Fat Joe Says He Got Dissed At Nas' Birthday Party For Being From The Bronx

Fat Joe has claimed he got dissed at Nas' birthday for being from the Bronx. "I was at Nas' birthday party. And you have to understand that hip-hop culture is my life. It was taught to me that hip-hop was color-blind. And if you loved hip-hop music, we loved you. So I got to Nas' 50th birthday party and I'm surrounded by Queens guys. Now my wife is from Queens. N.O.R.E., one of my best friends, is from Queens. And then out of nowhere, I hear a voice say 'Yo, this is Queens side. Go over there, that's the Bronx side." Joe was absolutely blown away by the diss, saying that the Queens-Bronx rivalry was "so long ago". Joe declined to name the person who had dissed him. However, The Bridge Wars were a very real thing, which is what Joe was getting at. The rivalry, which dominated the 80s and 90s, was started by a feud between Boogie Down Productions (Bronx) and Juice Crew (Queens). Furthermore, many Bronx rappers have pointed to albums such as Nas' 1994 icon Illmatic as proof that "the Bridge is still live."
