“Drake FaceTimed me three times to try to get on ‘All The Way Up.’ Three times. In the middle of the night. ‘Send me the instrumental. Send me the instrumental,'” reveals Fat Joe. “I wish I would have gotten Drake on it. But the history of it. I said, ‘yeah, it has to be just me and Jay-Z’!!! Anybody who truly understands, this is the moment. It ain’t just gon’ be a posse cut… Drake gotta forgive me.”
“I said because anybody who really knows, I been doing this for Hip-Hop. My whole life. I gave my life to Hip-Hop, forreal forreal. So I was like, anybody who truly understands, this is the moment. It ain’t just gon’ be a posse cut… And this the last time Drake ever asked me to do a song,” laughed Joe.
He continued, “Drake gotta forgive me, I’m like damn man please throw me a frisbee… ‘All The Way Up’ was that big that we had the best, the biggest… 50 Cent… everybody you can fu–kin name that’s a monster was hitting us up like ‘Yo, send the pro-tools.’”

In a recent Instagram live, Fat Joe stated that he might be jealous of Drake. “Let me tell you why I might be jealous of Drake,” Joe said. “I’ve never seen a guy people love more. Because it’s rumors his airplane — which looks like the flyest plane in the world — was actually given to him by a friend. Someone who wants to be down with the man who has a 15-year run of unstoppable hits.”
He continued, “Then there’s a guy who owns all the crypto sh-t, he buys the 2Pac ring for $1 million and he gives it to Drake. Who the f–k is giving people this type of sh-t? Yes, I’m not making this sh-t up!” “Bro, they won’t give me a f–king pack of socks… They won’t give me a croissant. F–k, this some bullsh-t.”
