Earlier this week, we posted an interview with Big Pun’s estranged wife where she explained her horrible living conditions and less than livable income since the passing of her husband.  A lot of people came for Fat Joe and asked him why he would let this happen.  Well, Fat Joe went on Hot. 97 to set the record straight.

We commend Joe for keeping it real.  He told that b*tch, I’ll help you for now but you need to get your own hustle.  You ain’t gonna disrespect my dude and expect to live off his legacy, game recognize game. So now who’s willing to give this chick a coke and smile so she can take our order and support her fam?

    For once gotta agree with Joe.

    Dang! Joe spoke it like it really is

    Like I said, Fat Joe isn’t a wealthy man & never was. Perhaps Pun’s wife wasn’t aware of it. I’m still in the dark on whether she ever tried to get a job since Pun’s death.

    man forget her take care of the kids.

  • BROOKLYN

    Exactly!!!! I agree with Be Original. I dont know why people think just becasue you see someone on tv and hear them on the radio they are wealthy enough to take care of everybody. Bills dont stop but money can. Joe got a family of his own to take care of. Was work not an option for her???

    I FEEL YA JOE,……. BUT TWO BUCKETS OF CHICKEN.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I saw THS on rapper wives and Big Pun’s wife was abused by him. It is unfortunate that his finances were not up to par but she needs to get busy on supporting herself and her family and move on.

  • Be Original

    I just heard Liza’s response on missinfo.tv. She’s claiming that she never received a check & has worked before. I just think it’s funny that she’s leaning (no pun intended) on Joe so many years after his death. She blew $125,000…plain and simple. She is saying that whatever is being made using Pun’s name/music etc., her family isn’t benefitting from it. It’s a sad story, but this isn’t Fat Joe’s responsibility.

  • philly

    im a wife myself & i agree with fat joe. he did more than alot of men/friends would have done. im from the streets and when you die your just dead and people move on. when joe gave her that money, she should’ve flipped it and did like he said: go to school, open your own business’so you can continue getting bread ma. nyc is an expensive place to live. i would’ve relocated down south (inexpensive, NICE homes), went 2 school and opened a business or 2. even if he did beat me, i would not have released those tapes b/c i would’ve used his name to the FULLEST to get my own business’off the ground. i wouldve painted a rosey picture of pun, so i could continue getting money of of his legacy. GET SMART LADY.

    no one wants to suppport a woman beater; what woman would support anything of pun’s after seeing him pistol whip his wife??

  • JB (Green Bay? I’ll take it)

    Maybe if Fat Joe stopped buying shoes he doesn’t wear, he can buy her some groceries.

    @Its6amHoGetOut-

    Going platinum doesn’t equate a million dollars in an artist’s pocket. Really going platinum means nothing these days…let alone back in 1998 when records deals weren’t great to begin with. Artists are just now starting to get smarter about their business dealings.

    Sounds like Pun probably had a shady record deal, that’s why the family isn’t provided for.

  • Smoovee Sayz (impregnating random, thirsty jumpoffs seem to be the bizness…Soulja Boy tell em!!)

    Joe could’ve sent her one of those buckets of chicken…
    damn joey crack!!

    But seriously she should’ve invested her $$ instead of tatting herself up like dat

  • I HATE THE “N” WORD

    I cannot believe I am going to say this but Big Pun is right, that chick is crazy. She should let her kids go with him while she at least tries to get herself together, that is CRAZY!

  • I HATE THE “N” WORD

    I meant Fat Joe is right, my bad, its just two big fat dudes you have to excuse me all I see is stomach.

  • http://www.bossip.com Latasha Thweatt

    That is really messed up. IF I was joe, I would try to sset her up with a gig and leave her alone. I would try my best to provide for the kids though. It was not their fault their mother dos not have education background.

  • eL dIABLO

    BUT I DO ALSO AGREE THAT SHORTY SHOULD OF GOT A JOB, LIKE CMON HOW YOU EXPECT TO LIVE OFF PUN FOREVER, YOU GOT KIDS!!

    I don’t blame Fat Joe. She blew the money dropping E’s. I knew her connect and he was always telling me he was dropping by her crib with over $100 worth each time and this was everyday.

  • http://coloredgirlspeak.com ColoredGirlT

    His wife needs to sue the hell out of Joe, the record company, and everybody else that’s making money off her husband except for her. That’s bullshit! As his wife, I’m not understanding why she’s not getting any of his royalties, and I’m not understanding why she didn’t have a hefty life insurance policy on his big ass.

