Fat Joe is one of those who’s never shy away from showing respect and love to his peers, as well as this generation rapper. The South Bronx legend was the latest guest on the “I Am Athlete” Podcast where he praises Kanye West and called him his favourite rapper. During the discussion of charity and fake people in the industry, Fat Joe said, “When Kanye West gets around me, he’s as normal, as real as he can be. no extra sh*t.”
“Kanye is my favourite rapper in the world and I love him to death,” he said. “He’s my favourite rapper, he’s been my favorite rapper. And I won’t turn my back on him. No matter what he do. I f**k with Kanye. He’s a genius, he’s incredible and I f**k with him. A lotta people we cool with, they don’t vote like us, they don’t agree with everything, but we gotta f**k with him. He made ‘Jesus Walks’.”
During his I Am Athlete podcast interview, the Bronx rap star also revealed some of the wisdom he provided his children. Celebrity children are sometimes assumed to have opulent lives because to their super-rich parents, but Joe makes it plain that his children are aware of their financial status. “You should never lie to yourself. Don’t even lie to your family. I tell my wife, I tell my kids, we are not Sean ‘P Diddy’ Combs or Shawn Carter, JAY-Z,” said Joe. “One day my son, he was like, nineteen, he’s like, ‘Yo dad, look at this!’ I look at it, he got Dr. Dre son on a private plane, you got JAY-Z. He’s like, ‘This is how the sons are moving now!’”
