Fat Joe Says He Gave The Rights To Big Pun's Music Back; Family Disputes Part Of That

by HHL JT

Fat Joe was feeling a bit defensive when asked about what's going on with the rights to Big Pun's music.

Here's what he said on Drink Champs.

"Fat Joe created Big Pun. I don't give a f*ck what type of smoke, steroid, dust you on. Fat Joe invented Big Pun," he argued. "I discovered him, I got him every producer, I got every rapper, I dressed him better than me, I bought him bigger chains than me. If I spent $200,000 on my video, I spent half a million on Pun's. I did that."

Then Joe brought up Diddy and Biggie.

"He passed away, I did something nobody ever did. And I'm not trying to be disrespectful, but I don't think Puff Daddy gave the rights to Biggie back. I don't think they gave the rights to 2Pac back," Joe added. "You say Fat Joe's jerking you? Take everything. To the family, take everything, not a problem, everybody got whatever they want. Get everything. Fat Joe doesn't own a dollar, I don't have nothing to do with Big Pun."

There have been bad feelings between Fat Joe and Big Pun's family for a while now and for that reason, Joe didn't go to Pun's recent street naming ceremony in their hometown of The Bronx.

Pun's family reacted to Joe's took of "giving" them the rights to Pun's music, by explaining he was forced to.

"He never gave it back.  We won." read a comment from Pun's kin. "Federal Court in NYC. The Judge gave us the rights in 2017. It's all public record."
