Fat Joe Makes His Case

in fact, he mostly had criticism for Akademiks here. Mostly, he doesn't agree with how the media personality framed the question which subsequently led to a hostile answer. “He made him answer what he thought about Gunna,” Joe explained. “That’s the oldest trick in the book in Hip Hop journalism. Now, Durk jumps out and says, ‘No, I’m not.’ Now these two people don’t like each other for the rest of their life. But this is the type of entrapment, East-Coast West Coast beef, VIBE magazine, The Source magazine shit they been doing. Here, we stay in the light. We want to hear positive things about everybody.”
