Music Icon, 54, Admits to ‘Problem' While Drinking 30-40 Pepsi's Daily
Music Icon, 54, Admits to 'Problem' While Drinking 30-40 Pepsi's Daily originally appeared on Parade. If Diet Pepsi only has one fan, it's Fat Joe because the rapper drinks '30 to 40' of the beverages daily. 'And I don't know how safe that is. I'm not a doctor. I don't give a f--k. I drink too many Diet Pepsi, a lot, you know what I'm saying?' Fat Joe, 54, confessed during the Tuesday, July 22, episode of the 'Joe and Jada' podcast. 'Very, very much – I got a problem. [I drink] 30, 40 a day.' The 'Lean Back' artist's confession visibly shocked his co-host, rapper Jadakiss. Nonetheless, Fat Joe stood ten toes down on his love for Diet Pepsi. 'If I went to the doctor, God forbid, and they told me, 'Yo, you have a problem due to Diet Pepsi.' I gotta take the shit on the chin,' he continued. 'I gotta just be like. I knew I was just doing too much with them Diet Pepsis, right? They're not stopping me.' Fat Joe served four months in prison on tax evasion charges in 2013. While incarcerated, his Diet Pepsi fix was not neglected. 'I was in jail with 11,000 Diet Pepsis. Imagine you in jail. You can't have nothing else, but Diet Pepsis are legal,' he said. 'Holy s--t, that's like you were cigarettes.' Complex shared a clip of the moment via Instagram the following day, sparking concern over the 'What's Luv' rapper's health. 'I love sodas but that's too many friend!' one fan wrote in the comments section of the post. A second person commented, 'I don't drink that much water a day let alone soda.' Fat Joe has lost over 250 pounds over the years while trying to live a healthier lifestyle. 'We just try to eat everything with the least carbs as possible … so we try to stay away from the bread, the pasta, the rice. That's the smartest way to eat,' the Grammy-nominated rapper told Us Weekly in October 2021, while admitting to taking Ozempic to help stay on track. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 Music Icon, 54, Admits to 'Problem' While Drinking 30-40 Pepsi's Daily first appeared on Parade on Jul 23, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 23, 2025, where it first appeared.

Tuesday's (July 22) episode of Joe and Jada found Fat Joe expressing genuine concern for N.O.R.E.'s health before delving into his own battles, which led to him opening up about the staggering number of canned sodas he's downing every day.

I gotta be like, 'I knew I was doing too much with them Diet Pepsis.' Even if a doctor advised him to kick his diet soda habit, Joe wouldn't let it stop him. 'They're not stopping me,' he said. 'I was in jail with a thousand Diet Pepsis.' Fans on social media couldn't believe Joe's soda intake numbers. 'Fat Joe said he drinks 30-40 Diet Pepsi a day. I call bulls–t cause ain't no way man,' one person wrote to X. Another added, 'Fat joe said he drink 30-40 diet pepsi's a day wallahi that brother gotta change his life!'

Soulja Boy & Bow Wow Return to SeaWorld & Perform the Hits
Soulja Boy and Bow Wow made their triumphant return to SeaWorld. A year after a viral performance at the same sea-centric facility, the two rappers went back down to Southern California for a July 12 show at SeaWorld San Diego's 2025 Summer Spectacular Concert Series, where they performed songs like 'Donk,' 'Pretty Boy Swag,' 'Crank That (Soulja Boy),' and 'Use Me' in front of an energetic crowd. Watch a clip from the performance below.

And they aren't the only acts that are touching that SeaWorld stage. Every Saturday from June 21 to August 23, numerous rap, hip-hop and R&B artists are set to perform. Names like Fat Joe, Waka Flocka Flame, Trina, and Ginuwine will all be making appearances. The concert series will also double as a tour stop for the I Love the 90s Tour and The Turn Up Tour where Color Me Badd, Rob Base, Treach of Naughty by Nature, Young MC, Petey Pablo, Paul Wall, J-Kwon, and Bubba Sparxxx will also be performing. The two teenage stars had a falling out after Soulja Boy made a video in 2008 saying that Nas killed hip-hop a couple years after the legendary Queens rapper released his eighth solo album Hip-Hop Is Dead. 'The n—a who killed hip-hop for real, is Nas. He came out publicly and said, 'hip-hop is dead,'' Soulja Boy explained in the video. 'And after that, everybody started saying hip-hop is dead. If Nas would've never said 'hip-hop is dead,' then motherf–kers would've never thought it had died.' Bow Wow publicly distanced himself from Soulja's comments and the two would continue to go back and forth until they squashed their beef around 2016 when they released the joint mixtape Ignorant Sh—t.

