Posted by Fat Joe saw his fashion sense get flamed last week when he stepped out in public wearing a pair of Kanye West’s calf-grazing “pillow space boots,” officially known as the adidas Yeezy NSTLD Boot.
Joey Crack was roasted from here to the Bronx, with fans and fellow rappers alike poking fun at his outfit. “Wow u really live a life naw but for real!” DJ Khaled joked in his Instagram comments section, while N.O.R.E. told him he “went too far.”
But the jokes haven’t stopped flying.

On Wednesday (February 2), the red-hot Memphis Grizzlies rolled into town and faced off against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden, where Fat Joe enjoyed a courtside seat.
Unfortunately for the Terror Squad rapper, he ended up enduring a front-row seat to a defeat as the Grizzlies beat the Knicks by a score of 120 to 108 thanks to big-game performances from Ja Morant, Jaren Jackson Jr. and Ziaire Williams.
Fat Joe Responds To Yeezy Boot Backlash: ‘What The Fuck You Mean By Dress Your Age?’
The loss means the Knicks now sit in 12th place in the Eastern Conference with a record of 24-28 as they head into a tough five-game stretch out West against the Los Angeles Lakers, Utah Jazz and Golden State Warriors and more.

Following the game, the Memphis Grizzlies added insult to injury at Fat Joe’s expense. The franchise’s social media team posted an edited version of Joe’s Yeezy boots photo on Twitter and Instagram with giant “L”s slapped across his khaki-colored shoes.
They also photoshopped the Knicks logo onto his jacket while mocking New Yorkers’ “YERRRRRRR” greeting.

Fat Joe has yet to respond to the Grizzlies’ taunt, but he may see the funny side of it. The “Lean Back” rapper actually joined in on the fun when his outfit was getting roasted last week by posting several memes on his own Instagram page.
“Nah y’all gotta relax,” he wrote while sharing images of him superimposed into scenes from Star Wars, Mad Max and Interstellar.

Joey Crack later addressed the backlash to his fashion sense during an Instagram Live interview with Brian “B. Dot” Miller, claiming he doesn’t see anything wrong with the way he dresses.
“What the fuck do y’all mean by, ‘Dress your age?’” he asked. “I don’t know if you know this, I’ve been so fly that it’s, like, working against me now. I’m getting backlash for being so fly … I wanna know why I can’t be fresh. Those Yeezy boots are sold out.”
