Fat Joe Criticizes Growing “Femininity” in Hip Hop Among Straight Rappers

In a recent Instagram Live stream, Hip Hop legend Fat Joe expressed his disapproval of the growing “femininity” among straight rappers in the industry. The 53-year-old made it clear that his criticism is not directed towards the LGBTQ+ community, but rather towards straight rappers who are adopting what he sees as feminine styles.

Fat Joe questioned whether this trend of straight rappers painting their nails, carrying Birkin bags, and wearing dresses would have been accepted during his era, the golden era of Hip Hop in the 90s. He emphasized that he has no issue with people being true to themselves, but he believes that this trend of femininity seems more like a style or a trend rather than an authentic expression of identity.

The Terror Squad boss also weighed in on the ongoing beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, expressing doubt that Kendrick will respond to Drake’s diss track. Additionally, Fat Joe mentioned the controversy surrounding Drake’s use of 2Pac’s voice in his song “Taylor Made Freestyle,” revealing that 2Pac’s estate is considering legal action against Drake for the unauthorized use.

Fat Joe’s candid comments on these hot topics in the Hip Hop community have sparked discussions and debates among fans and fellow artists. As a veteran in the industry, his perspective offers valuable insights into the evolution of Hip Hop and the changing dynamics within the genre.
