Fat Joe doesn’t think too highly of Tekashi 6ix9ine based on his recent interview with Math Hoffa, where he referred to the GOOBA rapper as a “p**sy,” a “sucker,” and a “b**ch,” among many other derogatory words. The 51-year-old Lean Back lyricist, who previously said that the worst thing one can do in the history of mankind is be a rat, discussed 6ix9ine’s racketeering charges and how his prison sentence was reduced because he had chosen to cooperate with authorities.
While this isn’t the first time Fat Joe has shared his thoughts about the matter, it was perhaps one of the most brutal conversations he’s had while touching on his thoughts about 6ix9ine today. “This show gonna get me in trouble,” Joe said, before slamming his fellow New York rapper in saying, “I’m gonna just be honest with you — this n***a’s a sucka. He’s a p***y, a sucka, a b***h. I’m dead sober. This dude here. This type of shit this n***a doing, I’m convinced he wants to die — and I don’t wish it on him or nothing like that — but I’m convinced he’s miserable in his body. He can’t look in the mirror.”
Joe, whose real name is Joseph Cartagena, clarified why he felt so strongly about his not-so-nice stance on the 26-year-old, stressing that he didn’t appreciate it when 6ix9ine presented himself as being a gangster but as soon as he found himself facing a heap of serious charges, that persona disappeared, and he was willing to “snitch” to avoid a lengthy stint in prison. “Now, the man snitched. Cool. Do you, whatever. I don’t like the taunting. I don’t know if he really did it. I didn’t know what was going on. The crazy s**t is when I talked to him in that interview, I talked to him off the air and he lied to me and told me, ‘Yo this is just an image. I’m frontin.’”
The Hold You Down hitmaker continued, “He told me that in front of [former manager and Nine Trey Gangsta Blood] Shotti and them n****s. They was standing right there with him. ‘Yo Joe, I’m not really doing this. I’m not a gangster. This is all for promotion.’”
6ix9ine was released from prison in April 2020, serving 17 months after being found guilty of racketeering charges with his former Nine Trey Bloods gang, to which he later admitted making financial contributions to. TMZ reported at the time that 6ix9ine had been given an earlier release date from his upstate New York prison after his legal team expressed how their client feared he would catch Covid-19 since he has an asthma health condition.
The controversial YAYA star was first arrested in November 2018 and was looking at 47 years in prison until he came to an agreement to comply with prosecutors, which reduced his sentencing to less than two years.
