Fat Joe called James Harden “a loser” after Jadakiss compared rising Spurs guard Dylan Harper to the former NBA MVP.
The rant came on a recent episode of Joe and Jada, as the two rap veterans discussed Harper, the son of five-time NBA champion Ron Harper, and his potential alongside Victor Wembanyama in San Antonio.
“Don’t call him James Harden. Don’t do that. FOH. James Harden is at the strip club. He ain’t no winner. This kid gonna win chips. FOH. Don’t ever call Dylan Harper, James Harden,” Joe said.

Then Joe doubled down.
“James Harden is a LOSER guys, if you don’t understand he’s a f—-n loser. James Harden is a loser. He’s a cancer, he’ll mess up your whole team!”
Jadakiss pushed back by chiming in that Harden has “the numbers,” a point most basketball fans would recognize. Harden has an MVP award, scoring titles and one of the most productive offensive résumés of his era. What he does not have is a championship.
“He’s probably the last player in the NBA to be part of that individual achievement s–t,” said Fat Joe.
