Fat Joe is mourning the loss of his beloved mother, less than three months after his father also passed.
In a post to Instagram over the weekend, the Bronx native shared a carousel of images of his mom as he surmised that his father called her to be with him.
“This a real one, rest in peace to the woman who brought me in this world,” he wrote. “She didnt have much but she gave us everything. Anyone who knows my Mom knows she had a heart of gold, she refused to move out the projects for many years even though i had money. She loved her community, she loved her people,Ms Ruby the Terror Squad Queen. she was sooooooo proud of us meaning everyone in the crew.
“She asked about Remy , Khaled , Rich, Terrell everyday. I have to give thank’s to the father my God for letting me have her in my life this long, truth is she died of a broken heart 60 years with a man and he recently just died, my Dad wanted her with him. I tried everything humanly possible. she was happy, to the Castro family, the Cartagena family, the Delgado family i love you and thank you for the outpouring of love”
