Fat Joe has once again made it clear that he has nothing left to prove as he set the record straight about one of his nicknames that, until now, was perceived to be badass.

On Monday (November 27), the Terror Squad boss took to Twitter to reveal the backstory of “Joey Crack,” a name he’s been referred to as for decades now.

“They call me Joey crack cause the crack of my ass show whenever i stand up girls in my hood gave me the name [laughing emoji] it was never because the drug crack God is great,” he admitted in the social media post.

A handful, contrarily, were impressed with the transparency, with one user saying: “Growing up off 90’s Hip Hop and I never knew that. That’s actually some real shit to even admit.”

JAY-Z also provided some context on one of his nicknames recently, though he came out the other side looking way cooler than Joe.

The Brooklyn MC has many aliases, but he singled out “One Take Hov” and broke it down during a conversation with Gayle King last month.

The 53-year-old veteran spoke with the seasoned reporter for a CBS News segment on his “Book of HOV” library exhibit in New York City. During their chat, the Roc Nation mogul explained where the moniker came from back in the day.

“This was when you were recording to actual tape,” he said. “So you can’t mess up because then you gotta go all the way back and you gotta cut the tape. That’s where the whole ‘One Take Hov’ came from, because if you wanted to fly the chorus on this thing — you had to go to dinner. It took an engineer hours.”

He continued: “He had to cut the tape, fly it over here. So I started learning my lyrics really good so I could do them one time, you understand? Straight down and I didn’t waste time.”
