In a startling turn of events, Fat Joe is facing serious allegations in a $20 million lawsuit filed by his former hype man, Terrance “T.A.” Dixon. Among the most shocking claims is that Fat Joe allegedly “ordered a hit” on fellow rapper 50 Cent during their notorious feud in the mid-2000s. According to the lawsuit, which has gained traction on social media, the incident reportedly occurred around 2006 or 2007 when tensions between the two rappers were at an all-time high.
The lawsuit alleges that Fat Joe had knowledge of 50 Cent’s whereabouts at a New York venue and initiated a plan to have him killed. However, the plot was purportedly abandoned when the would-be assailants noticed the extensive security detail surrounding 50 Cent. The filing states, “[Fat Joe] engaged in a calculated and premeditated conspiracy to murder rapper Curtis Jackson,” but the alleged attackers were deterred by the formidable security presence.
Dixon’s accusations extend beyond this explosive claim. He also alleges that Fat Joe admitted to “placing a bag on 50 Cent’s head” and expressed a long-standing desire to harm him. Additionally, the lawsuit includes allegations of financial fraud, intimidation, sexual manipulation, and coercion involving inappropriate acts with minors.
Fat Joe has vehemently denied all allegations against him through his attorney, Joe Tacopina, who labeled the claims as “complete fabrications” and an attempt to extort money. Tacopina emphasized that they would not be intimidated and are pursuing legal action to expose what they describe as a fraudulent scheme aimed at damaging Fat Joe’s reputation.
This lawsuit is not the first legal entanglement between Fat Joe and Dixon; the rapper previously sued Dixon for defamation after he made allegations regarding Fat Joe’s alleged involvement with minors.
Despite their tumultuous past, Fat Joe and 50 Cent have seemingly reconciled in recent years, with the two artists maintaining a friendly relationship. As the lawsuit progresses, it remains to be seen how these allegations will impact their current dynamic and whether either party will address the claims publicly.
