Cam Newton/Rented Mule question

I know it has to do with something his dad said, but what exactly was said that earned Cam the nickname?

cam would have to do all the work at MSU and i dont want him being a rented mule to them

"They just don't have
all the moving parts. Cam was going to have to be the star. He'd have to
do everything himself. I didn't want him to be a rented mule."

And then I believe it was "no no, $200,000 is more than enough"

I feel some sympathy for the guy. It wasn't his fault, it was just his dumb-***, loud mouth daddy. Cecil might have written a check that Cam can't cash.
