Fat Joe and
Remy Ma stopped through to chat with
The Breakfast Club this morning. Joe and
Remy had a falling out years ago and they've decided to mend their friendship and put out a joint
album. They just released their first single "
All The Way Up."
Joe thinks of Remy as his little sister - and it's obvious that he thinks she hurt him really badly. Being straight up, he says he didn't think they would ever be cool again. Remy reached out to him and told him that she thought they should be family again, and that's all that it took to get the ball rolling.
