BEEF: FAT JOE VS DADDY YANKEE

August 30, 2008 | by Skope Staff

Last week, Daddy Yankee showed up at a Phoenix high school to endorse Republican senator John McCain. The Reggaeton artist backed the presumptive presidential candidate by saying, “He’s a fighter for the Hispanic community.”  Well, apparently this statement didn’t sit so well with Fat Joe, who told MTV News that Yankee is a sellout. Joe explained, “I felt like I wanted to vomit when I seen that. I feel he did that for a [publicity] look, rather than the issues that are affecting his people that look up to him.” Joe added, “How could you want John McCain in office when George Bush and the Republicans already have half a million people losing their homes in foreclosure? I feel real disgusted that Daddy Yankee would do that. Either he did that for a look, or he’s just not educated on politics.” Joe even offered to challenge Yankee to a debate on who’s the better candidate for the Latino community. MTV News reports that Yankee’s reps said he was out of the country and wouldn’t be available to comment until next week.

    I recently did a post on the whole Fat Joe/Daddy Yankee/John McCain thing and honestly as insane as it sounds, I think it’s Daddy Yankee’s right to endorse whoever he wants and I don’t think anyone should be critical of it the way Fat Joe is. Some may say Daddy Yankee has a strong Latino fan base who he owes it to to not back someone like McCain but he Daddy Yankee’s vote is his own and I think Fat Joe should keep his comments to himself and just make sure he and everyone he knows votes on election day.

Got something to say?
