Fat
Joe
took
to
Instagram
to
cop
pleas
for
securing
a
pair
of
Donald
Trump’s
Insurrection-worthy
sneakers.
Needless
to
say,
the
social
media
sneaker
community
was
not
pleased,
and
they
let
him
know.
It
goes
without
saying
that
Fat
Joe
is
one
of
sneaker
culture’s
most
prominent
members,
and
had
a
hand
in
boosting
its
popularity
when
he
famously
licked
a
pair
of
soles
back
in
2004
on
an
episode
of
MTV
Cribs.
With
this
in
mind,
Joe
Crack
took
to
IG
to
explain
that
he
is
in
no
way
a
Trump
supporter,
but
he
felt
obligated
to
cop
a
pair
of
January
6’s
because
he’s
a
“collector.”
“If
you
collect
art,
do
you
really
know
what
Basquiat
was
into?”
said
Joe.
“Do
you
know
what
Andy
Warhol
was
into?
Any
of
these
artists
that
you
was
into?
You
love
the
art,
so
you
get
it.
I
guess
they
separate
art
from
the
person.”
Okay.
The
Bronx
rapper’s
rationale
didn’t
improve
as
he
went
on,
respectfully.
He
added,
“Now,
me
as
a
sneaker
collector,
I
had
to
get
my
hand
on
the
Trumps.
But
listen,
I
have
thousands
and
thousands
and
thousands
of
pairs
of
sneakers.
When
everybody
flipped
on
Kanye,
I
went
and
bought
the
two
most
exclusive
Kanyes
ever.”
Again,
okay.
And
just
for
good
measure,
he
said,
“Once
again,
I’m
not
a
Trumper.
I
dislike
Trump.
I’m
not
voting
for
him,
not
now,
not
never,
but
I’m
a
sneaker
collector
into
the
art.”
Joe
also
made
sure
to
mention
that
he
didn’t
pay
for
the
kicks,
so
there’s
that.
This
is
where
we
gotta
mention
that
there’s
a
difference
between
art
and
kitsch.
A
constant
criticism
is
that
Trump
is
the
same
guy
who
was
tossing
paper
towels
at
Puerto
Ricans
like
it
a
game
after
a
who
hurricane
wrecked
much
of
the
island.
Peep
reactions
to
Fat
Joe
copping
Trump’s
Scammer
1’s
in
the
gallery.
