Fat Joe Says Nobody From LA 'Dominated The Paint' Like Kendrick Lamar
Fat Joe gave Kendrick Lamar high praise for his dominant year in a conversation with Jadakiss. Speaking on the premiere episode of their new collaborative Joe & Jada podcast, the two rappers reflected on the year since Kendrick Lamar and Drake's rap feud erupted.
'One year since the Kendrick and Drake discrepancy. What they like to call it 'beef' in the media world, since we in media now,' exclaimed Jadakiss. 'Personally, I thought it was about four or five months ago. I can't believe it's already been a year.'
'How is it a year?' Fat Joe responded. 'But what I can tell you is, boy, that Kendrick Lamar gets some spins on LA radio.' Jada assured that all Los Angeles artists get spins in their hometown, however, Fat Joe had more to say about the Grammy-winner's dominance.
'I was there last week… I've never seen nothing like this,' Fat Joe continued to elaborate. 'Every single song, 'Turn the TV off…' Kendrick Lamar gets played nine out of every 10 songs in L.A. right now. Not even Snoop Dogg, not even Tupac Shakur — nobody from L.A. has dominated the paint like this guy… this last year. If you're from L.A., you work at Target, Amazon, you delivering some sh*t… you thinking there's one man breathing in Hip-Hop. It's called Kendrick Lamar. I'm just keeping it a buck with you.'
Jadakiss agreed, 'He had a helluva year.'
The two East Coast Hip-Hop vets launched Joe & Jada to provide commentary on music, sports, and culture. Joe & Jada promises two weekly episodes and is presented by Boost Mobile and produced by The Volume and Roc Nation.
'My brother Jadakiss and I will be delivering a podcast experience like none other,' Fat Joe said. 'We're both passionate and opinionated about music, sports, entertainment, and culture, so you can definitely expect to get unfiltered analysis, versatile interviews, and untold stories. We're coming to shake up the podcast game and set a new blueprint.'
'I'm looking forward to teaming up with Joe on this podcast and showing another side of my personality,' added Jadakiss. 'We've been friends for a long time, so we have the right chemistry and foundation to make this a really special show. Everyone is finally going to get to hear what we debate and discuss all the time behind the scenes.'

Olivia Rodrigo's Airport Outfit Keeps This It-Sneaker's Style Streak Alive
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. No sneaker has dominated celebrity street style scene quite like the Adidas Samba's streak in 2022. But if you assumed it's been fully replaced by the Tokyo or the Taekwondo, think again: The sleek, retro-inspired Adidas silhouette has only gotten more popular. In the past year alone, Anne Hathaway, Zoë Kravitz, Kendall Jenner, Kaia Gerber, and Olivia Rodrigo have boarded the Samba bandwagon—none for the first time. Most recently, on June 2, Rodrigo proved they're still a staple in her airport attire. Bright and early on Monday morning, the Grammy winner was snapped at New York's JFK airport. She attempted to maintain a low profile with a mask and a baseball cap, but her signature shoes gave her away. Always on board for a graphic tee, she started her OOTD with a Frank Sinatra T-shirt—a fitting selection for her return to NYC. She tucked it into wide-leg jeans in a mid-wash finish, then tied a dark sweatshirt around her waist. Like other Samba-loving celebs, Rodrigo owns multiple versions of the frequently sold-out shoe (including the EmRata-approved white-and-green option). For her latest airport outfit, the "vampire" singer chose her tried-and-true color-way: black with white stripes. View Deal Rodrigo didn't carry any luggage in her paparazzi pics. She did, however, sport a travel-friendly tote. Her personal item seemed to fit all her essentials, and then some. Plus, it tapped into the zeitgeist's animal print renaissance. Instead of following Jennifer Lawrence's lead with a leopard-print piece, though, Rodrigo went the zebra route. If you're a hardcore Livie, you know Rodrigo is one of the Sambas' OG supporters. Whether she's out in New York, London, or L.A., these former soccer shoes have earned a permanent spot in her suitcase. To no surprise, she's even worn them at the airport before. Back in November 2023, she chose the same black-and-white pair at JFK airport. Dressed in a Uniqlo trench coat, black trousers, and a matching sweater, her travel look leaned more elevated than her latest OOTD. A cute baseball cap still finished her 'fit. Finding an airport-proof pair of shoes is a difficult task, but thankfully, Rodrigo has done the work for you. Anyone prepping for a vacation this summer should make sure to save room on their packing list for the superstar's exact Sambas.

It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so much. Similar and worse.' She continued, 'I'm getting to keep my nipples, that's good. It's a weird topic and a weird situation. And I know the press are going to say crazy stuff but you know what, to get diagnosed with this as I'm putting out a song called 'No Secrets' right before a song called 'Living My Best Life,' which was all pre-planned before I found out about this, I mean you can't make it up.'
