Part 3/5:
Fat Joe emphasizes the remarkable qualities of his mother, describing her as having a "heart of gold." He shares that she was deeply connected to her community, showcasing her nurturing spirit and love for those around her. This portrayal paints a portrait of not just a mother to a famous rapper but a figure dedicated to her family and community.
A Heart Broken by Grief
The emotional weight of Fat Joe’s post is further magnified as he reveals that he believes his mother succumbed to what he describes as a "broken heart." Just months before her passing, Fat Joe's father, Ernesto, passed away in February. With the couple having shared a life for over 60 years, the loss of her husband understandably took a toll on Marie’s emotional and physical wellbeing.
