On the red carpet, Fat Joe told BOSSIP what viewers can expect from this year’s show.
“Just energy and positive vibes. It won’t be so much of a funny thing but it’ll be a strong message behind what I do. So I take the approach of being the eldest statement, the OG of the game that you can still vibe with. So I’m trying to let that flow through your television. I’m honored to be here and be the host of the Hip Hop Awards. Ima do my thing!”
