Fat Joe revealed that he put the bail money to free Justin Bieber after he was arrested in 2014 for drag racing in Miami Beach back in 2014.
On the latest episode of Joe and Jada, Joe recalled getting a call from Raul Conde, the late former Terror Squad member, who was in search of someone to bail out Bieber. He said the “Baby” singer was “driving crazy around Miami.”
“It wasn’t no money. It was nothing,” Joe said around the 18:50 mark in the video above. “Couple of hundred dollars, a thousand dollars.”
According to Joe, Bieber talked on the regular, but everything changed when the “Lean Back” rapper into th pop singer.
“He calls me to thank me, and starts saying, ‘Yo, I’m a gangster now,” Joe said. “I said, ‘Yo, Justin. Listen bro. You gotta stop. We don’t want you gangster.”
“We don’t want you on the news. We don’t want you getting arrested. We want you to succeed. You’re Justin Bieber!” he continued. “My daughter worships you! We all love you! And that kinda messed up my relationship with him at that moment.”
Joe went on to speak about how foolish it is to bring about doing time in jail. When he had to spend some time in jail in Miami, he said there were “2,000 guys were screaming at him.”
“I already know walking up in there, I said, ‘Oh man, somebody gonna run up on me real quick with a knife, talking about you gotta pay whatever, whatever, and I actually got intimidated,” Joe admitted.
