Before You Go

Joe made sure to hit up his own social media pages to acknowledge his special day. The Terror Squad leader even likened himself to the King of the Jungle.

“August 19th A King was born. I have endured anything and everything they have thrown at me and handled it like a real man. I am Puerto Rican and Cuban of African descent. The blood of a King runs through my veins. I fear God and nothing else. I give more than I receive, I am always humble thinking of others that are less fortunate, sometimes more than myself. I’m far from perfect but I’m always learning as I grow. My God, my family, my friends & my fans are all that I have & need on this earth. Please pray for me on this day as I pray for you all every day. Always remember in the words of the great FAT JOE, Let your darkest moments bring your most clarity! I love you all & thank you God for another year of life ??????????????” -Fat Joe’s Instagram
