Fat Joe said the police tried to frame him for murder

As a gamer with a deep appreciation for the intersection of music and real-life narratives, I find myself captivated by the story of Fat Joe. Having grown up in the South Bronx, a neighborhood that mirrors the virtual warzones of many video games I’ve played, I can only imagine the challenges he faced daily.


Fat Joe didn’t gain his rap street cred solely within a music studio environment. Being raised in the South Bronx, one of America’s most notorious dangerous neighborhoods during his upbringing, it’s fair to assume he has some insights into the realities of the streets.

However, it doesn’t imply that he sought out a connection to a murder charge, but unfortunately, that’s the predicament he found himself in. In a recent conversation on the Club Shay Shay podcast hosted by Shannon Sharpe, Joe claimed that the police attempted to falsely implicate him.

He shared his account, saying, “I found myself in situations where the police attempted to implicate me for murder, not once, but three times. This is a genuine tale from my life. I rarely discuss it, but I was framed, and both the authorities and the public were trying to get rid of me.

Joe said, “I was as notorious as the most wanted, yet my community cherished me so they’d always shield me. Whenever police arrived, these elderly women would hide me in their homes, safeguarding me on numerous occasions.

Previously, Joe shared the story behind his intimidating street persona, tracing it back to his childhood years. The renowned “Lean Back” rapper reminisced about being bullied as a child and getting physically assaulted. A turning point came when one of his friends betrayed him by attacking him along with others. Joe mentioned that this event transformed his life completely, as he was prepared to confront any adversary head-on.

That pivotal moment reshaped my entire existence,” I admitted, “It marked the emergence of Joey Crack, not just Fat Joey anymore. It felt like a switch flipped… I didn’t care about anyone else… My heart turned cold, almost black. It was as if I was giving it all to everyone, and that’s where the legend of Joey Crack started.
