Recently, during a discussion in Miami with podcast veterans Rashad Bilal and Troy Millings of Earn Your Leisure during the Art Basel festival, Fat Joe talked about a friend stealing money from him, and the friend was removed from his crew. Sadly, during the funeral of a longtime friend, Terror Squad member Raul Conde, earlier this month, Joe stated that while speaking at the occasion, he spotted the friend he wrongly accused of stealing from him and quickly, in front of everyone, apologized to him.
In a video posted by The Hip Hop Wolf on Instagram, Joe talked about the moment he noticed that friend, whom he admits to not speaking to for seven years, in the audience as he spoke at the funeral. He says, “In the middle of the speech, I said, ‘Yo, I’m sorry, brother. I accused you of something that you didn’t do. I’m sorry.’ But Fat Joe goes and humbles himself, in front of everybody. I said I’m sorry, I did you wrong, I’m sorry.”
Joe says that people acknowledged what he did after the funeral as he was genuinely apologetic.
During the conversation with the podcast hosts earlier this month, Joe said, “I got my heart broken so many times. I had a best friend, the man was with me every single day for 25 years. I would have died for this person. Or allegedly killed somebody for this person. If Fat Joe bought a Lamborghini, I bought him a Lamborghini. If I bought anything, he had anything.”
After getting a “forensic accountant,” the theft was discovered, and that’s when Joe found out.
“So when I go through the taxes, there’s something called a forensic accountant,” Fat Joe recalled. “We looking at everything, and my new accountant looks at me and he [bowed his head]. It says here your best friend is stealing your money and it goes back years. He’s paying his kids’ school, buying his cars with your accounts. We shared accounts where he could just go in my account and get whatever he want.”
During the most recent interview, he did not explain if this was the same person he apologized to.
