Yesterday Fat Joe, Remy Ma, Spliff Star, BIA and Busta Rhymes performed on ABC’s “Good Morning America” in Central Park in New York City. It was a cool performance, but we here at Media take Out couldn’t help but notice … that Fat Joe isn’t FAT anymore.
Yeah, he’s a little stocky. But by 2023 standards, he’s NOT fat.
Fat Joe has been on a weight loss journey for more than a decade, ever since his close friend and hip hop partner Bug Pun died from complications with obesity.
It looks like Joe may have finally turned the corner on his weight struggles.
