In his infamous style, Fat Joe keeps playing what may rightly be called an ace, insisting that he isn’t the king of the caps. Joe and his co-host Jada had all the fans laughing madly when Joe passionately defended his character in a recent show. The viral moment turned full circle, with fans just bursting into laughter while some would resurrect tall bales about some of Joe’s most controversial cases.

In the clip, Joe grabs his hat theatrically, declaring the show proved that he is not “Sir Capillac.” He referred to the infamous instance of him stating that 50 Cent lost a Grammy to “herbal essence” and not to Evanescence. Social media went crazy with Joe calling that rock band by the name of a shampoo brand over and over again. One user wrote: “Herbal Essence is frying me!!” Another gave: “Joe oooooooverly exaggerates but we love it.”

The real treasure trove indexed when the wilder tales started to be recited. One commenter wanted to know how Joe allegedly robbed his high school gym of 70 people, hoarding no weapons. The tale has followed Joe ever since, with some stating the thing is impossible while a few had, also, pointed out that no one has actually denied it might have happened at all. Another fan brought up Joe’s book where he claims the feds took off with 27 cars belonging to his brother. “27 cars b? need him to verify that one,” the user exclaimed as they bursting out laughing.

Clearly, the Herbal Essence incident hit the sweet spot for everyone, with numerous commenters not getting over the shampoo mix-up. “It’s the fact that Joe INSISTS on calling Evanescence, Herbal Essence,” one wrote. Another joked: “Herbal Essence is Insanity,” followed by crying emojis. Even Jada had to laugh along with Joe during his delivery in the first clip.

Fans got creative in comparing Joe to fictional characters well known for their wacky tales. “I’m convinced Joey is Chuck-E from Fresh as an adult,” one person wrote as an obvious homage to the 90s hood classic. Others just admire Joe’s storytelling skills, with one saying, “Joe not a liar…But Crack will DEFINITELY spice Up story ReMIX.”

That very debate is indicative of how Fat Joe will forever be a favorite to many for his larger-than-life presence just as much as for his music. Whether he is actually capping or does have a way of remembering all the nitty-gritty of those crazy tales, we just cannot get enough of him. One comment said it all: “Fat Joe is a National Treasure that must be protected at all costs.”

Herbal essence could just make it as one of the trademarks of Joe’s music, as his doubling down on the wrong-flavor name shows how committed he is to the bit, whether intentionally or unintentionally. And let’s face it: A guy like Joe, who has seen and done it all for over two decades, has earned the right to spin his own tales his own way. The man gave us Lean Back, after all, and turned Terror Squad into a household name; if he wants to say 50 lost to shampoo instead of a rock band, who are we to contradict him?
