‘Fat Joe Talks’: STARZ Drops Official Teaser & Release Date For New Interview Series

Fat Joe is taking his charismatic storytelling to cable TV.

The Bronx MC’s weekly interview series Fat Joe Talks with STARZ is set to premiere Friday, Oct. 4 and his first guest will be fellow rap legend Method Man. They’ll be talking about the Staten Island rapper’s storied rap career and his successful transition into Hollywood as the two legends visit hometown landmarks that are meaningful to him. Method Man currently stars in Power Book II: Ghost as lawyer Davis MacLean, a role that has earned him three NAACP Image Awards.

In a press release, Joe shared his excitement in having the opportunity to host his talk show. “I’ve been preparing all my life for the moment to host my own show and it’s finally here,” he said. “We are going to make history and I’m grateful to STARZ, Embassy Row and SpringHill for believing in the vision. I’m looking forward to showing another side of my personality and having compelling conversations with some of the world’s most influential leaders and entertainers. Get your popcorn ready.”

He’s made a name for himself as a storyteller over the years, especially on social media where his breakdowns of events like the epic Verzuz between The LOX and The Diplomats have gone viral and turned into memes; most notably the saying, “Yesterday’s price is not today’s price.”

Fat Joe Talks is executive produced by Fat Joe, LeBron James, Maverick Carter, Philip Byron, and Jamal Henderson for SpringHill, along with Michael Davies for Embassy Row. Some of the featured guests will include Mary J. Blige, Democratic House Majority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, T.I., Babyface, Latto, Buju Banton, and Remy Ma, with more to be announced soon.

New episodes will be released every Friday on the STARZ app at midnight and will premiere on linear television at 9 p.m. ET with a runtime of 30 minutes.
