US EditionRapper Fat Joe hits back with defamation lawsuit against ex-hypeman
- On April 29, 2025, rapper Joseph "Fat Joe" Cartagena initiated a defamation lawsuit in New York against Terrance Dixson, who previously worked as his hype man, and Dixson’s legal representative, Tyrone Blackburn.
- The lawsuit arises from Dixson’s claims starting in March 2025 that Cartagena owes him money and includes false allegations of sexual misconduct and trafficking.
- Cartagena alleges Dixson and Blackburn demanded payment through threatening letters and social media attacks, accusing them of a coordinated extortion scheme.
- Attorney Joe Tacopina denied the allegations, describing them as entirely unfounded and alleging they are driven by a fraudulent extortion attempt masterminded by a lawyer previously criticized by a federal judge for misusing the judicial system.
- Cartagena is pursuing legal action to expose the alleged fraudulent scheme and hold Dixson and Blackburn fully accountable for defamation and harassment.
