N.O.R.E. pulled up on NYC content creator SOBER FACTS, real name Jason Rodriguez, and checked him over their longstanding issues stemming from the influencer’s use of the n-word. The food reviewer is of Dominican descent and is based out of Corona, Queens, nearby Noreaga’s LeFrak City neighborhood.
Now, in a video posted to Upper Cut Podcast‘s YouTube on June 16, 2026, SOBER FACTS revealed their issues stemmed from his use of the n-word. He said N.O.R.E. — who is of Puerto Rican and African American descent — checked the influencer about it and their back-and-forth began.
He said N.O.R.E. told him that he’d squash their issues if the influencer simply stopped using the n-word. However, the content creator opted against obliging to the rapper’s wishes. By September 2, 2026, SOBER FACTS — who prides himself on not drinking, smoking, and popping pills after beating addiction — posted a video outside of N.O.R.E.’s old apartments and continued to slam him for “drinking, smoking, and self-destructing.”
Influencer SOBER FACTS Responds To N.O.R.E. Pressing Him In Person Over N-Word
On Saturday (October 31), N.O.R.E. g-checked SOBER FACTS in person. He uploaded a video of the rapper popping up on him as he filmed outside a restaurant in NYC. In the video, N.O.R.E. aired out his grievances and SOBER FACTS simply listened and watched, stunned. Then, hours after the N.O.R.E. confrontation, SOBER FACTS uploaded another video. This time, he was amped up and going off on the rapper.
Hours after his initial response video, SOBER FACTS deleted it and uploaded a new video responding to N.O.R.E. While sharing the second video, he had a change of tune and said:
“I honestly don’t even want to use the word anymore, bro. I’m really just trying to end this sh*t—this whole back-and-forth. And to be honest, we both from Queens, bro. I deadass listen to N.O.R.E.’s music, bro. Even after all this drama, I still listen to the music. And I know what it is to get sober. I’m just a sober God, man. I’ve been through a lot of sh*t, bro.”
He continued to give N.O.R.E. “credit for running marathons, trying, and getting better.” He said, “I can see that and I’m really just trying to end this sh*t.” SOBER FACTS continued to say:
“I was addicted to coke, pills, blues, I did ketamine. I did a whole bunch of sh*t. I was a f**king fiend. So, that’s why when I speak, I’m always mad, bro. ‘Cause I been through a lot of sh*t, bro. I’ve been through withdrawals, rehabs, I overdosed.”
