<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fat Joe garnered a lot of side eye from hip hop fans after he said DaBaby is 2021’s Tupac Shakur.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The bold statement was made while Fat Joe visited with Big Tigger for the revival of BET’s “Rap City.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tigger played a game with Fat Joe, asking him his opinions on who’s the 2021 version of a few hip-hop legends.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When Tigger asked &#8220;Who&#8217;s the 2021 version of Tupac Shakur?&#8221; Joey Crack’s response left rap fans shooketh.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I should know the Tupac one,” Fat Joe replied. “I don’t know, it’s hard to be these guys. You be asking some crazy stuff. I would say DaBaby.”</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">DaBaby shared the clip on his page, letting Fat Joe know he agrees with him. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">After the clip went viral, Fat Joe got a lot of heat from fans for making the comparison.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In return, Joey Crack went live on Instagram Wednesday to explain his unpopular opinion and declined to walk back his statement.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I’m not making excuses, I’m not saying sorry, I’m not&#8230;none of that,” Fat Joe said. “But who’s the new Tupac? Don’t know, but if I’m gonna take a guess,” he said, adding that he knew the late Tupac Shakur in real life.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He then went on to explain why he specifically said DaBaby when asked that question.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I’m thinking&#8230;DaBaby a real one. A certified real one!” Fat Joe said. “Whether you like him or you don’t like him or whatever, I believe he lives what he raps. And that’s very much like Tupac.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Then Fat Joe made it clear that DaBaby is NO Tupac Shakur.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Is he Tupac Shakur? NO! No one will ever be Tupac Shakur.”</span></p>
