In a recent episode of the Joe and Jada podcast, rapper Fat Joe ignited controversy by calling fellow artist French Montana “delusional” regarding his contributions to the hit track “All the Way Up.” The song, which features Remy Ma and was released in 2016, has been celebrated for its commercial success and Grammy nomination but has also been mired in disputes over credit and contributions.

During the podcast, Fat Joe humorously accused French Montana of exaggerating his role in the creation of the song, suggesting that Montana takes undue credit for its success. “You know your man French Montana, that illusional man,” Joe remarked, playfully referencing Montana’s claims about his influence on the track. He continued, “That boy be talking about, yo, it was that golden voice. I was like, yo, French. He just takes too much credit for it, right? He’s like, yo, that voice. I’m like, it was the voice. Yo, French, thank you for making us hot.”

The playful jabs come amid ongoing tensions surrounding the track’s credits. Since its release, “All the Way Up” has not only dominated the charts but has also been at the center of a legal dispute involving Miami rapper Fly Havana. Havana has filed a lawsuit against both Fat Joe and French Montana, claiming that he was unfairly excluded from receiving credit and profits from the hit single.

The situation reflects broader issues within the music industry regarding collaboration and credit allocation, particularly in successful projects that bring together multiple artists. As “All the Way Up” continues to resonate with audiences, the discussions surrounding its creation and the contributions of each artist involved are unlikely to fade away.

As the discourse evolves, fans are left to wonder how these revelations will impact the relationships between the artists and the future of their collaborations. For now, Fat Joe’s comments add a new layer to the ongoing narrative surrounding one of hip-hop’s most iconic tracks in recent years.
