A new lawsuit against Fat Joe (real name Joseph Cartagena) claims that at one time the rapper put a hit out on Fif.  

However, the beef between rappers 50 Cent and Joey Crack is done. In fact, the two men not only quelled the past feud but are “friends,” having shown up seated next to each other at New York Knicks playoff games

As for the legal drama, as previously reported, Joe’s former hypeman Terrance “T.A.” Dixon filed the lawsuit accusing the “Lean Back” rapper of “coercive labor exploitation, financial fraud, sexual manipulation, violent intimidation, and psychological coercion.”

The court filing also claimed that in the early 2000s during the feud between Joe and the “Candy Shop” rapper, the former plotted to kill 50. 

The filing claims: “[Fat Joe] engaged in a calculated and premeditated conspiracy to murder rapper Curtis Jackson. But 50 Cent was surrounded by ‘Navy Seal’ type security, and the would-be assassins were afraid to make the attempt.”

50 took to Instagram to deny claims.

“These baseless, accusations and claims are not credible,” he wrote.  “I’m sorry Joe has to endure the public scrutiny and damage to his reputation. THIS A STICK UP ! I wrote this hook I should a kept this one.”

Joe posted a “100” emoji under 50’s post. 

This isn’t the first time that Joe’s name has been attached to deadly rumors. In 2021, during a spicy interview during Fat Joe’s “The BIG BIG show” on his Instagram Live, Hot 97 radio host Ebro was told that he almost ended up in the infamous Terror Squad van. The Terror Squad van became known years earlier after DJ Whoo Kid claimed that he was dragged into the van by Big Pun and threatened with an uzi for playing an unreleased Terror Squad song that could’ve gotten them in trouble with the Latin Kings. 

But the alleged hit on 50 isn’t even the most damning allegation in the lawsuit which also accuses Joe of having sex with underage girls. Dixon claims he “personally witnessed [Fat Joe] engage in sexual relations with children who were fifteen and sixteen years old”.

Joe’s former hypeman claims that Joe had a 16-year-old girl perform sexual acts “in exchange for cash, clothing, and payment of her cell phone bill.”

“[Fat Joe] began having sexual relations with Minor Doe 2 when she was 15 years old after a concert overseas,” the lawsuit claims. “Defendant flew Minor Doe 2 to New York City and Miami, Florida, on multiple occasions. Due to Minor Doe 2’s body being adolescent and not fully formed, Defendant paid for her to get a Brazilian Butt Lift. Minor Doe 2 eventually left Defendant and is now married to a professional athlete.”

Dixon also says Joe “orchestrated repeated orgies involving Plaintiff, female dancers and minors.”

Joe denies all of the claims and has hired A$AP Rock’y lawyer, Joe Tacopina, who issued a statement calling the accusations nothing more than retaliation and a money grab.
