Terrance. Dixon, a hype man who used to work for Fat Joe, has filed an explosive lawsuit against the rapper for $20 million. Dixon alleges that his former boss is engaged in "coercive labor exploitation, financial fraud, sexual manipulation, violent intimidation, and psychological coercion."
The lawsuit was filed in New York, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District. It also includes details of relationships between Fat Joe, whose real name is Joseph Antonio Cartagena, and three different minors, including sexual acts that were witnessed by Dixon.
What is said in the lawsuit?
Dixon’s main lawsuit is about coercion, alleging that he was forced to participate in sexual and humiliating situations. These were supervised by the rapper himself, who allegedly threatened to kick Dixon out of their "crew" or even leave him in foreign countries.
The document also details how Dixon witnessed the rapper having relationships with three minors—teenagers between 15 and 16 years old. One of them was even forced to undergo a Brazilian Butt Lift surgery because her body was not fully developed. With another minor, Fat Joe allegedly paid for a house near to his own house.

What did Fat Joe respond?
Fat Joe's lawyer, Joe Tapicona, responded to the accusations against his client in a statement to The Independent. Blackburn remarked that the lawsuit is a form of retaliation by Dixon, as he is no longer working for the rapper. "The allegations against Mr. Cartagena are complete fabrications—lies intended to damage his reputation and force a settlement through public pressure. Mr. Cartagena will not be intimidated," the lawyer wrote.
The defendants also include Pete "Pistol Pete" Torres and Richard "Rich Player" Jospitre. Dixon claims that they are key associates in Fat Joe's criminal acts. Jay-Z's Roc Nation is also named, accused of putting obstacles in Dixon's ownership and royalties, and allegedly threatening the hype man to obstruct his lawsuit.
