Rapper Fat Joe has rolled out a brief yet thoughtful posting that has stirred up a great deal of speculation and admiration among his fans. The hip-hop icon came up with a very short phrase, “In real life, The immortals”, which made his followers react immediately and sparked off different threads going from his recent physical change to his playful style choices.

The post was made while Fat Joe still had a much slimmer look, an alteration in his body that had already generated some discussions among his fans for quite some time. The “immortals” thing he alluded to left it open for interpretation but the community rapidly occupied the gap with their own ideas and affirmations.
Rapper Juelz Santana reacted to Fat Joe’s message almost immediately, posting a very supportive comment, “U Been On Ya Ba Lately,” which was a witty use of the slang to acknowledge Joe’s once again high-level performance and presence. The comment received a large number of laughing emojis as replies, proving the good-natured interaction between the artists.
Another follower made reference to the classy era of Joe’s music by saying “Jealous ones still envy,” which was an intelligent nod to the rapper’s 2001 album “Jealous Ones Still Envy (J.O.S.E.).” The tribute to his discography was a sign of how much his audience feels close to his artistic history and they even keep it alive as he shares more intimate moments.
A humorous turn was taken when one user wrote, “Joe, those pants are too big on you now man, you gotta size down. Congrats bro, you’re looking good.” The poster of this comment pointed out that Fat Joe’s health journey results are very visible—his clothes now fitting him differently, which is indeed a positive problem that many who are cheering on his transformation were the first to point out.
One of the most candid remarks about his physical change came from a fellow who said, “No fat Joe, skinny Joe.” This blunt appraisal reveals how striking his modification has been from the viewpoint of those who have been following his career closely over the years.
Adding to the humor of the response, one comment initially written in Ukrainian said, “Oh come on, do they really exist? I need to find the elixir of immortality too, because life is flying by too fast.” This international reception indicates that Fat Joe’s message is being conveyed across languages and cultures similarly with the fans from all over the world, in terms of longevity and timelessness, connecting with the theme.
Another admirer tried to boost up the conversation with “Shoe em how it’s doneeeeeee Crack!” which was a play on Joe’s well-known catchphrase and used it to favor his style and impact.
Not only did the post bring forth some funny comments about his style but it also opened up a teasing situation with one person asking, “What happened Joe? They ain’t have your size but the coat was so 🔥 u copped anyway?” Such remarks together with the laughing emojis suggest that Joe’s bold and daring fashion sense is still very much alive, even though it sometimes has to compromise between fit and style.
Amidst the comments on the rapper’s style and health, one fan brought the focus back to the Bronx-native’s musical roots by posting the words, “The culture bx zip code 10456,” which unmistakably linked the Bronx-born artist with the hip-hop culture that he embodies and his original neighborhood as well.
The responses have covered quite a range—from calls for him to “Help DJ Khaled with his weight” to declarations that he is “Pure New York Joey 🐐” and all this simply shows the artist who is still very much connected to his audience. His casual post has turned out to be a means for the celebration of his journey, acknowledgment of his legacy, and appreciation of his relevance that is still going on.

The ability of Fat Joe to generate such a diverse conversation with just four words is proof of his continuous connection with the public. Be it the health transformation issue, musical legacy question, or merely the matter of his fashion choices, his fans are always very much and deeply engaged with every aspect of his public persona. Thus, the post becomes yet another proof of how the artist keeps growing while at the same time having that genuine connection—authenticity—that has marked his musical career right from the outset. This reminds many of Jesse Williams’ own powerful social media presence. He also recently shared a wild jail story about a correction officer.
