Fat Joe has spoken out about their age-long beef with with 50 Cent and how it improved his standing in the hip-hop community.
In an interview with Cam Capone News on Tuesday, July 25, Fat Joe admitted that looking back, he had no animosity against the rapper of “Many Men” despite their back-and-forth with each other. On the other hand, he said that it helped him by changing how people perceived him.
“Although I worked for everything I got, although I never extorted nobody, although I didn’t bully nobody,” the 52 year old said, “I had the persona of New York Suge Knight. Like, y’know, people feared Fat Joe and the Terror Squad in that way, y’know? So for [50 Cent] talking about Fat Joe in the same city … the funeral homes was making bids.”
Check out Joe’s comments, and him recalling “two of the most dangerous crews” going at each other back in the day, below:
