AceShowbiz - During the "Uppercut" podcast, Liza Rios accused the interviewer of taking Fat Joe's side in their ongoing dispute. She stated that Joe had "faded out" without Big Pun's support and praised Joe as a clever businessman who had remained relevant.
When prompted about apologizing to Joe, Rios responded angrily. "Why would I apologize after what he put my family through?" she said, accusing Joe of exploiting Big Pun's legacy and not compensating his family adequately. "He did things legally," she added.
As their argument escalated, Rios exclaimed, "I'm leaving this interview. This is a whole Fat Joe situation now." She accused the interviewer of having an "attitude" and stormed out.
Fans expressed support for Rios on social media, criticizing the interviewer's alleged bias. "Being a journalist is a skill," one user wrote. "Asking one-sided questions is not a flex."
Liza Rios and Fat Joe have been at odds since Big Pun's tragic death in 2000. Rios has accused Joe of withholding royalties and profiting from Pun's legacy. In 2014, Rios filed a lawsuit against Joe alleging unpaid royalties.
Joe has denied the allegations, claiming to have met his contractual obligations. Despite his public expression of love and respect for Big Pun, the dispute has strained their once-close relationship.
