In an interview with Philadelphia’s Power 99, Fat Joe addresses rumors of him taking Big Pun’s money and not helping out his widow, Liza Rios, and her kids. Fat Joe says that the rumors aren’t true and that the only ones keeping the late rapper’s legacy alive are him and Remy Ma.
He also states that he helped Pun’s wife raise $1 million, plus gave her extra on top of that but unfortunately, she ran through the money.
“I’m just a human being,” the “All The Way Up” rapper says. “I’m from the projects too. I came from the fucked up too, my family fucked up too. Ain’t no security. I ain’t no Kennedy, I ain’t no Diddy Combs, I ain’t no Jay-Z, I ain’t got it like them. I’m supposed to support somebody else’s family for 20 years? Niggas gotta get jobs.”
The 45-year-old Bronx native then goes on to says that he feels like he’s done all that he could do for her and he doesn’t owe her anything. If it weren’t for him and Remy Ma repping him so hard, no one would even care about Big Pun, he asserts.
“I had to drill that in her head,” he says. “These are the only niggas trying to rep your man.”
Rios sued Fat Joe in 2014 for more than $1 million. They settled the lawsuit for more than $2 million in June.

I hear Joe was pimpin Pun
Joe doing his best Pitbull impression in that pic..
I bet Chris Rivers does… too bad fat joe hasn’t helped the homie once. Fucking insulting and disrespectful
Chris Rivers has repeatedly stated that he wants no parts of Fat Joe’s “help”. Can’t say I blame him, and it’s not as if he needs it. The kid’s a star on his own.
Yea, give the dead some respect. Even though he been gone 20 years, it’s no question that his biggest contribution to his own life is big pun and now Remy. His music had no hits as of late. The biggest thing since pun passed is his biggest single ever which is leanback, and that record features Remy as we know so he should never talk about nobody bc he’s really produced nothing but mediocre music solo. He was dope when he came out bc we never saw a dope PR rapper. His lyrics was OK. I agree he’s disrespectfu
I meant to say FAT PR RAPPER.
Yo remy had a boob job already?
He forgot to mention Joell Ortiz
Dead right. Probably the best lyrical rapper of Latin descent of all time. Don’t really have any commercial hits besides that one joint he had, and can’t remember the name of it about 2 or 3 years ago. I
Shout out to Remy Ma’s titties out here flourishing abundantly for the culture. Look out for our newest business venture Remy Ma’s Bra’s. Promised to push them udders ALL THE WAY UP!!!!! #remymasbras
Dude dressed like the King of Zamunda…
Remy Ma is so beautiful.. I love her large breasts more than anything <3
Not to try to schit on Pun, ’cause he really was a dope MC. But he had ONE dope album. His 2nd album was widdidack. What’s this ‘legacy’ I keep hearing about? He’s the nicest Puerto Rican rapper ever, but who’s his competition? Gerardo? Fat Joe? who has bitten every trendy style he could get his hands on? Sacario? who had one song? Pun’s “legacy” is that he was 900 lbs, had one dope album, terrorized his wife, then died of a heart attack because he gained 500 lbs after signing a record deal. THAT is why nobody cares about his ‘legacy’.
SPOT. ON.
You could almost say the same with about Biggie but he had a lot more singles between album.
No one reps big pun? I may be wrong but I could have sworn he was the reason you and the terror squad blew up after he died? And he was a better lyricist than fat Joe too.
