The rumor mill has been buzzing lately about Fat Joe. The rumor going around was that the BX Terror Squad Don was dropped from his longtime home at Atlantic Records.
Due to a lack of hit records since "Lean Back" and disappointing sales of recent albums, rumors spread that the label had enough.
Well, those rumors can be laid to rest now. Label CEO and Chairman, Craig Kallman, said in a released statement that Joe isn't going anywhere.
"Fat Joe is an icon in the hip-hop community -- an artist, producer, writer, tastemaker, and entrepreneur with tremendous vision, influence, and creativity," said Kallman. "We are proud to have had Fat Joe as a member of the Atlantic family for the past eight years, and we are looking forward to continuing our great relationship with Joe and his Terror Squad label."
Fat Joe's last album, All Or Nothing, was a commercial failure, never reaching gold sales as many expected. In 2004, his group, Terror Squad, scored a smash hit with "Lean Back," but weren't able to match the success with the entire album, entitled True Story.
