Before interviewing Mya via Instagram Live, the pair discussed the fight between Youtuber Jake Paul and former NBA player Nate Robinson. Fat Joe says he supports Robinson for bravely participating in the boxing match and it takes a lot of confidence to fight in front of millions of viewers. As reported by Rolling Out, he says, “How many of you would have the heart to get in the ring at a Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr. fight and fight one-on-one against another guy, And so, yeah, he caught the L. But it’s so much heart of a lion to go in there and fight and I don’t think people are giving him the respect they should. And then a lot of people on social media, meaning you, just like to talk sh–. Basically, you wouldn’t do the sh– yourself.”

“I wouldn’t do it. When I had beef with 50 Cent, people were, like, fake offering me $10 million, $5 million, to go fight 50 one-on-one. I’m not scared of 50. I’d fight him for free half the time!
He added that fighting against 50 Cent would have fit a certain narrative and that the public needed to slow down with the jokes: “But to get knocked out on TV, it’s tough and I don’t think we’re giving [Nate] his respect. He got knocked out, I get it. It was explosive, it was crazy. I get it. But you can’t keep trying to kill our people that got the courage to entertain us.”
