During Joe’s talk at “Us: A Summit On Black & Brown Men And The Vote”, he shared his views on Puerto Ricans voting for Trump. “It’s a housing mentality. It’s a Latino wishing they were white.”

“‘That’s the mentality of that house.”

Fat Joe calls on Puerto Ricans to act white and reacts to jokes comedian Tony Hinchcliffe made about blacks and Puerto Ricans at Donald Trump’s New York rally.

Hinchcliff calls Puerto Rico a “floating trash island.” He also made crude jokes about Palestinians and Jews, and black and Latino voters more broadly.

While Joe said the island comment broke his heart, not everyone had the same reaction. In a recent CNN report, many Puerto Ricans residing in Pennsylvania still sided with Trump, despite the negative comments. He also received an endorsement from Republican Puerto Rico Shadow Senator Zoraida Buxó.

However, other Puerto Rican celebrities, including Jennifer Lopez and Nicky Jam, publicly endorsed Harris following these comments.

Fat Joe also recently made headlines after his polarizing performance in the World Series 3 opener between the Dodgers and Yankees, as many called his performance “New York and “All The Way Up” as “the worst performance ever”.

He accepted criticism comfortably, although some even blamed him for the Yankees World Series loss.
