"This is the worst time to be a celebrity in the history of mankind," Joe declared, pointing to various issues affecting the hip-hop community. He specifically noted the scrutiny facing industry legends and mentors, suggesting that the current climate has made celebrity status less desirable than ever before.

The rapper highlighted how even wealthy individuals who aspire to fame might want to reconsider, given the intense public scrutiny celebrities face today. "I got friends who are filthy rich that wanna be popping and wanna be a celebrity. I don't think they want everybody in they shit like that," he explained.

Addressing personal matters, Joe also discussed the ongoing situation between his friends Remy Ma and Papoose. As godfather to their daughter, he acknowledged the delicacy of the situation, stating, "It's a hard situation... I can't get in the middle of that."

In response to Joe's comments, Papoose later clarified, "Peace to my brother Fat Joe; I think y'all misunderstood his interview," suggesting that some of the public interpretation of the situation might have been misconstrued.
