Wack 100 found himself in another controversy. This time, it’s surrounding Fat Joe’s long-standing issues with Big Pun’s widow, Liza Rios. During a recent Instagram video post, the West Coast executive detailed that he worked things out with Rios to help her family. However, he seemingly called out Fat Joe over allegations that he withheld Pun’s royalties from the late rapper’s family. In 2016, Joe and Rios settled their suit for an undisclosed amount, though some industry experts said Pun was owed closer to $2 million.
Wack took to Instagram where he clarified the things that he said during the call, including his stance with Fat Joe. “I never had a conversation with Fat Joe about Big Pun or business with Big Pun,” he said to begin with. However, Wack said that his most recent interaction with Joe was pleasant. “Last time I seen Fat Joe, we was at Prime 112, 25 deep, and he covered the whole bill. That’s Game’s friend. He been my friend,” he said in an attempt to clarify their suspected issues.

Wack explained that he wasn’t entirely knowledgeable about the issues between Fat Joe and Liza Rios before meeting with her. “Big Pun’s wife came to see me, Liza. Told me she was looking for a situation that would be healthy for her,” he said. “Big Pun, I feel like is part of the culture, like, that’s Big Pun. His story needs to be told. What I did do is line up a situation that was healthy for her,” he added. Wack said that he reached out to his team to push a series on Big Pun, which he said is now on the way.
Ultimately, Wack 100 didn’t want anyone, including Fat Joe, to think there were any actual issues. He said that he and Fat Joe have never had a conversation surrounding Big Pun in the past. “As far as I’m concerned, he wanna see Pun win and his family win. The Fat Joe I know,” he said. “Let’s kill that narrative. Fat Joe’s a friend of mine… Let’s kill the narrative that Wack stood up to Fat Joe,” he said. Check out the full clip above.
