- A post claims Fat Joe said his wife left. It adds a demand for half his property.

A viral post claims Fat Joe (Joseph Antonio Cartagena) confessed. It says his wife left after their child’s Down syndrome diagnosis. It also adds a demand for half his property.
The claim misstates remarks from his 2024 Club Shay Shay chat. There, he said an ex left after the diagnosis at birth. He raised Joey with his parents and stressed full fatherhood.
He said, “A father has to be a father,” in that talk. Online chatter then pulled Offset into the debate over men’s rights. See our report on Offset divorce support claims for context.
What Fat Joe actually said
The rapper recalled doctors warning of a hard road at birth. He alleged Joey’s mother chose to walk away at once. He said his family stepped in and raised the child.
Fact-check and current context
Reports do not mention a divorce or any asset split. Public profiles note a long marriage to Lorena Cartagena. Joey lives within a close family that often shares proud updates.
