Big Pun’s Widow Abrutly Ends Interview After Being Questioned About Fat Joe

by

Big Pun’s widow, Liza Rios, stormed out of an interview on the Uppercut podcast, last week, after being asked several questions about Fat Joe. In doing so, she accused the interviewer of taking Joe’s “side” in their feud and complained about him having an “attitude.”

“Joe probably would’ve faded out because if another label would have signed Big Pun, Joe probably would have faded to the back,” she said, as caught by AllHipHop. “[…] Joe’s a smart business man. He’s stayed relevant all these years.” From there, the interviewer asked why she can’t bring herself to apologize to Joe. She responded: “Are you serious? Why would I give him an apology after what he put my family through? What he did legally.” As they began arguing, Rios concluded: “Can we stop this for a second? I’m leaving this interview. This is a whole Fat Joe situation now. Yeah, I’m good. I’m good off of this. I’m not comfortable and I’m leaving this interview.”

When The Art of Dialogue shared a clip of the moment on Instagram, fans expressed their support for Rios. “Being a journalist is a skill. Asking one sided questions to elicit a response is not a flex. She made a good decision by leaving,” one user wrote. Another added: “Dude was a HORRRRRIBLE interviewer, and I’m glad that she shook the spot!!”

Liza Rios Discusses Fat Joe

Rios and Joe have been at odds since Pun’s tragic death in 2000. Rios has accused Joe of failing to properly pay her family the royalties from Pun’s music and that Joe greedily profited off of the late rapper’s legacy. She even took legal action against him in 2014. Joe had denied the allegations over the years. Check out the moment Liza Rios stormed out of her interview with the Uppercut podcast below.

Murda Mook Goes After “Bozo” Joe Budden For Joking About His Recent Arrest: “That’s A Special Kind Of Hate”

Murda Mook voiced his frustration with Joe Budden during a recent appearance on the Uppercut Podcast. He took issue with Budden making jokes about the size of his apartment in response to his arrest back in February. He says it takes a “special kind of hate” to make jokes at a time like that and never check to make sure the person is alright. At the time, NYPD officers came to his residence to investigate an accusation that he scratched his daughter’s arm. Mook documented the incident on Instagram Live.

“Joe is a bozo,” he said on the podcast. “I thought me and Joe was all right. I ain’t know it was like that. He didn’t call to check and see if a n***a was alive or not. You know, it’s crazy a n***a want to worry about how you living, and [not] worry about if you living. Think about that. That’s wild.”

“That’s a special kind of hate,” Mook added. “You watching something happen that we stand up and march for. Police kill motherf*ckers all the time. We seen sh*t was going wrong. When you seen that, as a Black man, you supposed to be concerned about the person. Especially if you thought you was cool. You can roast them later. Find out if the n***a breathing first. That’s how real n****s do it. But that separates who is who and where we from.” He also went on to criticize Budden for not speaking on the allegations against Diddy sooner.
