Fat Joe Called Out By Jadakiss For Hilariously Misquoting Popular Bone Thugs-N-Harmony Lyric

Fat Joe has gone viral after hilariously messing up one of the most recited rap lyrics in Hip-Hop history.

During a recent episode of the Joe and Jada podcast, hip-hop veterans Fat Joe and Jadakiss—two pillars of New York rap—took listeners on a nostalgic journey through the golden era of Hip-Hop.

The discussion centered around the lasting impact of The Notorious B.I.G. on rap style and cadence during his meteoric rise in the mid-’90s, particularly how Biggie’s versatility influenced a generation of emcees to experiment with new flows and rhyme patterns.

As the conversation shifted to other innovators of that era, Fat Joe gave high praise to Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, the Cleveland-based group known for their rapid-fire, melodic delivery that broke traditional rap molds.

Joe highlighted their 1995 album E.1999 Eternal, calling it a game-changer and giving special mention to the Grammy-winning hit “Tha Crossroads,” which was a tribute to lost loved ones and became one of the most emotionally resonant rap singles of its time.

But while reciting some of Bone Thugs’ lyrics, Joe made a hilarious gaffe. Attempting to quote the famous line from “Tha Crossroads”—“I miss my Uncle Charles, y’all”—he instead belted out: “Let me tell you something, boy, I miss my Uncle George, y’all.”

That slip-up triggered a wave of laughter from Jadakiss and the audience, with Jada quickly jumping in to roast his co-host. “Called him George. Miss my Uncle George! It’s Uncle Charles,” Jada said, mocking Joe’s earnest but incorrect delivery.

“It’s Uncle Charles?!” Joe asked in disbelief before admitting defeat with a red-flag toss. Jada doubled down, further highlighting the error: “N***a missed Uncle George!”

Joe took it all in stride, joking about his memory lapses. “Hi, I’m Fat Joe. I’m a f**k-up, I’m a bugout. I change all the words… I can’t even memorize my own rhymes so imagine memorizing your rhymes or somebody else rhymes, I’ll f**k everybody’s sh*t up.”

He then pivoted to a proud moment in his career—helping connect Bone Thugs with Biggie to create the classic “Notorious Thugs.” “I got that Bone and Biggie done,” Joe recalled. “They had a relationship with Pac… I had to really convince them.”

Joe closed the segment by quoting Biggie’s double-time verse from the track and applauding his ability to adopt Bone Thugs’ flow. “Nobody was thinking about that flow at that time when he did it… Biggie was like you,” he told Jada, saluting both rappers’ flawless guest appearances.

What started as a lyrical flub turned into a heartfelt and humorous moment that captured the real magic of Joe and Jada: authenticity, laughter, and deep love for the culture.
