Fat Joe has been accused of lying about recording almost an album’s worth of songs with The Notorious B.I.G. before he died.
According to Lance “Un” Rivera, who was a business partner of Biggie’s, the “Make It Rain” rapper is not being truthful about the project.
He said on The Art of Dialogue: “I love Fat Joe, Fat Joe is my guy. I love the Jada and Joe show, and now I know why they’re running with the Joe’s the King of cap. I’ma call cap. I’ma call cap without even knowing. Because I don’t know for sure, right? If there was a real legitimate album, I would have heard about that.”
Rivera added: “I would have heard about them doing songs together, because in Daddy’s House, if B.I.G.’s going to studio, you could get a verse or you might not get a verse, depending on his mood and how much money you had in your pocket. You know what I’m saying? Because he was a, ‘how much weed you got on you’ type, you know what I’m saying? But I call cap on Fat Joe. Show me the receipts.”
Joe has long said that he worked on an album with Biggie that was mostly comprised of 2Pac diss tracks.
He said in 2021: “We cut about five songs together. He was like, ‘You the Latino don, I’m the Black don.’ And we was in that studio going crazy. It’s verified by Puff Daddy and everybody. I’ma keep it real – at the time, we were dissing Tupac a lot and all that and so that should have never seen the light of day. Which is respectfully so, because you know they both passed on. But yeah, I worked with the B.I.G. for real.”
Joey Crack recently accused BET of gentrification for cancelling the Hip Hop and Soul Train awards.
Speaking on his Joe & Jada Podcast, the “Make it Rain” rapper detailed his disgust at the decision.
He said: “This is a form of gentrification.”
Joe continued: “Little by little over the years, quietly they’ve been firing a lot of people behind the scenes at BET and everybody who has something to say. And I know ’cause I’ve been working on the BET Hip Hop Awards for three years. It was like the budget, not for me, but the budget just kept getting chopped and chopped and chopped.”
