Fat Joe has shared details about a private conversation he had with Kanye West shortly after the Yeezy mogul landed himself in hot water with his antisemitic beliefs.
Joe stopped by Jada Pinkett-Smith’s Red Table Talk, where he said Ye stopped by his hotel room shortly before he was scheduled to come on the show.
“I’ll tell y’all something. I was up a whole night going over what he said, and I was just like, ‘Damn. Man, he really did it this time,'” Joe said of Ye’s comments. “And so I was just thinking about it and how he hurt people with his statements and his comments. He really said some terrible things. And this morning, on the way here, I came out my hotel. The door opened, and it was Kanye West by himself.”
The pair spoke for about an hour, and Joe said he pleaded with the creative polymath to stop making such harmful comments.
“I said, ‘You know what, Ye, man? You do church. There’s no more powerful person than God. Sit down, talk to God,'” he said. “I said, ‘Listen, Ye, there’s people that love you.’ I told him just like this. I grabbed his shoulder. I said, ‘Well, God is telling me to tell you this,’ and I just told him, ‘Bro, you gotta snap out of this, man. You gotta get focused and look to God ’cause God is the answer. God is the key. Whatever you gotta do.'”
He continued: “He just gotta make it right with himself, make it right with everybody he offended and he hurt and just live whatever life we have left in peace. That’s all we can pray for, that he finds that, and the only person who got that answer for Kanye right now is God.
“Ain’t nobody else. It’s just God. So my thing is, you preaching at church, you around holy people, you around people who know way better than me. What I’m telling you is, look to God. ‘Cause he’s the only person that can straighten this out.”
Fat Joe’s conversation comes as Ye has continued to make disparaging comments about Jewish people, George Floyd, and white supremacy on Fox News, Drink Champs and other outlets.
Adidas, Balenciaga, Chase Bank and even Def Jam have all since cut ties with the Chicago star, and even Goodwill said it will no longer be accepting any of Ye’s products.
Elsewhere in his sitdown with Red Table Talk, Joe reflected on his own controversy he was involved in earlier this year when he came to Ashanti’s defense after Irv Gotti made disparaging comments about their alleged sexual relationship on Drink Champs.
“But listen, this guy who’s a friend of mine, he said, ‘Yo, you [censored] Ashanti?’ Now, I’m sitting here, like, flabbergasted,” Joe said. “Like, this was, like, you know, blasphemy or some shit. Right, ’cause she’s been my sister 20 something years.”
He added: “And Irv, my brother, I’m not even gon’ lie to you. I love him. He came for me at a time in my life I’m not trying to disrespect Irv. I’m talking about the situation with somebody I considered one of my brothers who’s like, ‘Yo, you [bleep]?’ I was like, ‘Are you crazy? Like, that’s my sister.’”
If that’s true, props to Fat Joe for his advice to Kanye. Now dude needs to stop being such an arrogant, egotistical narcissist. Ye should learn to be truly and sincerely humble; otherwise.. Pride comes before the fall.
Stupid opinion. Let any man speak free. Fuck who he “hurts”
You can speak as freely as you want…just dont complain when the consequences of that free speech hurt you
Your opinion would be fine if you lived in the Matrix, and you were the center of the world. Unfortunately, wreckless speech does influence others, especially the weak-minded and ignorant. Sometimes the weak-minded are susceptible and start believing that certain things are true. They then go out and make the world worse for the rest of us. Night club shooter, church shooters, Oklahoma City bombing (168 dead, 19 of which were children), racism, the holocaust, etc. There are real world consequences for the unchecked sick thoughts that people put out in the world.
Pooch…what the hell are you prattling on about? How does anything Kanye says have anything to do with anything you mentioned? Kanye hasn’t called for violence of any kind. I don’t like everything he says or does, but he hasn’t made any threats to anyone. You just don’t like his differing opinions. When he starts actually calling people to violence is when we should start to worry.
Word up, UnpopularOpinion.
Island Boy, I see nothing wrong with your comment. What are some of these dudes tripping about? More power to you!
Hangman, are you drunk? Who does that comment hurt? Some of y’all tripping over shhh.
There’s nothing wrong with your comment, Island Boy.
One example, the tweets for his fans to go see and harass Pete Davidson? There is plenty of others. Take care.
Sorry, my original reply was meant for Hangman. How does this internet thing work?
No prob, bro. Seems like this website is not functioning as it should lately. Press reply on the person’s comment to whom you would like to reply. But it’s OK. I understand.
Is anything really private anymore?
Personal hard drive disks
Ye is messing up hip hop
Fat Joe is comical ..not one time did Ye say I hate Jews he called out actual facts ..what’s been going on there are even interviews with lyor Cohen admitting to not caring about the harm he does because he has a family to feed ..this man is speaking on YE on the red table talk goofys everywhere and in the comments. Let’s cut the bullshit and not act like they don’t run media and entertainment industry ..look how they’re trying to do kyrie but nobody coming for the place that’s actually selling the film ..this world is full sheeps
The same table where Jada emasculated Will Smith.
Sheeps? Lol… the world is full of uneducated clowns like you.
Fat Joe gossips more than a groupie. Dude hasn’t shut up lately. Details “private” conversation. Key word: private. Keep it that way instead of talking about it for clout. What is up with rappers? Majority of them have serious mental illnesses.
I agree 💯
Some sensitive dudes need to stay away from the comment section.
Fat Joe is an attention seeking 🤡. Ultra dramatic “I opened the door and Ye was there” and then he goes on the Red Table with bald head nut to share a private conversation. That’s female shit.
