Label Text:In 2002, Harlem rapper, Cam’ron wore pink mink to New York Fashion Week. Although he was not the first male rapper to wear pink (Big Boi wore pink to the 2001 MTV Music Video Awards), Cam’ron is widely credited with getting men into pink. “People showed me so much love for the pink mink I wore,” said Cam’ron, “I had to go out to Pantone and create my own color, which is called Killa pink.”
