According to Fat Joe, his ex “abandoned” them after learning that their son had Down syndrome

“But a father has to be a father, [and] I don’t know how to be a fake father.”

Fat Joe told everyone that his ex-girlfriend left him and their Down syndrome son. Joe was on the most recent show of Shanon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay. The famous emcee talked about what it was like to raise a child with a genetic disorder as a single parent.

“The doctor then says, ‘I have bad news for you.'” “[Your son] has Down syndrome, and things will be hard,” Joe thinks back. “My mom, dad, and his mom are all there with me.” The mother of my son told me, “Yo, I can’t do this. I’m going to have to give him up for adoption.” “You crazy b**ch, I’m not giving up,” my mom told me. So, we took care of him. What I want to say is that I never saw his mother again… She never went back to see him again. I’m not here to kick and scream, but she left the child.

“We raised him by ourselves.” He doesn’t know any other family, and it’s not because we wouldn’t let him. Because his mom is crazy. She never saw him again, and I didn’t keep the door shut so she couldn’t see her son. Her chance to see her son was always there. There are, however, bad people in the world, both male and female. Usually, it’s the woman who runs away when the baby is born with Down syndrome. You should feel bad about yourself.

After that, Joe played games with other dads to show why he can’t give up on his kids. The rapper from Terror Squad said that as a dad, it’s his job to be there for his kids and give them the love they deserve, no matter how they look.

He said, “But a father has to be a father, and I don’t know how to be a fake father.” “No matter what, I have to take care of my kids, and I don’t know how to give up on them.” And my son has had some problems. I don’t know if other autistic or on the range kids are like this, but this guy is happy. He’s always happy, I swear. He’s always happy. He’s the Don… He knows because he looks at his brothers and sisters from the other side of the table.

Joe kept talking about the child and called him his “biggest blessing.” He said more about the statement, saying that God hasn’t given up on Joe and his family because they never gave up on him.
