Terrance “T.A.” Dixon, the former hype man for Fat Joe, told a federal judge he has four audio recordings that support his explosive $20 million lawsuit against the Bronx rapper.
The former hype man filed his own lawsuit in June 2025, accusing Fat Joe of orchestrating a long-running criminal enterprise that involved sex trafficking, intimidation and financial fraud.
Dixon claims he was forced into thousands of sex acts in front of Fat Joe and his entourage, often under threat or psychological pressure. He also alleges he was denied songwriting credits and royalties for his work on several of Fat Joe’s commercially released tracks.
The suit further accuses Fat Joe and his associates of violating the RICO Act, alleging they used violence and threats to maintain control.
Dixon also says Fat Joe defrauded tax authorities and subjected him to unjust audits by misreporting income and hiding royalty payments.
Fat Joe vehemently denied all of the allegations.

“If you get fired for doing something wrong, just take the L and live with it. But instead, they plot on your downfall as they watch you move on with your life. They decide to go after one of the things you value the most – your reputation. They figure they can make up the most insane stories and, if they threaten you with a lawsuit, then you’ll pay and they’ll feel like they finally won. Problem with your theory, I’ve never let anyone on the streets extort me, so how would I ever let a crooked attorney and a coward ex-hype man extort me?? I’m from the Bronx,” Fat Joe said.
“Mr. Tyrone Blackburn attorney at law since you want the clout, we will finish you in court. The time of lawyers using their law license as a badge to extort people and destroy families with no evidence is over!! I’m not the one!! You’ve messed with the wrong one this time!!” Fat Joe added.
Jay-Z’s Roc Nation is also named in the lawsuit, accused of helping conceal Dixon’s authorship rights and pressuring him to drop his claims. Fat Joe’s attorney, Joe Tacopina, has denied all allegations, calling them “retaliatory lies” and “extortionate demands.”
The court is currently reviewing the letter and has not yet ruled on whether the recordings will be admitted as evidence.
