Fat Joe tells Math Hoffa that 2024 might be the worst year in hip-hop history: ‘This is the worst time to be a celebrity in the history of mankind.’If you thought 2024 was a subpar year, you’re not alone. Fat Joe thinks it might actually have been one of the worst years on record, at least for celebrities. Appearing on an episode of Math Hoffa’s My Expert Opinion podcast this week, the rap legend said he’s got a long list of reasons why 2024 has been a terrible year to be famous.
“I woke up [in] 2024 feeling like […] it’s been a horrible year,” said Joe. “I was just having a heated discussion with my people [about it]. This might be the worst year ever in hip-hop history type s—t. This s—t bad. All our legends, all our mentors getting scrutinized. This is the worst time to be a celebrity in the history of mankind. I’m not sure you guys wanna be celebrities.”
“I got friends who are filthy rich that wanna be popping and wanna be a celebrity,” he explained. “I don’t think they want everybody in they s—t like that. This s—t crazy out here. This is nuts. The f—ing world done changed on me.”
Joe also included the recent drama between his longtime friend Remy Ma and her estranged husband Papoose on his list of things that made 2024 a bad year. A close friend and collaborator of Remy’s, Joe explained why he feels he can’t get involved, even as the godfather of the couple’s six-year-old daughter.“It’s a hard situation,” he said. “It’s a different type of thing when you got a husband. […] Nobody comes to my house and tells my wife s—t. This is your husband. I can’t get in the middle of that.”
Papoose recently spoke out in response to Fat Joe’s comments, which had some fans speculating that perhaps the couple’s issues weren’t as serious as initially suspected. “Peace to my brother Fat Joe; I think y’all misunderstood his interview.”
