His mother, Marie Del-Carmen Cartagena, has passed away, and Fat Joe is struggling to come to terms with the loss of the lady he referred to as his world.
On Saturday, the rapper paid respect to her life by posting a series of images and a touching statement on social media. A series of photos was also included in the tribute.
“This is a real one, may the woman who brought me into this world rest in peace,” he stated in his letter. Even though she didn’t have much, she made sure that we had everything.
Joe pondered on the resilience and commitment that his mother had shown to her family and the community. In spite of his financial success, he claims that she made the decision to continue living in the projects for a number of years because she had a profound affection for her neighbors.
According to Joe, who wrote the heartfelt message, she passed away due to a “broken heart.” This comes many months after the passing of her husband, Ernesto, who passed away in February. “My father wanted to have her with him. Joe stated, “I tried everything that was humanly possible on my end.”
In the last paragraph of the article, he made a significant commitment… “Mommy, until the day that I see you again, you were my existence, my heart, and all that I had. In the future, I will continue to wow you.
Fat Joe has, during the course of his career, discussed the strong relationship he has with his mother. On the occasion of her birthday, which took place in January, he referred to himself as a “momma’s boy” and lauded her for being a courageous person who triumphed over illness and supported him during each and every stage of his life.
