Fat Joe is taking zero culpability for reigniting the beef between longtime foes Nick Cannon and Eminem on the Family Ties cut “Lord Above.”
TMZ caught up with the Terror Squad vet on Tuesday (December 10) in New York City where he took the “it’s Hip Hop” defense.
“I didn’t plan nothing,” he explains in the video clip. “I’m an innocent bystander. I’m not responsible. Are you crazy? I’m taking the high road. Let me tell you something, I love Nick Cannon. He’s a good guy and Eminem is a very good friend of mine and they got their little personal Hip Hop thing going, you know?
“Nick Cannon is a money magnet. He’s a talented man. He’s a beautiful person but then when you talk rap, Eminem’s a GOAT. He’s an alien in this rap game … with Eminem, he do what he want and I guess Nick Cannon gotta respond the same way.” [apple_news_ad type=”any”]
Fat Joe is also asked if Cannon’s claim about Em only being on the track because of Cannon’s friendship with Joey Crack is true.
“That’s not true,” he says. “I’m honored to be on a song on my album with Eminem and Mary J. I look up to Eminem lyrically. Nick Cannon, I’ve done two singles with him. He’s a good friend. I love them both. I think this is fun stuff going on right here.”
When questioned about the #RIPNickCannon hashtag that was trending on Twitter, he quickly puts the paparazzo in his place.
“I didn’t say that!” he snaps. “I never said that. I did not say that. Let the people decide what they want. That’s what this is — Hip Hop.”
He then refused to get lured into a conversation about Wild ‘N Out and whether or not Em should go head-to-head with Cannon on the show.
“Listen, whatever happens happens,” he adds. “I can’t answer that one. I’m about to leave. Get the drip. Family Ties.”
Cannon has fired off two diss tracks in the wake of “Lord Above” — “The Invitation” featuring Suge Knight and “Pray For Him” with The Black Squad.
Em has yet to respond to the latest.
Fat Joe says thats not true
Did everyone just forget about Nick cannon having Ems nuts in his mouth during that Vlad interview? That what Em was responding to.
And T.I. Podcasts
Bro, look up Charlemagne the God commenting on Nick Cannon as the wackest rapper ever on VLAD.
Bullshit clown nick came to you with his plan to get attention and you were all onboard like 99% of other media personalities just looking for drama like a bitch
This whole beef was reignited by Marshall because he’s still in his feelings about Mariah who ghosted him after they fucked a couple times nearly 20 years ago and he hasn’t been able to get over it – honestly, imagine you fucked a girl and didn’t call her back and she’s still talking about it to people 20 YEARS LATER since you’ve got married, had kids and generally progressed with your life. That’s exactly what Eminem is doing. It’s almost 2020 – no one gives fuck about that date Em and Mariah went on in 2001, let it go Marshall you fucking basket case
Fat joe and m are sell outs. Who cares about this made up fight for publicity? This will never turn into a fight. Two rappers trying 2 b relevant again. The pop songs are gone and so r u.
Eminem is relevent everytime he drops something says something or takes a dump what you on…
Lil shade is a 50 year old pop star trying to be young again. Every pop star runs out of gas. Shady is no different. Twenty years of bullshit pop records. All great HIP HOP ARTISTS have a classic album at least. Mathers has no HIP HOP CLASSIC RECORDS. I bought his debut album and it was alright at best. Nas, wu tang, jeru, tribe, de la soul, busta, beastie boys, black moon, smiff n wesson, jay z, biggie, outkast, dr. Dre, run dmc, public enemy, ll cooj and the ghetto boys all had better hip hop debut albums than marshall. Only some blacks think he is special. This is black music after all, right. No goat or legendary status. Just a white boy acting black so weak.
But MMLP is a classic.
Listen to m this morning dr dre and rick rubin executive produced the album, right. That album isn’t hip hop, in my opinion. The beats r terrible. Those beats r for the pop crowd not the hip hop scene. He can put words together well. Pop music doesn’t make him the goat. Hip hop albums do. U like pop beats and i like hip hop beats, cool. Chill bruh!
If nick is such a good friend, why even let the song be released with all that Em said
Fat joes new album is a solid 10/10 classic. Fav song is the one with Elton John pure fire.
Joe shouldn’t take any responsibility. Vlad instigated that crap.
Fat Joe is clout chasing, flow joe and lean back are his claim to fame over a 30 year career.
I rather be a wack rapping mogul than a washed rapper who always raps about the same woman who getting other rods
Buttlove! Dig in deep! Smell my aroma! Balls deep!
This was started on Vlad. The interview with cannon. Get your facts
Thats the essence hihpop, the underdog Nick Cannon taking on the giant Em. battle it out, win, lose or draw
