Don’t ask me why.”He continued: “When I look at my son Joey and he’s autistic, he’s the don of the family. I have to tell myself, ‘What did I do?'”Fat Joe shuts down Illuminati rumors: "[I've] had to work for this sh-t" https://t.co/3Yh0bOWXIA pic.twitter.com/PS7B9htGe1— HipHopDX (@HipHopDX) October 23, 2023Fat Joe added” “I’ve met everybody, I’ve never met the Illuminati.

So now what my theory is is you got people who’re frustrated with seeing other people being successful, and they make up this thing called Illuminati.”Elsewhere in the video, Joe said: “Some people start makin’ excuses and sayin’, ‘Yoo, they livin’ like that ’cause they did this, they Illuminati, they signed with a cult, they did this’.“‘Cause you gotta be part of some shit because you rich, you gotta be part of some shit ’cause you got famous, you gotta be part of some sh*t because ‘there’s no way, I’ve tried everything.'”The rumours could have sparked after, in February of this year, the ‘Lean Back’ rapper made a joke about the secret society in an Instagram caption, telling N.O.R.E: “Welcome to the Illuminati.”A post shared by FAT JOE (@fatjoe)Other rappers have spoken about the Illuminati recently.
