Fat Joe Cleared Of Sexual Assault Accusation

Police in Madison, Wisconsin have officially closed an investigation into Fat Joe and his entourage, over sexual assault allegations. A 33-year-old woman claimed that Fat Joe and men in his entourage groped her inside of the rapper's Cadillac limousine, as they prepared to leave The Orpheum Theater last Sunday (June 20th). According to a lawyer for Fat Joe, the rapper was the real victim in the case, since he never touched the woman and never had contact with her. Police questioned for Fat Joe for a few minutes in his hotel room and was never detained by the police. "Making a false claim of a sexual nature in order to extort money is one of the most horrific accusations because it not only tarnishes reputations but has the potential to destroy families," Fat Joe's lawyer Dawn Florio Esq. said in a statement. "Mr. Cartagena wholeheartedly thanks his family, friends, and fans for their continued support, loyalty, and words of encouragement throughout this ordeal."

"First of all, I'm humbled by everything. It hasn't really set in. It hasn't really registered," Drake told AllHipHop.com. "You know, we don't do too much celebrating, but I'm just thinking about the next win." Drake also spoke at length about Rihanna, Lil Kim, Nicki Minaj, his critics and plans for his new album. "Next album who knows, I think maybe next album we can do the release concert in Dubai and I will jump off a building and land into the back of a [Rolls Royce] Drophead Phantom," Drake told AllHipHop.com.
