Fat Joe Gives Career Advice to 52-Year-Old Aspiring Rapper
Bronx rap icon, Fat Joe, known for his illustrious career in the music industry, is now opening the door to his treasure trove of wisdom. In a video recently posted on BET’s YouTube channel, the Terror Squad leader offered valuable advice to a 52-year-old aspiring rapper who still harbours dreams of hitting it big.
This middle-aged aspiring artist, who pursued higher education, established a career and built a family, sought Fat Joe’s guidance on breaking into the music industry. In response, Fat Joe didn’t mince words, delivering his advice with characteristic candour.
“Do me the biggest favour, and stay retired,” he bluntly advised.
Fat Joe didn’t stop there; he also provided counsel to various individuals facing unique challenges. He recounted a recent encounter with a man who appeared to be suffering from mental health issues while leaving a jewellery store. The man, dressed as Santa Claus in the middle of summer, confronted Fat Joe, clutching a wad of crumpled singles. The rapper exercised patience in dealing with the situation, recognizing the man’s possible struggle with schizophrenia.
Fat Joe also reflected on a past incident where his beef with JAY-Z and 50 Cent had a significant impact on his career. He shared that this feud led to him losing a lucrative sneaker deal with Reebok, emphasizing the importance of avoiding conflicts that could hinder opportunities and blessings.
In offering this advice, Fat Joe underscores the significance of maintaining a positive reputation and avoiding unnecessary conflicts in the fiercely competitive world of entertainment.
Fat Joe’s journey through the music industry has not only shaped his illustrious career but has also provided him with invaluable life lessons, which he now generously shares with those seeking guidance and success in their own endeavors.
