Regarding paying tribute to those who have improved Hip Hop over the last few decades, Fat Joe lately became one of the few individuals who have stood by Diddy during his legal troubles.

During an interview with Hot 97 in late March, the 53-year-old discussed his thoughts regarding the Bad Boys mogul’s deteriorating troubles.

He said, “I don’t know all the details, but I can say that with the utmost respect.” However, I’ve been sending prayers to him and his family. I’ve known him for thirty years. I’m going to wait and see what happens, and I’m hoping for the best for him, his family, and all parties concerned.
