Fat Joe Clarifies Statement on Lying About 95% of His Lyrics

Fat Joe went viral last week for stating that he lied about 95% of his lyrics while discussing Young Thug's lyrics being used in his YSL RICO trial. 

While speaking to Gayle King and Charles Barkley, Fat Joe stated, "I've been rapping professionally for 30 years — I've lied in almost 95 percent of my songs. I'm being honest. I write like I feel that day. I'm just being creative. You couldn't build a jail high enough for the lyrics I've said on songs which are all untrue."

Now, Fat Joe is clarifying his statement in light of people questioning his credibility as a rapper. During a conversation on Instagram, Fat Joe explained, "I had to say 95% of what I say is a lie so they could understand that it’s unfair to try some kids for the rest of their life with s*** they might’ve not done." 

Fat Joe went on to explain that a lot of songs don't contain truthful lyrics, but their inspiration comes from how the artist is feeling at the time. To hear more, hit the above clip.
