Fat Joe has once again made headlines for his outspoken views, this time addressing two controversial topics during recent interviews. While speaking on Math Hoffaās My Expert Opinion podcast, the rapper criticized Foundation Black American (FBA) groups, labeling them āradical racistsā for their exclusionary stance on the Black diaspora.
Fat Joe on FBA Groups
FBA defines itself as representing descendants of enslaved Black Americans who built the United States. However, according to Fat Joe, the groupās exclusivity toward Caribbean and Afro-Latino communities fosters division.
āItās a group of these guys that donāt want to hear Jamaican, donāt want to hear Guyanese, donāt want to hear a Black guy not down with them, right?ā Joe explained. āSo, their job is to criticize anybody who doesnāt look like them. Who aināt Black American. The FBA, whoever these broke n*ggas is. Iām just keeping it a buck. And their mission is to attack everyone on Twitter.ā
Joeās comments sparked immediate reactions online, with some agreeing with his call for unity and others pushing back on his characterization of FBAās mission.
On Puerto Rican Trump Supporters
Fat Joe also revisited his disdain for Puerto Rican supporters of Donald Trump, a topic he has addressed previously. In November, the Lean Back rapper responded to racist remarks made at a Trump rally by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, who referred to Puerto Rico as āgarbage.ā
āIt breaks my heart,ā Joe said during an Instagram post addressing the incident. āHow the hell are they gonna call Puerto Rico, āAn island of garbage,ā and when I post on my Instagram, āThese the guys you voting for?ā and I see Puerto Ricans, āNo, weāre still for Trump 2024.ā Thatās that house n*gga mentality.ā
Joe expressed frustration over Latinos, particularly Puerto Ricans, supporting Trump despite derogatory remarks about their heritage. He further criticized this mindset, adding, āThatās a Latino that wishes he was white. Those [are] the guys in the commentsā¦change their voice up [and] try to sound whiteā¦Those guys I been fighting my whole life.ā
Fat Joe: Never Holding Back
Known for his unfiltered opinions, Fat Joeās remarks highlight his commitment to calling out issues of division and racism, both within and beyond the Black and Latino communities.
While his comments often ignite debate, they also reflect his passion for fostering unity among marginalized groups. As discussions about race, identity, and politics remain central to public discourse, Joe continues to use his platform to challenge what he perceives as hypocrisy and prejudice.
