Rapper Fat Joe sued over alleged s*xual abuse of underage girls, calls claims false

Joseph Antonio Cartagena, famously known by his stage name Fat Joe, is embroiled in a major lawsuit. His former hype man, Terrance ‘T.A.’ Dixon, filed a $20 million lawsuit against him on June 19 for alleged s*exual abuse of underage girls.

As per Dixon's statement, he says he saw the rapper getting intimate with young girls, reportedly two minors, around 15 to 16 years old. According to TMZ, one of them was reportedly a Caucasian girl, while the other was a Dominican girl.

According to the outlet, Dixon's lawyer, Tyrone A. Blackburn, claimed that the Dominican girl was made to do s*xual acts for Fat Joe in return for money and other necessities. The filing also says Joe met the other girl during a trip abroad and later paid for her to get cosmetic surgery, a Brazilian Butt Lift.

Along with the two minors, Terrance Dixon also mentioned a young Latina girl whom Fat Joe had feelings for when she was reportedly 15 years old. The case has gained attention because of its involvement in serious claims about underage girls.

However, Fat Joe has denied all the claims, calling them completely false and made up. As per Joe's lawyer, Joe Tacopina, these charges are:

"Lies intended to damage his reputation and force a settlement through public pressure"

According to TMZ, the DJ also said that Joe forced him to be intimate with women while not paying him properly or giving him credit and royalties for his work. The lawsuit also claims that Dixon was forced to be involved in over 4,000 s*xual acts.
