Fat Joe Calls Drake’s DJ Khaled Diss ‘Bullying,’ Jadakiss Pushes Back

A lively debate erupted on the latest episode of the Joe and Jada podcast after Fat Joe criticized Drake’s recent diss aimed at DJ Khaled, while co-host Jadakiss strongly disagreed with his take.

The discussion centered around Drake’s new song “Make Them Pay,” featured on his recently released album Iceman. In the track, Drake takes aim at several public figures, including longtime collaborator DJ Khaled.

The lyrics have sparked widespread discussion throughout the hip-hop community, with fans and artists weighing in on whether the comments crossed a line.

During the podcast, Fat Joe said he felt Drake’s attack on Khaled came across as “a form of bullying,” arguing that Khaled is not a rapper and therefore is not in a position to respond through music the way another artist might.

Joe suggested the criticism felt one-sided and unnecessary.

Jadakiss immediately challenged that view, pointing out that Drake himself has been the target of criticism from numerous artists over the years.

He argued that diss records and public feuds are part of hip-hop culture and that Drake has every right to respond to people he believes have wronged him.

The exchange quickly gained attention online, with fans split over which rapper made the stronger argument. Some agreed with Fat Joe that DJ Khaled is an unusual target for a diss track, while others sided with Jadakiss and viewed Drake’s comments as fair game in the competitive world of hip-hop.

The debate adds another layer to the ongoing controversy surrounding Iceman, an album that has generated headlines for its numerous lyrical shots at celebrities, athletes, and fellow music industry figures.
