. “So if u have
to be safe. Be fashionable.” But prospective purchasers should be advised: even
the illest hip-hop surgical mask does not change the fact that ebola travels
via bodily fluids like blood. Still, Cam’ron’s new merch was able to appeal to
some buyers: “buying 100 @Mr_Camron ebola masks just in case this shit spreads
to canada,” one fan wrote.
Cam’ron’s ebola panic does not extend across the music
scene. The rapper TI arrived in Ethiopia on 18 October, en route to a concert
in Tanzania. Although he posted photographs of his visit to an ebola checking
centre, he has mostly ignored the epidemic (there have been no reported ebola
cases in Tanzania or Ethiopia, after all). Instead, TI has written about the
beauty of the land and the “ultradope”, “megaturnt” gig, encouraging others to
visit the area.
So far, about 5,500 people have died from the ebola outbreak
in West Africa.
