Rapper Fat Joe Slammed For Sex And Falling In Love With A Minor

The ghosts of Fat Joe's alleged messy past are coming back to haunt him through a familiar channel!

A former staff member of the rapper has accused him of engaging in illicit activity with teenage girls while they worked together.

Fat Joe's camp has vehemently denied the allegations and accuses his former staff of being vindictive in this regard, simply because the rapper had previously sued them.

The rapper's former hype man, Terrance T.A. Dixon, filed a lawsuit on Thursday stating that there were at least two underage females with whom Joe had sexual relations, and another with whom he allegedly fell in love. 

In the documents, Dixon's lawyer, Tyrone A. Blackburn, noted that a 16-year-old girl of Dominican descent once offered to perform oral and other sexual acts on Joe in exchange for money, clothes, and cell phone bill payments.

Dixon even alleges that Joe entered into a sexual affair with a 15-year-old Caucasian girl after meeting with her at a concert abroad. According to him, Joe had regularly flown her to New York and Miami and paid for a BBL because her body was not fully developed.

Dixon added that the girl in question is now married to a professional athlete. In the lawsuit, Dixon alleges that Fat Joe also fell in love with a Latina, and a sexual relationship started between them at just 15 years old.

Joe reportedly sorted out all her financial commitments and had taken her abroad while he was performing on tours. He even got her into a condo close to where he and his wife lived in Florida and had reportedly considered leaving his wife to move in with her.

According to Dixon, Joe has a sticky predilection for underage females, as he had sung about in his track "She Loves My Mama."

The former hype man continued that Joe also involved him in his shenanigans by forcing him to have sex with women after his concerts. At the time, these acts happened in front of other people. 

As reported by TMZ, Dixon added that Joe underpaid him as a music collaborator, did not give him songwriting rights, and hid royalties and backend settlements.

Reacting to the damning accusations leveled against the rapper by his ex-employee, his lawyer, Joe Tacopina, clarified that the claims were false. In his words, Dixon was merely trying to get his pound of flesh, and his lawsuit was a reactionary move to Joe's lawsuit against him. 

Describing it as "lies intended to damage his reputation and force a settlement through public pressure," Tacopina added that the police were fully aware of his extortionate demands from the rapper.

In April, Joe headed to court to name-drop Dixon in a defamation lawsuit after he first came out with his pedophilia allegations against Joe publicly.

Joe's lawsuit explained that Dixon got a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity when he began walking for the rapper in 2006. Their partnership reportedly ended amicably in 2019, until six years later, when Dixon began making slanderous accusations against Joe.

This is not Joe's first rodeo with lawsuits and Lego processes. In 2013, the rapper was sentenced to four months in prison by U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman for failing to file tax returns with the IRS, resulting in tax debts. 

As seen on the DOJ New Jersey's site, Joe, whose real name is Joseph Cartagena, had already pleaded guilty before U.S. Magistrate Judge Cathy L. Waldor to Counts One and Two of a four-count information, for failing to file tax returns for the 2007-2010 tax years. 

The two counts relate to tax years 2007 and 2008. In terms of the plea agreement, however, all four years, including 2009 and 2010, were combined as a loss on tax during sentencing. In his 2013 case, according to the documents brought to court, there are statements that:

Joe received payment for musical performances and got royalties on the sales of his music. Such monies were obtained in three ways from Terror Squad Production Inc. (Terror Squad), Miramar Music Touring Inc. (Miramar), and FJTS Corp.

Cartagena acknowledged that his gross income in 2007 exceeded $1.18 million, in 2008 exceeded $1.28 million, in 2009 exceeded $265,000, and in 2010 exceeded $630,000. The sum of the tax loss calculated by the government then amounted to $718,038.

Judge Waldor, alongside Joe's four-month sentence, ordered him to stay on supervised release for one year and pay a fine of $ 15,000. He was expected to check in by August 26, 2013, and begin serving his term in jail.

In 2023, the rapper made a drastic move by shedding a massive 200 pounds. While he had a brief stint of depression, Joe believes his decision to adopt a healthy lifestyle changed his life for good.

The process also ushered him into a new era of discovering himself, especially as he had to deal with the crushing blow of his best friend's death. He felt an epiphany when he attended his bestie, Big Pun's, funeral. The rapper said:

"I went to his funeral, and I felt like Ebenezer Scrooge. Like, I seen me, and I'm looking at his little daughter. She was the same age as my daughter. I said, 'You gotta lose weight; otherwise, you outta here.'"

Before the wheels of stardom chose him, the New York native experienced a gloomy childhood with various episodes of bullying and betrayal. In a 2022 report, The Blast shared that the rapper recalled being bullied every day as a junior high student.

The experience changed him forever, transforming him into a different person.Since the age of 2, the rapper noted that he was tagged "Fat Joey," and it stuck.

"You know, I'm not gonna lie, it's scary looking out the classroom window knowing that there are 20 guys waiting to beat my ass," Joe noted, adding that they never fought fair, as they would always jump him.

Joe added that his best friend was also forced to join them at some point, and after a while, he left him to his fate.

What fate awaits Fat Joe in court with these allegations?
