Fat Joe was accused of engaging in sex acts with minors in a bombshell $20 million lawsuit filed by his ex-hypeman Terrance “T.A.” Dixon.
In court documents revealed by Page Six on Thursday, Dixon accused Fat Joe of being involved in illicit activities, stating he “personally witnessed [Fat Joe] engage in sexual relations with children who were fifteen and sixteen years old.”
Dixon’s allegations against the artist, who has strongly denied them, include involvement with a 16-year-old Dominican girl. This teenager allegedly provided “oral sex and other sexual acts” for Fat Joe in return for money, clothing, and having her phone bill paid.
The lawsuit further mentions a Caucasian girl from outside the United States. According to Dixon, Fat Joe, now 54, allegedly began having “sexual relations” with her when she was 15, following a “concert overseas.”
The techno producer claimed that the “Lean Back” rapper flew the girl to New York City and Miami on numerous occasions.
He also alleged in the lawsuit that Fat Joe paid for the minor to undergo a Brazilian Butt Lift since her body wasn’t fully developed as a woman.
According the court docs, the girl “eventually left Defendant and is now married to a professional athlete.”
Lastly, Dixon listed a Latina, whom he alleged Fat Joe met when she was 15 years old and he was in his late 30s.
Per the filing, the “What’s Luv” crooner “was in love with” the girl, and allegedly considered leaving his wife, Lorena Cartagena, for her.
Fat Joe — born Joseph Antonio Cartagena — would allegedly pay for the girl’s bills and take her overseas with him on tour.
“He brought her to Florida and would put her up in a condo he rented a few blocks from his house with his wife,” the filing alleges.
Dixon, who worked with Fat Joe from 2006 to 2019, also accused the “All the Way Up” rapper in the lawsuit of “coercive labor exploitation, financial fraud, sexual manipulation, violent intimidation, and psychological coercion.”
He claimed in the court docs that he was “consistently underpaid, denied songwriting credits and deliberately concealed from royalties and backend compensation.”
Dixon is also suing Pete “Pistol Pete” Torres, Richard “Rich Player” Jospitre, Erica Juliana Moreira, Sneaker Addict Touring LLC, Slate, Inc. and Roc Nation, LLC, among others.
He described himself as also being a “lyricist, background vocalist, security team member, and creative collaborator” for Fat Joe.
Fat Joe’s attorney, Joe Tacopina denies the allegations against the Grammy nominee, alleging to Page Six that Dixon’s lawyer, Tyrone Blackburn, “improperly files cases in federal court to garner media attention, embarrass defendants with salacious allegations and press defenses.”
Tacopina claims that Blackburn has received warnings from judges in the past “because his filings were replete with inaccurate statements of law full of similar irrelevant insults, misstatements and exaggerations.”
Tacopina claims that he’s spoken to the women Dixon claimed were victims, and they’ve denied any wrongdoing on Fat Joe’s behalf.
“They’ve made it clear that some of them don’t even know Fat Joe,” he claims.
Blackburn wasn’t immediately available to Page Six for comment.
In May, Fat Joe filed a lawsuit against Dixon after the latter accused him of being a pedophile online.
According to the documents obtained by Page Six, Fat Joe claimed the allegations were a “money grab,” recounting how he generously paid Dixon and his ex-employee, “enjoyed the perquisites of touring, luxurious travel, and other fringe benefits of a world-renowned musician’s team.”
Fat Joe alleged that Dixon “never raised any issues or sought any additional compensation” since they amicably parted ways six years ago.
Blackburn responded to Fat Joe’s lawsuit to TMZ at the time, saying, It was “a baseless lawsuit in an effort to soften the blow of what’s to come. It won’t work. Fat Joe has a lot of explaining to do.”
