Fat Joe On His Past Beef w/ 50 Cent: The Funeral Homes Were Making Bids; It Wouldve Came To Violence

you know one of the beefs that you're most popularly known for is the 50 Cent stuff man uh you know you do you do this New York New York record with Ja Rule and Jada you know did you ever think like you know it would turn into anything no like job was my man you know what I'm saying this was an Anthem for New York and uh you know but 50 I understood you know I grew up in the streets and it's even predator of prey so I understood his reasoning for going that Fat Joe because you know he was trying to finish Ja Rule and Fat Joe says man Fat Joe got a bunch of street credibility a bunch of this you know and he just felt like I was giving them that strength and so he was like yo let's just you know that's like it's like a Putin situation like he's just like yo we got it we got to get Putin and his man this man who wants to be on the front line pagoni we got to get him too and so I understood what his thing was that I think he would come at me no and it was pretty much it was really it was so brilliant because it was the shock and awe effect because Fat Joe although I worked for everything I got or do I never extorted nobody although I didn't bully nobody I had the Persona of New York Suge Knight like you know people feared Fat Joe in The Terror Squad in that way you know so for him talking about Fat Joe in the same city it was like you know like the funeral homes just like you know anticipating you know they they they they was like oh no they coming through like you know the funeral homes just taking making bids like oh it's coming through your normal person is like oh no this is like just think of wherever you from like two of the most dangerous Crews oh going crazy and then he has such a reputation I got such a reputation that it was not going nowhere but violence and we were almost forced to like go crazy if we ever bumped as it was it was it was forced like it was like they got to go you know what I'm saying so thank God that uh because Chris Lighty died you know we squashed the beef and now we the best of friends now we could tell jokes about and you know it's crazy but uh you know yeah yeah it was it was just it was a very tense moment were you surprised when he dissed you on piggy bank yeah I was surprised anybody would diss me like I tell you my my reputation was pretty uh impeccable with this game you know anybody who ever fronted on us who gave it to him so it's just these are all facts like you know what I mean so like it was like almost like a suicide mission like oh no word you're gonna go ahead like I was surprised I was like oh I wasn't used to that I had to learn 50 Cent taught me a lot of patience he taught me a lot of I had to learn I had to adapt you know was he the first person to actually go at you yes and um I had to learn I had to learn how to not be impulsive I had to adapt to social media you know I come from an era no social media so right now if you look at Fat Joe on Instagram I got 5.4 million if I was 19 years old right now I have 200 million fans this is dead time right and I'm still I still know how to tap in and be relevant on everything you know what I'm saying so at that time you know he he was young he knew what the social media was I had to learn you know I had to learn and so it was growing pains with 50 Cent because you know he would say something and I would answer back you know we just didn't understand you know like you know uh social media it ain't for real real Street guys because they we just don't know how to react on there you know in the streets somebody says something about you you just pull up yeah what we doing and social media in Albuquerque New Mexico talking like he down the block big time yeah that's real no no it's too real they talking to you like they're getting spicy but they moonlights away you know it ain't pull up over here man what's up exactly pull up where like how many times did you guys run into each other was it just the ones at the award show it's six seven years it was one time we ran into each other and that was like recipe for disaster we was there for the tribute for Chris Lighty but it was almost like a setup his trailer was in front of ours you know I said 50 Cent Fat Joe like come on what you think is gonna happen these guys are both terrible guys man he's about to go there like what I think they set it up like they was like all right let's see and that day the whole industry was out there looking like okay these guys been talking a lot of about each other like it's about to go down I believe I've interviewed somebody else and they said the same thing that they felt like they set somebody up but you lost out on a deal Michael Jordan yeah you know I was going to be the first artist rapid to ever have a sneaker a Jordan collab and I was meeting with actual Michael Jordan not even with like designers and you know Michael Jordan was picking that yo I wanted to be Latino I wanted to like we was like really meeting with Jordan here in Vegas too a couple of times it was like and then when we got into that 50 Cent beef you know everybody else was so nervous and then we we had that on MTV where I had this Tim live on TV and they dissed me and it just seemed like like I said the funeral homes was like they was waiting you know so Michael Jordan who's my friend mentor uh somebody who I look up to they and he had to call and be like yo you know I ain't into that type of stuff maybe in the future or something how much do you think you lost out on beefing with 50. I don't know man I know if it wasn't for anything else it would have been a great uh thing to say you know I got the first Jordan collab you know to show would have been a great part of History for sure for sure well uh Chris Lighty you know uh he passes away and you guys end everything you know how hard or was that easy to end it you know like what was the process um man man you know it was so much bad blood you know what I'm saying between us that you know uh I really really thought it would be violence you know what I'm saying and Chris Lighty you know throughout the whole thing he discovered me he wanted me and 50 to squash the beef and not be through the whole time he kept telling 50 that kept telling me that so when he died I went to the funeral I purposely went alone um I didn't want these these Maniacs with me you know so that one of them would start some you know so I made sure I went alone and uh 50 of them was in there they ain't looking at me stuff but not like that but the whole funeral was scared like you could just see everybody yeah paying respects because sliding with Joe's back there 50's up here it was like tense you know but we didn't say nothing to nobody and uh to each other I left no problem um and then I got the call from BET saying yo we want to do a tribute for Chris Lighty I said yeah they told me 50 Cent doing it to us and all right let's go and that's what happened we went in the rehearsal and we ended up by each other and you know the story you know we made peace and how did you guys relationship kind of continue on from there after that we became really really cool and you know he would come to Miami just to visit me you know one year we did a bird I did well I did a birthday party for him on a yacht big big yacht you know like a 200 foot or some you know and uh and you know we cool ever since man he's been the man of his word I've been the man of my world what's up this is Cam Capone we got more content like this coming soon so hit that like button subscribe and stay locked in to cam Capone news
