Fat Joe is also gearing up to hit the stage for another project. The rapper, who recently exclusively told Rock The Bells he doesn't plan on releasing any new music any time soon, is set to star in a one-man stand-up show. The theatrical experience is based on his upcoming memoir, The Book of Jose, and will include unfiltered, never-before-heard anecdotes about the rapper's life and career – from the time he spent in prison a decade ago to that time he was kidnapped in Angola, Africa.
“The world will be getting Fat Joe at his most authentic, vulnerable, and comedic self on that stage,” Joe said in a press release. “I’m not holding anything back. I’ve always taken pride in my storytelling, but we’re about to take it to the next level."
As for the BET Hip-Hop Awards, they will be taped from Cobb Energy Center in Atlanta, GA, on Friday, September 30. The show will air Tuesday, October 4, at 9 p.m. EST on BET.
