Fat Joe shared a heartfelt message via Facebook on his son Joey. Joey has special needs and Fat Joe expressed his love and how privileged he is to be his father.

“I’m very private with my first born. Joey is special kid full of joy and Love. there’s no way you could understand unless you have a family member who has challenges in life.  He’s my angel and the reason for all my blessings. I Love him to death ‪#‎godisgreat.”

Fat Joe then opened up to UrbLife Magazine about being a dad to a child with special needs.

“My oldest son is Joey, he’s 18. When I had him I was very young. I love my son dearly, but I didn’t feel like I was ready to have kids at the time. From time to time I told my mom and dad they should have educated me on the responsibilities of having a kid.  He was a special needs child, I raised him with my parents. His mom couldn’t handle him, and instead of him going to a center we raised him all of his life. I had to learn the responsibilities of being a parent the hard way.”
