Fat Joe is facing a lawsuit from his former hypeman Terrance “T.A.” Dixon, accusing him of “coercive labor exploitation, financial fraud, sexual manipulation, violent intimidation, and psychological coercion.” Dixon also claims that as the rapper (real name Joseph Antonio Cartagena) rose to fame he suppressed, silenced, and erased Dixon’s contributions to his success. He’s seeking $20 million in damages.
