Fat Joe Weighs In On 50 Cent War With Candy Shop Confession

Rap heavyweight [Fat Joe](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/fat-joe) is still scratching his head over 50 CENT's attack on him on new track PIGGY BANK - because he helped produce his fellow New Yorker's megahit [Candy Shop](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/candy-shop).

The rapper and producer pal [Scott Storch](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/scott-storch) were working on the follow up to last summer's (04) LEAN BACK smash-hit when they came up with the beats for what became Candy Shop.

And when 50 came calling for a new tune, Fat Joe decided to let him have his new tune.

He tells rap magazine XXL, "I'm pretty sure the world don't know we actually produced Candy Shop together. I produced it with him (Storch), made the intro, put the sounds together.

"I figured at the time Lean Back was popping so Scott called me like 50 times, 100 times: 'Yo, you sure you don't want to use it? 50 Cent called me. 50 Cent want it.'

"I never had a problem with this dude. I was like, 'Go ahead.' The next day, I get in there and hear Candy Shop... Sometimes you know beats ain't for you."

Now Joe is accusing 50 of being "touchy" for getting upset about his involvement in [Ja Rule](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/ja-rule)'s NEW YORK anthem and video.

He adds, "He feels like anybody that rocks with Ja Rule is his enemy. But I never thought it would bother him or affect him.

"He's (50 Cent) a little n\*\*ga to me. He can never be me. All this fast success and all this money, I don't look at him as no superhero."