Jadakiss Reacts to Drake's ‘What Did I Miss?': ‘They Flip on You … That's the Game We In'
Jadakiss has some news for Drake. During a recent episode of his Joe and Jada podcast with Fat Joe, the two legends talked about the Toronto rapper's latest single 'What Did I Miss?,' in which he speaks on the relationships that have changed since he got into a historic battle with Kendrick Lamar.

'They flip on you emphatically. … They flip. … Rappers, the game, executives, everybody you could think of, store owners. Yeah, they f—ing flip. That's part of this. That's the game we in.' Joe added, 'I didn't understand that sh–.' Prior to Jada's commentary, Joe said he enjoyed the track and mentioned Drake being tied with Michael Jackson for fourth place on the most Billboard Hot 100 No. 1s list with 13 apiece. 'I felt like the new track was really dope,' said Joe. 'I listened to it a couple of times and you know he's one No. 1 away from Michael Jackson's record [Editor's note: They're tied], and I think the soul of Michael Jackson is fighting that sh– 'cause every time he put out one you think it's going to take that joint, just it back down.' Crack and Kiss know a little something about rap beef. The two have had notable run-ins with the likes of Jay-Z and 50 Cent over the years, and have since reconciled with both of them, so there still might be hope for Drizzy and Dot to squash things eventually, if you know anything about the history of Joe and Jada's respective battles with Hov and Fif. There's no official release date for Drake's new album, but we know that its called Iceman and that it's coming soon. You can watch the full episode below.

Fat Joe Responds to Ex-Hypeman's Underage Sex Claims: ‘Disgusting Lies'
Fat Joe has officially responded to a salacious lawsuit filed by his ex-hypeman that accuses him of pedophilia, forced labor and sex trafficking, taking to Instagram to deny the claims and reassure fans. The post on Wednesday (June 25) is Fat Joe's first personal statement since he was sued last week by Terrance 'T.A.' Dixon, who accused the rapper of running a wide-ranging racketeering enterprise in which he trafficked underage girls for sex and subjected his employees to abusive working conditions. Fat Joe's attorneys have vehemently denied the claims and already have a pending counter-lawsuit accusing Dixon and his lawyer, Tyrone Blackburn, of extortion. More from Billboard Lawyer for Fat Joe's Ex-Hypeman Arrested After Allegedly Hitting Rapper's Process Server With Car Chris Brown Pleads Not Guilty to Assault Charges Over London Nightclub Fight Trump Extends TikTok Ban Deadline for a Third Time 'I've been tested the last few months — I've lost my big brother, my father, my mother and now I'm fighting against these disgusting lies,' wrote Fat Joe in the Instagram post. 'But please know I will not break and I will NEVER back down.' The rapper's statement echoes his attorneys' allegations that Dixon fabricated the claims in pursuit of a payday. 'They figure they can make up the most insane stories and, if they threaten you with a lawsuit, then you'll pay and they'll feel like they finally won,' he continued in the post. 'Problem with your theory,' he added, 'I've never let anyone on the streets extort me, so how would I ever let a crooked attorney and a coward ex-hype man extort me?? I'm from the Bronx!' Fat Joe's statement concludes by taking a dig directly at Blackburn: 'Since you want the clout, we will finish you in court. The time of lawyers using their law license as a badge to extort people and destroy families with no evidence is over!! I'm not the one!! You've messed with the wrong one this time!' The statement arrived the same day as another strange twist in the dispute, after Blackburn was arrested Wednesday morning and charged with assault for allegedly running over Fat Joe's process server with his car last month. Blackburn has pled not guilty to the charges, and his defense lawyer told Billboard the case seems to be 'at the very least…a misunderstanding or an accident, and at the most an attempt to extort some money out of my client.'
