It’s not just the beard. Fat Joe became internet fodder over the weekend after he posted a photo of himself rocking a pair of khaki adidas Yeezy Insulated Boots, which many people thought looked ridiculous. N.O.R.E. quickly told him he “went too far,” while DJ Khaled offered, “Wow u really live a life naw but for real!”
But according to a recent Instagram Live stream with Brian “B. Dot” Miller, Fat Joe doesn’t see anything wrong with his fit. In fact, the Terror Squad founder insinuated people are simply jealous of his swag.
“What the fuck do y’all mean by, ‘Dress your age?’” he asks in the clip. “I don’t know if you know this, I’ve been so fly that it’s, like, working against me now. I’m getting backlash for being so fly … I wanna know why I can’t be fresh. Those Yeezy boots are sold out.”
Miller argued they looked “a little bit too bloated” and assured him “everyone makes mistakes,” to which Fat Joe fired back, “No, I don’t a mistake, that shit fly. And let me tell you something, I’m supporting Black-owned businesses when I throw on some Kanyes.”
From there, the topic turned to rappers from the 1990s and 2000s who Fat Joe suggested haven’t evolved with the changing times.

“They stuck in that box. For years!” he said. “… So when somebody says to me, ‘Dress your age’ or something, that means ‘played out.’ That’s a fly boot. B.Dot, you might be trapped in that era … I’ve seen some legendary rappers pull up on me in the 2000s — in ’20 ’21, ’22, looking like ’94, ’96.
“I don’t know if they want you to remember them by their outfits, [but] my whole life I said I’m not gonna be that rapper. I’m not gonna be played out. I refuse … I love the boot I wore. I’m not taking it back.”
While Miller insisted Fat Joe was still “fly,” they ultimately couldn’t come to an agreement on the Yeezy Boot debate.
“Fashion ain’t for everybody,” Joe added. “Everybody just don’t get it. You’re right: the 40 Below, Timberland, super fly. But that’s the comfortable, the norm … The [Yeezy] boot is good money. I’m telling you. I’m ready to sell this boot. I’m ready to make an NFT of this boot … The boot is here to stay.”
The adidas Yeezy Insulated Boot retail anywhere from $784 to $1,289 a pair depending on the website. Fat Joe has since embraced the roasting by sharing a handful of memes that were created at his expense. Check them out below.
buying yeezys is not supporting black owned business fool if yeezy owned his own factory employed his own people and bought the machines that poop out 30 dollars worth of material ready to mark up 1000% that would be supporting a black owned biz
Black ppl complain and create racism at same time….support black owned biz hahhaah get f outta here
White weenies create racism and then cry like little wetrag sissies when it comes back at them. Stop complaining about everything and get your lazy, pink asses off opioids and meth, and deal with life properly u little pigshit-dwelling inbreed spin-offs.
Black guys stay mad haha
“Pink asses” lol that one had me. Black people literally have no insults that actually are offensive to white people. Spin offs hahahah just happened to spin off with a smarter brain eh? Calls us druggies when black people do more drugs. Says we cant “live properly” when there is a higher percentage of employed and wealthier whites than blacks. Here’s the point where he whines that its the system holding him back hahahaha
Sounds more like your whining to me, but then again, that’s what y’all do. Whine about this, that and the other. Create racism and tension so y’all can feel better about y’all selves and sleep at night, but what do I know. I only came up in a black city, went to a black school, lived with black family’s, and yet I have seen the most hatred come from black people. Now, I already know I’m gonna get bashed for sharing the facts, but then again, y’all are just gonna prove me right. If you think I’m wrong, then prove me wrong. I’m not saying that there isn’t racism amongst white people, but a LOT of us are not exactly what people perceive us to be. I married a black woman who agrees with me because she doesn’t just agree with the masses. She observes then makes her opinions based on physical evidence.
I agree. I have a homie that sells his own brand of clothing and I’m not buying all his shit. BECAUSE IT’S NOT MY STYLE. I have bought a few items in support however.
Just because something is sold out doesn’t mean it’s fly… He looks like a male prostitute on the street corner ffs
Lol dude’s doubling down on them Luke Skywalker: Hoth Edition joints huh?
I mean the outfit is fly, but as the guy interviewing him said, they’re just too gaudy….I’m not a boot person anyway. Only boots i’ve owned are Tims…and that’s what I’ll stick to. If Kanye comes out with something fly that fits my personality, I’ll consider it…but I’m not buying some boots that don’t fit my image just to say I support black businesses
Dude look like someone baby sister
I wonder if he ordered a pumpkin spice latte in those Uggs looking white girl boots. Yeezy’s are some of the stupidest looking footwear out today.
Taking a picture in front of a full dumpster is NOT fly and those boots are hideous.
why you guys worried about what another dude is rockin
sounds a lil homo to me
good for you joe
just because something is expensive, does not mean it is worth the bread. what joe considers “fly” looks to me like “bum-ass”… it’s not just the stupid boots, it’s the stupid jeans, stupid jacket, stupid posing and elitist attitude that make fat joe lookin bum-ass on the street – complete with stank dumpster. dude your style is whack. there are plenty of other 50+ year old rappers that look fly – you just ain’t one of em. somebody gotta show fat joe that meme of the dog with tiny legs and a big belly
I think the boots are cool it’s his money he can afford them which many of us can’t do your thang fat Joe
The entire outfit looks like garbage regardless of how much it cost. The boots looks unisex and should not be worn by a guy that old. Yeezy has no style himself walking around with blue Jean top & bottom with gloves like he bout to commit a crime. So People have good fashion sense while others don’t. Timberland’s would have looked better. I’m 42 and I don’t buy jeans with the hood in them. Just saying.
