Today is Fat Joe’s 41st birthday! Fat Joe, whose real name is Jose Antonio Cartagena, first stepped on the scene in the early 90s, releasing his first album Represent in 1993. Joe went on to release ten albums, have a few roles in major movies, and become CEO of Terror Squad Entertainment. Recently after losing several friends including the late, great Big Pun, because of weight related issues Joe dropped over 88 pounds and is living a healthier lifestyle and is looking better than ever.

Happy Birthday, Fat Joe! We wish you many, many more!
