In a recent interview on the @theartofdialogue Instagram page, Lance “Un” Rivera has publicly challenged Fat Joe’s assertion that he was working on a joint album with the late Biggie Smalls. Rivera stated, “Fat Joe is my guy, and I see why they’re running with —Fat Joe is the king of Cap.” He emphasized that if there had been an actual album in the works, he would have been aware of it.
Rivera further elaborated that when Biggie was at Daddy’s House studio, the chances of him laying down a verse were often influenced by his mood or the amount of money a person had to offer. He recalled, “Big would say, ‘How much weed you got on you?'” This context adds a layer of insight into the creative process surrounding Biggie and the collaborative atmosphere of the time.
Despite his respect for Fat Joe, Rivera felt compelled to call out the claims, stating, “I hate to do this to my guy Fat Joe, but I gotta call cap. Show me the receipts!” In a spirited response, Fat Joe commented back, “Tell ’em how your brother got caught with 50 keys and never did a day in jail,” adding fuel to the fire and making the exchange even more contentious.
As the debate unfolds, fans are left to wonder whether Rivera is telling the truth or if Fat Joe has been embellishing his hip hop stories over the years. The exchange highlights the complexities of hip hop history and the narratives that shape the genre.
