Fat Joe Hired Hitman to Kill 50 Cent in New York City
Fat Joe allegedly hired someone to kill 50 Cent around 2006-2007.
The “In Da Club” artist set the post to the tune of “Prices On My Head” by Young Buck. Fat Joe responded to his industry friend in the comments by leaving a “100” emoji.
In legal documents filed by Dixon, a former employee of Fat Joe, he explained the rapper’s plot to kill 50 Cent.
“Around the winter of 2006-2007, Defendant Cartagena was residing in Miami when he received a call reporting 50 Cent’s presence at a New York venue. Defendant Cartagena ordered the hit, but 50 Cent was surrounded by ‘Navy Seal’ type security, and the would-be assassins were afraid to make the attempt,” the claim read.

Fat Joe Forced 16-Year-Old Into Oral S--
Terrance Dixon claimed Fat Joe made him engage in more than 4,000 s--ual acts.
He claimed that Fat Joe “coerced” him into more than 4,000 sexual acts to maintain his standing within the industry.
Dixon alleged he “personally witnessed” the 54-year-old take part in “sexual relations with children who were fifteen and sixteen years old.”
The former employee said Fat Joe demanded oral s-- from a 16-year-old girl in New York “in exchange for cash, clothing and payment of her cell phone bill.”
Fat Joe was also accused of buying a 15-year-old a Brazilian butt lift. The legal document alleged that the victim is now married to a professional athlete.
Fat Joe Was 'in Love' With Alleged Victim
Fat Joe was accused of almost leaving his wife for a minor.
Furthermore, Dixon claimed that his former boss was “in love” with a third victim, whom he “contemplated leaving his wife” for.
Dixon went on to accuse Fat Joe of engaging “in deliberate tax fraud schemes” to hide his real income.
The former employee’s lawsuit comes after the rapper filed his own lawsuit against Dixon in April, claiming he was making slanderous remarks about him being a pedophile.
