His use of the n-word
Touching on the whole “N-word” controversy that follows him every few years, Joe explains that he grew up in the projects where the majority were Black people who would call him “ni**a” throughout his childhood which made him feel like he was Black too. Most Latinos who grow up in the hood especially in New York use the word, so it’s become a part of that Hip-Hop culture of NYC that many out of towners wouldn’t understand. Still though, Joe says he tries not to use it to prevent anyone from being offended but it’s too engrained in his vocabulary at this point. Heck, even the Honorable Minister Farrakhan addressed him as “Black Man” when he greets him.
