Fat Joe hosted his annual Thanksgiving food drive today (Nov. 25) at his UP NYC Stores in Manhattan and the Bronx. The rapper teamed up with grocery stores Krasdale Foods, CTown and Bravo to provide Thanksgiving meal items and gift cards to about 2,000 underprivileged families.

Fat Joe delivered a lecture at Harvard University after being invited by former U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona. 🎓 During the discussion, Joe spoke on the importance of reinvention and pointed to his experience, evolving from a hardcore street rapper in the 90s to a hitmaker in the 2000s to an entrepreneur to a healthcare reform advocate and to a media personality. He also spoke about treating everyday like a job interview, explaining how interns he treated respectfully earlier in his career and how those same individuals evolved into key decision makers today and have helped propel him to success.
