Rapper Fat Joe: ‘We Feel Stranded’ in Puerto Rico

EXCERPT:

HARLOW: "All right. Welcome back. With us now is rapper Fat Joe. You know his name, you know his music, but you may not know what he’s doing for the people of Puerto Rico, including all the relatives he has down there. He is sending a big plane along with the help of Jay-Z with a ton of supplies to help the folks of Puerto Rico this week. Thank you for being with us."
FAT JOE: "Hey, thank you for having me."
HARLOW: "So you — look, you posted on Instagram not long ago, if we don’t take care of our own, no one will. What do you mean? And what did that have to do with driving this action?"
FAT JOE: "That's -- what I mean is we feel -- we fell stranded. You know, U.S. citizens and Puerto Rico has paid their part. You know, I have two -- two little cousins that's in the army right now willing to give their life for this country. And the fact that it took so long to get any help out there, that’s what I mean. So we have to mobilize and -- and empower ourselves to collect canned foods and waters and women’s hygiene and tooth pastes to give back to our own community and that we did. So we set out a goal, you know, with Jay-Z ‘Tidal’ to fill up one plane with 200,000 pounds, and actually we filled up five planes and we got to fit up another five more. So we -- we -- we’re at 2 million pounds that the city of New York has collected. Governor Cuomo has been a blessing, an angel. Ruben Diaz Jr. has been a blessing. We collected from the Bronx. We collected tons of stuff in the Bronx that half is going to Mexico, half is going to Puerto Rico. You know, and as I continue to explain that to you, I have to send my prayers to our brothers and sisters in Vegas, because what happens was -- was -- was something I’ve never seen in my life. And I’ve been praying all night for them."
