AceShowbiz - Fat Joe has had his fair share of experiencing embarrassing moments when he got high. On Tuesday, September 20, the "All the Way Up" rapper recalled the moment he ran out into the street "butt naked" after smoking weed.
The 52-year-old shared his story on the opening day of the Roc Nation School of Music Sports & Entertainment. "So I'm in my apartment I'm still in The Bronx, and she convinces me to get high," he said of his friend. "She goes, 'Yo lets smoke this weed, it's incredible…so I smoke. I got so paranoid I ran out the house butt naked, real talk.
"In the middle of the night. I ran out of there, they call that a bad trip or something right? I ran out of there and the girl, she pulls up in my car. I have the white Lexus and she's like 'Joe, Joe, get in the car,' " he continued. "I was already Fat Joe too…I was like, 'I'm gonna die! I gotta go to the hospital! I'm gonna die.' "
"So she convinced me to get in the car and said she was gonna take me to the hospital and she takes me around the block and we go in the crib and I take like seven showers," the emcee further recounted. "I never want you guys to see Fat Joe running naked down the street!"
Joe went on to explain that if he were out here smoking weed all the time, he wouldn't be able to focus on his career. "If Fat Joe was high he'd be broke," he declared, before saying that either way he plans to sell the plant once it's legal in New York City.
