Fat Joe, hip-hop artist, and podcast guest, found himself in the spotlight this week due to a captivating tale he shared during an episode of the influential Records podcast. The story revolves around his alleged role in facilitating a collaboration between The Notorious B.I.G and Bone-Thugs-N-Harmony, resulting in the creation of the hit track “Notorious Thugs,” featured on Biggie’s album Life After Death.
According to Fat Joe, he received a call from Biggie, who expressed his desire to collaborate with Bone-Thugs-N-Harmony. However, the Ohio-based group seemed uninterested and reportedly ignored Biggie’s requests. Joe praised Biggie’s foresight in recognizing the immense talent of Bone Thugs, especially since they were not yet widely recognized in New York. He claimed that Biggie trusted him as the go-to person to make the collaboration happen, stating, “I know you have the connections. You can make it work.” Joe accepted the challenge, assuring Biggie that he would deliver.
However, following the release of the podcast episode, numerous fans questioned the authenticity of Fat Joe’s story. In response to the skepticism, Fat Joe took to Instagram to address the doubts and offer further clarification. In a video shared on the platform, he explained that Tupac’s involvement played a significant role in Bone Thugs initially declining the collaboration with Biggie. Additionally, he mentioned that the long-time manager of Bone-Thugs-N-Harmony could validate his account. While the video lacked specific details, Fat Joe confidently asserted that multiple individuals involved would corroborate his story, ultimately proving its veracity.
The Instagram video has since garnered substantial attention, attracting hundreds of comments from fans engaged in a heated debate about the truthfulness of Fat Joe’s claims. As the discussion continues, it remains to be seen whether Fat Joe’s story will be validated by the individuals he mentioned, thereby putting the doubts to rest.
