FAT JOE GETS AT 50


So 50 Cent played host on New York radio station Power 105.1 on Thursday and Friday and took time to play some music from Joe — only to talk over the record while insulting Joe. Papoose was on-air with 50 during one of the tirades.

On Friday in North Carolina, things escalated when a show promoter booked Joe and Pap for the same show. Both MCs, and their accompanying parties, came to blows.

"What happens in the streets stays in the streets," Pap told MTV reporters on Monday (March 3). "It was definitely an altercation. I stood tall. Yes, I invited [Joe] for a fair [one-on-one fight], he refused. Yes, I put my hands on him. That's all I'm saying."

Pap said a falling-out between Fat Joe and Pap's mentor DJ Kay Slay is at the heart of his problems with Joe.

"It goes back to the same thing," he said. "If you having problems with any of my people, you have a problem with me. I'm a loyal dude. Don't come at me sideways. I'm from Brooklyn. I consider myself to be the most hated MC. A lot of people don't wanna see me come up because of fear of losing their position. You can do your homework — I just keep coming with consistency."

If you believe the pictures of Fat Joe that have been floating around the Web the past couple of days, Papoose is set to be the next heavy weight fighter. Photos show Joe sporting two black eyes, a bandage and stitches.

"If I did get black eyes, why would I go to the Knicks game with black eyes?" said Joe, who performed Friday and has made a gaggle of personal appearances over the past few days. "C'mon, my n---a. I'm always OK."

On Monday night, Joe shot some video of himself without a scratch. In the clip, he's rapping, dancing and smiling. Again, he addressed the Papoose conflict, singling out 50 Cent.

"You in the Neverland Ranch over there in the house over there in Connecticut," he said of 50, blaming him personally for the doctored photos.


Help me understand why a man in his 30s has engaged in fist fighting. Isn't there a cap on this type of behavior?
