After rumors surfaced over the weekend that reported Fat Joe and Papoose were involved in a minor scuffle, Fat Joe quickly responded by posted a video denying any such incident. Now, Papoose has addressed the alleged fight, claiming there was, in fact, a fight, where he and Joe squared off and it ended with himself on top.
Via an interview with San Francisco radio station KMEL on Monday (March 3), the Brooklyn rapper explained how it all went down.
"I'm from Brooklyn, New York, man. We don't bow down to nobody, we don't take no BS from nobody," the rapper said. "This dude came at me sideways, chose to approach me with a bunch of bodyguards and all that, asked me did I have a problem with him. I asked him did he have a problem with me. We got into a scuffle, I did what I did, man. I put my work in.
"I asked the dude for a fair one, Fat Joe," he continued. "I told him 'Yo, listen man, let all your mans step outside, my two mans -- I only had two dudes with me, he had like nine or ten with him -- and me and you do the one on one. He didn't wanna do that. He refused to do that. So we just got it on like that. I got it on with all them dudes. Don't deny the facts. He can't deny the fact that I put my work in."

Although he was unclear as to whether or not actual blows were thrown, he clarified, when radio DJ, Big Von asked "You tapped him?"
"Hell yeah. I'm from Brooklyn. That's what we do... I put my work in on the middle of that chin," Pap said in response.
According to Pap, he believes the friction between himself and Fat Joe began when he did a radio interview with 50 Cent recently, a longtime enemy of Fat Joe.
He also revealed that the incident took place in Cassidy's hotel room in North Carolina -- both were in town for a concert. When the two actually confronted each other, Pap explained that Joe refused to fight him one on one, and for this, he's lost all respect for his fellow New York rapper.
If you ask a man for a fair one and you can't even grant him a fair one and you outweigh him by 100 pounds? Come on man," Pap explained.
"Your whole crew or bodyguards and off duty police seen me ask you for everybody to step out the room and we do this one on one like men," he continued. "You can never deny that... You should have came like a grown man. You should have came like a G."
In Papoose music news, the rapper says he's almost finalized a new record deal, which he did not elaborate much on because in his own words "it ain't final until it's final."
Currently, fans can hear new music from Papoose via his 20th mixtape, titled Build Or Destroy. The mixtape is available at MixtapePass.com.
