Celebrity Birthdays: Happy Birthday, Chris Rock!

Bobby Brown and Robert Townsend also celebrate.

"Curtissss" - Just a few days before his born day in 2007, Killa got into an epic phone argument with 50 Cent. Fif had called Koch Records a "graveyard," which got Cam a bit riled up. The two began a heated exchange on the phone, comparing sales numbers of their artists. The lasting legacy from that day, though, was Cam's incessant yelling of "Curtissss." Soon, using the star rapper's government was fully in play: Cam released a diss, "Curtis," and 50 called his next album Curtis. (photo: John Ricard / BET).
