It’s “Safe 2 Say” Fat Joe is a top contender for this year’s father of the year award.
The Bronx rapper, 50, is set to speak alongside Brooklyn Borough President and NYC mayoral hopeful Eric Adams in the second annual March of Dads Sunday. The “Dope Dad” rally, organized by the global nonprofit The Dad Gang, is set to begin at 10 a.m. in Prospect Park, according to the group’s Instagram.
“I’m always in tune with my community,” the “Lean Back” rapper told Page Six. “I’m always knowing what’s going on. I’m a father. I’m a father of three, my oldest son is autistic. We raised them ourselves, you know?”
Joe — father to two sons Ryan and Joey plus daughter Azariah, 15 — said he’s “proud of all the dads and all the fathers.” His respect for fatherhood is what influenced him to participate in the rally Sunday, so much so that he’s flying to Miami to visit his own father following the march.
“That’s how important this is for me to show my face out there,” he said.
This proud dad isn’t afraid to show off his family on social media, posting photos of his brood all together. Instead of material gifts, this Father’s Day, all Joe expects from his family is a “dad I love you” and mutual appreciation.
“I love my kids,” he says. “I love seeing them grow, you know, and go through different stages in life.”

Apparently, it’s mutual: Joe shared how the other day, his daughter rubbed his feet for the first time, which he immediately bragged about to everyone.
“I could not believe that the young lady felt comfortable [enough] to rub her dad’s feet,” he said.
The rapper does acknowledge that parenting is complicated. But he and his wife of 26 years, Lorena Cartagena, have been able to make it work together.
Asked about the secret to the two’s longtime relationship, the rapper laughed and said “she’s always right. I think that’s the biggest thing.”
