According to reports, Fat Joe remains unsettled by his 2017 Grammy loss, a sentiment he candidly revisited while previewing tracks from his latest album, The World Changed on Me. Known for his unfiltered commentary, the Bronx rapper once again let his frustrations be heard.
In a video featured by XXL, Crillz reflected on moments of considering retirement, recounting the sting of losing Grammy honors to acts like the Black Eyed Peas and Chance the Rapper. He stated, “So, I’m busy trying to get these businesses going and get real money.” “Then, Killer Mike wins three Grammys, right? And I call Dre [of Cool & Dre] up, and was like, ‘F—k that, they givin’ real n—as Grammys?’ I said, ‘Let’s go back in, let’s lock in.’ If it wasn’t for [Killer Mike], I was retired.”

Seated beside Joe, Remy Ma reflected on their history of Grammy nominations, only for Joe to cut in emphatically, declaring, “We got robbed.” “‘Lean Back’ we lost to the Black Eyed Peas — I don’t know if you know — without Fergie. And then we lost ‘All the Way Up’ to Chance the Rapper.”
He continued as the audience cheered him on, “Like that’s the biggest disrespect … Let me tell you something, I’ma keep it real with you.” “You know how Jay-Z used to say, ‘Gotta learn to live with regrets?’ I can’t live with that one. Losing to Chance the Rapper. .. ‘All the Way Up’ or whatever his s–t was, it was just not that, a’ight. So, Remy comes outta jail, I come outta jail, we throw a f—king miracle frisbee out there, s–t No. 1 in America and you gonna give it to, you know? It’s crazy. Grammys been playing with us for a long time.”
The Black Eyed Peas earned a Grammy in 2004 for their hit “Let’s Get It Started,” recognized as the year’s top rap group performance. Thirteen years later, the honor went to Chance the Rapper, Lil Wayne, and 2 Chainz for “No Problem,” while Drake’s “Hotline Bling” edged out “All the Way Up” for Best Rap Song.
