When the G.O.A.T. called, I felt so honored and I was like ‘yo, f**k it, let me hear some beats!.’ Em said you know Joe, you are one of the last ones left. You are making better music now than ever. You can not retire. You can not leave us.” – says Fat JoeAs he previously said, Fat Joe had the chance to sign the Eminem back in the days but passed several times, calling it the “biggest mistake of my whole rap career.” You can watch the interview below: RELATED ARTICLESBlack Child Speaks on Eminem and 50 Cent’s Beef with Ja Rule and Murder Inc.March 15, 2026Eminem’s “Without Me” Hits 3 Billion Streams on SpotifyMarch 14, 2026Tom MacDonald mentions Eminem in 3 songs off his new albumMarch 14, 202650 Cent drops unreleased song, teases new album titleMarch 13, 2026Papoose name-drops Eminem again in a new 50 Cent dissMarch 12, 2026Eminem and Shade 45 mourn the death of Lord SearMarch 12, 2026Share this: Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit Share on Threads (Opens in new window) Threads Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window) WhatsApp Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window) Tumblr Share on Telegram (Opens in new window) Telegram Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window) LinkedIn 2020EminemFat JoeNew Interview