  • http://facebook.com/ggoodei ggoodeimc

    Big ups Joe for being a man about the situation and doing the right thing. I love Puerto Rican men. They are always about respect and looking out for their family.

    I love my Ricans!

  • JAZZO

    I agree with Fat Joe it is what it is!

  • Loch Ness Monster

    Looks like Fat Joe ‘made’KFC some loot. He could be the new KFC spokesperson.

  • Jay the Real One

    I agree with Joe, as far as her getting his royalties we talking about Big Pun not Michael Jackson, everybody’s royalties not the same.

  • http://www.shekeyultd.com SoCultural

    All of these dudes seem like thy’re for self. How could you turn your back on your peoples people. Saying you don’t have money is meaningless, especially when you sing that you sling rock.

  • Jazmine

    I TOTALLY agree with Joe. He’s done enough for her now she needs to do the shyt for herself. In all honesty…the shyt he did for her he didn’t have to do from jump. He owes her nothing. She owes her kids everything. She needs to be a woman and get up off her fat a** and work!!! Bottom line. There are a bunch of women with children who lost their signifigant other and are out there grinding. Then their are those like her expecting for people to feel sorry and take care of her the rest of her life. Joe has his own da** family!! He has a wife of his own. I’d be da**ed if I was letting my man support another bytches family. A bytch who is physically able to hustle and get it on her own. Not only is that taking food out of me and my husband’s mouth but that’s limiting my own da** kids. Now if he was straight ballin (which I seriously don’t believe Joe is) then that’s a different story. If it was financially feasible for my man to assist another family from time to time and still hold it down for mine then ok. However, God gave her two working fu**ing legs, two arms and a brain! She needs to make shyt happen for herself! I lose all respect for people who believe they’re entitled to a handout! Some mofo’s main objective each day is to sit on the couch, while I’m at work grinding, looking for their next handout. Give me a fu**ing break!!!!

  • DDub (Right? Right.)

    Pun did his thing. Joe did his thing. Now it’s time for the widow to do her thing. It’s like she’s taking Joe to court on child support. at the end of the day, he isn’t obligated to do jack for her. She should have been more careful with the money she did get. Set up a proper estate and leveraged the hell out of Puns “brand”.

    But honestly in 2009 who’d still buying Big Pun albums. I have to believe his stuff is collecting dust right about now.

    __________________________________________

    pun’s wife should be mad at pun 4 spending ALL of his money and not making sure they would be provided 4. that is pun’s family not joe’s. and i agree that pun was pun, not michael jackson or mariah carey. dude had like 1 album while he was alive, and she expects hefty royalties forever???? people dont understand that royalties goes to the writers, producers, etc. if you dont write or produce, your most likely to get scraps.

  • MeMe_Slim

    I don’t think she should depend 100% on Fat Joe. However, FAt Joe was nothing but a hypeman homie of Pun til he died. He took the Terror Squad name and ran with it on the strength of Pun. Who is left on Terror Squad that was co-signed by Pun? Who is left on Terror Squad period? Legally as long as he uses that name, his portion should be distibuted to his heirs. However, one single off an album does not a fortune make. Honestly he and the wife both need to get jobs! Joe is a fraud and a crook. There is a reason everyone left.

  • Keish

    I agree with Fat Joe. Although she got $116k she could have been smart with the money. Instead of living in a home that she and the children couldn’t afford, she should have sold the home took the money bought a smaller home and invested it in something. If she liked doing hair she should have done that and opened up a salon and that would have been money coming in “all the time”. but she didn’t do that. I understand that Big Pun’s death was not expected, but you can’t let yourself fall to pieces for the rest of your life. Pun has been gone for awhile, there is no reason to still be on t.v. talking about what you don’t have!! As Fat Joe said you can’t keep living off the legacy of being Big Pun’s wife!! I have a child and the father and I broke up and he didn’t pay child support BUT I worked a full time & part time job, maintained a home, paid bills and still spent time with my son. Although my child’s father did not pass away like Pun it’s the same difference, because there was no money coming in. It’s not hard to do, yes you do get tired, but you should want to provide for your kids without depending on other to provide for you (especially when you are an adult).

