“I dare you to look down my IG or anywhere on social media, and see if Fat Joe has ever pulled out a one-hundred-dollar bill. When you get caught, you told on yourself.”

That was Fat Joe’s response to latest social media challenge - The Money Challenge.

We can credit NBA YoungBoy for the popular challenge where people spell out their names with wads of money – typically 100-dollar bills and take pictures that they post to social media. There’s truly nothing new under the sun as The Chief Rocker Busy Bee spelled his name out in a scene from the seminal Hip-Hop movie Wild Style back in 1983. That fact should end 50 Cent and Soulja Boys debate about who did it first. Actor, rapper and media personality Nick Cannon put his 2 cents into the challenge stating simply “IRS Is Watchin”.

Fat Joe echoes Nick’s words and is in disbelief that so many are inviting the authorities to look into their finances. Joe continued in a frustrated tone. “You haven’t had a legit job in your life and you’re writing your name with mountains of money. Fuck is wrong with you? All they (the authorities) have to do is search for the hash tag money challenge – who’s loco32, who’s john john 43? Let them catch you, don’t catch yourself!”

LL COOL J cleverly entered the conversation, but posted a decades old image of himself spelling his name with ice cubes with the simple caption “Been there.”
