Are Fat Joe’s flowers and apologies enough?
Our SOHH Damage Scale says Fat Joe’s approaching disaster with his “dusty crackhead bitches” comments aimed at recording artists Lil Mo’, Vida and possibly Ashanti. Though Joe has apologized publicly on social media and even sent flowers, the “bitch” word has got black women heated. Can Joe right the wrong? Are flowers enough? The coming week will be critical for him to restore his credibility and respect with black women — especially after his subpar Verzuz performance.