  • shamar from the m otwn

    @MEME_SLIM
    not a fat joe or big pun fan but joe was more thatn a hypeman he just knwe this guy had more starpower than him so he took the backseat which was smart fatjoe alwasy ran the terror squad

  • Newlife

    I TOTALLY AGREE WITH FAT JOE! THIS IS JUST ANOTHER ORDINARY ILLITERATE WOMEN WHO GOT TONS OF MONEY AND DID NOT KNOW HOW TO MANAGE IT WELL. SHE IS NOW THROWING HER DEAD HUSBAND AND JOE UNDER THE BUS. GET A JOB, WOMEN!! STOP ACTING LIKE ANY HOOD LATIN WOMEN WHO, DOES THE SAME CRAP SHE IS DOING NOW.

  • Kimmie

    I agree with Joe. She needs to get on a positive grind instead of trying to hustle him out of his money. What a hungry chick….

    (no joke intended)

  • Rrrrroe Ski Love-

    People on here saying that you can’t make a million off of one hit record are wrong- Carl Carlton (she’s a bad mama jama) made over two million on that one song alone-Vanilla Ice made over 7 million on (ice ice baby)She got paid her royalties and blew the money, thinking that it would still keep coming. Fat Joe is right on this one. You can only ride so far on one tank of gas, it’s time for her to fill up the tank.

  • Miss J

    I respect what he said… Nuff of the G’s expect a hand out just because of the affiliation.

  • leo

    this is a very old picture of fat joe and I remember when I first saw it I was amazed by all those patties of butter everywhere.

    no wonder he is so large and grotesque.

  • POPPA SMURF AKA DUDLEY DOHERRITE

    As stated by some others, record sales aint where the big money come from. Concerts, merchandise sales etc. is how artists get the big dollars. Obviously, Pun aint available for concerts and such. And how many peeps really trying to buy merchandise affiliated wid Big Pun? Not many. Big girl needs to get her self in gear and get a j-o-b.

  • POPPA SMURF AKA DUDLEY DOHERRITE

    Give a person a fish they will eat for a day. Teach a person how to fish, they will eat forever. Somebody need to teach big girl how to bait a line!

  • actright

    Maybe she thought the money would continue to flow but if she was sitting on a good stack and has now fallin to a shelter and she didn’t see it coming shame on her. She is a grown women w/children and shouldn’t put herself in a position to depend on others so long after her husbands death. Here she was exposed to alot of different careers in the industry and she didn’t pick up a trade, another shame, you can’t count the good life to last forever without thinking you don’t have to contribute to keep things in other. Rolling with Fat Joe, she has to get a job…..

  • perfectasdusk

    Sometimes you just gots to get a cottdamn job!

  • Yoda aka. TriniBwoy

    I agree with Joe.

    He looks like he’ll tell you to get going if you try to get one of them chicken pieces.

  • Mr. Cool

    I am with Joe.

  • lala

    I agree with joe too. He’s not resposible for her.
    If it was royalties then that would be debatable but according to this interview, she’s looking to Joe to be the surrogant husband…CAN’T DO THAT!

  • Brooklyn, Stand UP!

    Is he eating invisable chicken? WTF?

  • Quantum

    Question # 1: Why is Fat Joe asleep in the 1st pic? (Or is he merely ‘blessin the chicken dressin’?)

    Question # 2: Did Fat Joe save his crew any chicken? The 2 observable buckets in the pic look totally spent.

    Question # 3: Who approved the Release Party to be held at KFC? (That is a mural of ‘Colonel Chikn’behind Fat Joes right shoulder, correct? And if so, shouldn’t the caption read, ‘catering by KFC’, instead of Capitol Records?)

    I won’t be able to sleep tonite until I get answers!

  • Whatever

    Joe is right. It has been a minute for her to get on point.

  • SoooSassy

    Real talk Fat Joe…it’s not his job to take care of these people. I seen Pun’s kids, they’re not tiny babies. Their azzes are grown! They all need to be working. Folks got life twisted. How are you mad, upset, or whatever? You’re not entitled to nobody’s nothing. I don’t care who your daddy is. Living in a shelter has to teach you a valuable lesson….get off your azz and WORK for what you need and want. That sympathy shyt is played!!!

  • http://REDBONIN'ENTERTAINMENT That’s The Last of The Tyrone Biggums

    He did what he had to do for her whenTS was on top-billin’. Now even JOeY Crack pumpin’gas. Economy is hard. Even Joe Camel tryin to get back into residual recording income achievement. If she knew betta, she’d do betta. That’s the word…SAY WORD!!

