Fat Joe Explains Why He Didn't Go To Big Pun's Street-Naming Ceremony

by Daryl Nelson

Big Pun was honored last week by having a street named after him, which is located in The Bronx, on the corner of East Fordham Road and the Grand Concourse.

But Fat Joe, who discovered the late rapper, wasn't there and he explained why.

"If you don't have good things to say about somebody, I rather you not say it," said the "Lean Back" rapper. "So me, I could not go over there because there were people over there that I just ain't feeling, and I ain't never gonna feel. So when everybody DMs me or says your little thing and the whole Terror Squad, I will never stand besides these people ever in life."

Joe has gotten into it with Pun's widow in the past over money. He's also had problems with people in his former Terror Squad crew, like Cuban Link. 

"When you slander me and you slander my word and make me look crazy for two decades in the hood, I cannot stand next to you...I'm never standing next to you," Joe explained. "My kids is never standing next to your kids, nobody's standing next to nobody."

What do you think about Joe staying away from the street-naming ceremony?
