Cam Newton Vs. Mascot
It all went down after a 40-yard dash between the Alabama State Hornets’ mascot and the mascot of the Alabama A&M Bulldogs, Butch Henry. Cam was hyped, celebrating the Hornets’ win, but the Bulldog mascot apparently took it personally. It’s unclear who threw the first jab or push. But things quickly got physical: Newton open-hand slapped the mascot, while Butch Henry kept it coming, and Newton ended up shoving him while repeatedly yelling, “Stop playing with me!”
Of course, the moment didn’t stay quiet for long. Clips immediately went viral, social media had a field day, and even Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin threw in a playful jab: “Cam Newton-1 Bulldogs Mascot-0.” Safe to say, Cam wasn’t playing games… and this mascot probably won’t forget it anytime soon.
The TL Ran Up Jokes & Questions
As soon as the video hit feeds, fans rushed to The Shade Room comment section to weigh in. And, the reactions were… chaotic, as expected. Some were straight-up confused, typing things like, “WTH is going on?” while others couldn’t help but clock Cam’s outfit, saying it made him look untouchable and not someone you’d try to play with. The comment thread quickly became a mix of laughter, shock, and full-on Cam stanning energy.
One Instagram user @thereal_teejayy said, “Cam be fighting everybody… kids, mascots, gillie 😂”

Cam Can’t Stop Leaving Fans Shook
Cam Newton is at it again, proving he’s always in the headlines for a reason. The former NFL star went viral after spilling the tea on his relationship with Jasmin Brown during an interview with Parker McKenna, revealing that he had demanded a full list of her previous sexual partners before fully committing. While Cam’s confession gagged social users, Jasmin’s calm, collected response had the comment sections choked — because, of course, Cam somehow manages to turn even a personal convo into trending news.
