Fat Joe Opens Up About His Special Needs Son

When you think of Fat Joe, you don’t usually think of a sweet, caring, emotionally sensitive father, but that’s exactly what he is.

In a Facebook post on Sunday, Fat Joe opened up about the little known history of having and raising his son. Fat Joe wrote on Facebook,

“I’m very private with my first born. Joey is special kid full of joy and Love. there’s no way you could understand unless you have a family member who has challenges in life. He’s my angel and the reason for all my blessings. I Love him to death #godisgreat”

The post was accompanied by this adorable photo:

Back in 2010 Fat Joe also shared some history about his son, telling UrbLife:

“My oldest son is Joey, he’s 18. When I had him I was very young. I love my son dearly, but I didn’t feel like I was ready to have kids at the time. From time to time I told my mom and dad they should have educated me on the responsibilities of having a kid. “He was a special needs child, I raised him with my parents. His mom couldn’t handle him, and instead of him going to a center we raised him all of his life. I had to learn the responsibilities of being a parent the hard way.”

Thank you Fat Joe for taking time out of your daily hobbies of pulling up your pants and doing to the rockaway, to share an emotional story about raising your son. Much appreciated.