  • Unbought_and_Unafraid

    He’s not missing any damn meals… s’all I’m sayin’…

  • Oh my!!

    Ok, this may be completely off topic and who knows how old that damn picture is but….if he keeps eating like that he gonna end up just like Big Pun! Damn!! He really needs to take better care of himself before his wife and kids end up in the same situation that Liza and her kids are now!

  • Jill

    Offer her a book deal about her life struggle.

  • blackbeltshopper

    I bet some of the “millions” went to taxes…No it’s not his job to take care of her & she’s on Joe teats because Pun signed the rights to him…Since he had issues w/the wife why not put the money in a trust? I know it’s ruff on her but it’s time to take ownership and leave the past where it is…Get a job..start a daycare,get a single mothers’grant..etc. …Joe is not going to give you nothing…he’s trying to stay afloat. Nothing will come between him and his chicken!

  • 2dimplzs

    Big Pun’s wife sounds like your typical battered wife. She was battered but refused to leave big Pun. She liked the money, the flashy things, living the life. He died and she thought Fat Joe was going to keep her living that life style. Fat Joe isn’t obligated to do a thing for her or her kids, but he gave her money because of his close relationship with Big Pun.

    It’s HER fault if she continued to mismanage her money over the years. I can’t have any sympathy for her and her kids being in a shelter because if I was given thousands of dollars I would have started my own business and worked hard at making sure that business was successful. She clearly was still trying to live the life instead of saving and investing that money for her and her kids futures.

    I have children and if anything happened to my husband you better believe I will do everything in my power to make a good life for them. I will not sit on my butt waiting for handouts from anyone!!!

  • kiy

    joe is right nobody gotta help her,she needs to help herself…..her & the kids look like the ain’t starving, she needs to stop eating along with her kids unless they want to die like PUN

  • balaramesh

    pun MADE fat joe. fat joe came up a lil bit with “flow joe” in the early 90′s. if the shoe was on the other foot, pun would have joe’s fam living good.

    fat joe has questionable history with his former terror squad crew.

    i can understand not wanting to take care of her forever after giving her funds to start a new life. i help take care of my aunt on a much lower level. it gets old. pun’s wife needs to get a job and move to a place down south with a much lower cost of living. it’s tough everywhere but she can get more bang for her buck living in georgia or something.

  • Adrienne

    I agree w Fat Joe. He helped her at first, now help yourself. Stop trying to live off your late husbands name.

  • CHE$-TOWN

    A the picture of “FAT” Joe says it all!!! He defintely eating off of something cuz his music aint selling

  • Scott

    500k advance,
    250k after taxes,
    200k after managers cut,
    150k after agents cut,
    boom that’s how you get to 116k or whatever

  • TM30

    It’s not anyone’s responsibility to take care of her family, except her. It’s called personal responsibility. Fat Joe’s responsibility lies with his family.

  • the insider

    I just gained a whole new level of respect for Joey Crack.

    And everyone’s right he did a hell of a lot more than most people would do for their friend’s families.

    Big Pun’s wife needs to get up and get a real job and stop trying to exploit her husband and his friends for a quick buck.

  • gemeni2

    i blame the wife, SHE GOT MARRIED AT 14, her folks were against it, she could have completed high school, gone to community college then transfer to a 4 yr college then get married BUT NO it’s not Fat joe’s fault, the music industry is A BUSINESS and A MAKE BELIEVE WORLD THAT WILL NOT LAST. Just like HOLLYWOOD depends on YOUTH, even if you are the most beautiful young woman, you will be used and before you know it your time is up and you’re replaced. big pun should have made a will and non of these problems should not have happened.
    she would have been independent from the very beginning,had job security and even though big pun didn’t leave her anything she should have been standing on her own.

  • http://guidelive.com Soulwriter

    Okay, I’m with Joe: as his wie, the least she should’ve done was had insurance on his @$$, BEFORE he ever even dropped a rhyme with the TS—my husband is in good health, but we know not the day or the hour and there’s enough insurance to pay off the house, set the kids up for college and manage expenses in the meantime. Where is her family? They must be tired of her sh!t too if she’s out in the street WITH HER KIDS—-GET IT TOGETHER WOMAN, D@YUM!!!

  • Samantha

    Why does Fat Joe owe her anything. When her husband died she should have downsized and found a job.

  • http://bossip kiki

    I think that she could do for herself.its been awhile since that man died.like come on i saw the on E! those kids look like they living okay.I do think its time for her to get a job.
