Fat Joe Calls Losing a Grammy to Chance the Rapper ‘the Biggest Disrespect’

Fat Joe is still not over his Grammy loss back in 2017. The Bronx rapper has never been shy about speaking his mind, and that didn’t change during a recent listening session of his latest album, The World Changed on Me.

In a clip shared by XXL, Crillz talked about contemplating retirement before discussing when he lost out on Grammys to the Black Eyed Peas and Chance the Rapper. “So, I’m busy trying to get these businesses going and get real money,” he began. “Then, Killer Mike wins three Grammys, right? And I call Dre [of Cool & Dre] up, and was like, ‘F—k that, they givin’ real n—as Grammys?’ I said, ‘Let’s go back in, let’s lock in.’ If it wasn’t for [Killer Mike], I was retired.”

Remy Ma, who was sitting next to Joe, then mentioned some of the Grammys they’ve been nominated for over the years before Joe interjected, proclaiming, “We got robbed.”

He then elaborated, saying, “‘Lean Back’ we lost to the Black Eyed Peas — I don’t know if you know — without Fergie. And then we lost ‘All the Way Up’ to Chance the Rapper.” Adding, “Like that’s the biggest disrespect … Let me tell you something, I’ma keep it real with you,” as the crowd in attendance reacted to what he was saying.

He then continued, “You know how Jay-Z used to say, ‘Gotta learn to live with regrets?’ I can’t live with that one. Losing to Chance the Rapper. .. ‘All the Way Up’ or whatever his s–t was, it was just not that, a’ight. So, Remy comes outta jail, I come outta jail, we throw a f—king miracle frisbee out there, s–t No. 1 in America and you gonna give it to, you know? It’s crazy. Grammys been playing with us for a long time.”

In 2004, the Black Eyed Peas won the Grammy for best rap performance by a group or duo for “Let’s Get It Started,” and then in 2017, Chance, Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz took home that Grammy for “No Problem,” while Drake‘s “Hotline Bling” beat out “All the Way Up” for best rap song.
