Fat Joe BioSnap a weekly updated Biography. Fat Joe has been lighting up the hip-hop scene this week with sharp takes on his Joe and Jada podcast that are sparking major buzz. On the January 20 episode alongside Jadakiss, according to the Joe and Jada YouTube channel, Fat Joe side-eyed J. Coles spot in raps Big Three after Cole bowed out of the 2024 Kendrick Lamar-Drake beef, saying Cole didnt come outside like true hip-hop warriors such as 50 Cent or even The LOX facing giants. Vice and Rap-Up both report Joe lamenting that Coles quick apology and retreat cost him street cred, even as Jada shouted out Coles upcoming mixtape over LOX beats like Money Power Respect and his album The Fall Off, insisting bars and fans will decide his legacy. This debate, replayed on The Breakfast Club full show via iHeart, has fans divided on whether Coles smart move or weak retreat defines him long-term.

Dixon, where AllHipHop and Hot97 reveal Dixons lawyer Tyrone Blackburn claims death threats from Joes goons including creepy Instagram pics of Dixons grandma and messages like You food we gonna eat have them too terrified for in-person court, pushing for Zoom depositions.
