A Shocking New Lawsuit Hits the Hip-Hop World
The music industry is reeling as legendary rapper Fat Joe faces disturbing allegations reminiscent of the recent Diddy scandal. Terrence Dixon, Fat Joe’s former hype man, writer, vocalist, and tour manager from 2005 to 2022, has filed a federal lawsuit accusing the rapper of a wide range of serious crimes. The lawsuit lists RICO violations, sex trafficking (TVPA), mail and wire fraud, unjust enrichment, emotional distress, and more. Dixon claims years of psychological, financial, and sexual abuse, alongside wage theft and coercion under the guise of business operations.
Inside the Allegations of Coercion and Exploitation
According to the lawsuit, Dixon alleges he contributed to over 20 songs, including hits like All the Way Up and Congratulations, yet was never credited or compensated. Beyond financial exploitation, the complaint outlines horrifying allegations of sexual coercion used to maintain control—where compliance with abusive orders was tied directly to survival, travel, and income. In multiple instances, Dixon claims he was forced to perform sexual acts under threat of retaliation, filmed and humiliated in front of others, and constantly monitored through surveillance.
Violent Intimidation and Threats Revealed in Audio
The lawsuit includes chilling audio recordings suggesting an active plot to retaliate against Dixon after he began asserting his rights. In a call between Fat Joe’s enforcer Pistol Pete and an associate, threats were made about “lining up” Dixon—implying a potential violent ambush. Dixon says these threats followed a pattern of intimidation he endured while part of the Terror Squad, including being stranded overseas and denied shelter. He also claims Fat Joe’s organization used coded language like “Corbin” (meaning “put in a casket”) and “Cowpie” (meaning “slap”) as part of an organized system of fear and discipline.
Trafficking, Underage Victims, and Industry Silence
Among the most disturbing claims, Dixon alleges that Fat Joe engaged in relationships with underage girls, referring to them as “Minions” in his inner circle. One 15-year-old was allegedly flown overseas for surgery and kept under Joe’s control. Another minor is said to have inspired explicit lyrics in the track She’s My Mama. Additionally, Dixon accuses Joe of covering up statutory rape involving producer Dre and silencing victims using burner phones. With recordings, documents, and alleged witness testimony already in play, this lawsuit could expose deeper systemic abuse. As the public awaits Fat Joe’s response, the industry remains uncharacteristically quiet—raising questions about who else might be implicated.
