Dodgers player Kiké Hernández was one of many who fell in love with Fat Joe after the rapper’s widely criticized World Series performance.
During the Los Angeles Dodgers’ victory parade on November 1, Hernández threw some parting shots at Fat Joe. He first started by praising the Dodgers and how well their team has played this year. He then moved on to praise Ice Cube, who performed on behalf of the Dodgers during the World Series.
“Hey, Cube. Give it up for Ice Cube’s people. With his performance, we’re not even playing the game we won,” he began.
“Then we went to New York. And this guy who used to be fat, he’s not fat anymore, his name is Joe, he showed up. Guess what? We didn’t even need to compete because after the show That performance he won,” he concluded as the crowd laughed loudly.
Hernández wasn’t the only Dodgers player to come out and cover for Fat Joe for his performance. Joe Kelly also threw some shots his way after the Dodgers’ shocking game five victory due to a disastrous fifth inning by the Yankees that forced the team to give up five runs due to poor defense.
“We were down 5-0, they put Fat Joe on the board. Like ‘Now that’s an easy W.’ Fat Joe is the curse. They started kicking the ball around and playing Yankee football,” he said.
“Do Yankee fans have such a thing as the “Fat Joe” curse,” one person asked on Twitter.
To top it off, Ice Cube gave an impromptu performance at the Dodgers’ parade on Friday to congratulate the team on going to the World Series.
It was previously reported that Fat Joe was blamed by fans for the Yankees losing the World Series after his controversial performance.
“As soon as Fat Joe showed up, I knew we were doomed…” one fan said.
“Dodgers go 3 – 0 with this performance,” another joked on Instagram.
Many comments lamented the fact that Fat Joe was the chosen performer, as there were many other famous rappers from New York. With his poor performance behind him, another shot aimed at him was praise for Ice Cube’s performance.
Additionally, the rapper was also criticized for leaving Timberlands on the mound during his performance because it could have created more work for the crew to maintain the mound during an already busy time as well as make soil damage.
