9. Fat Joe
As his stage name implies, Fat Joe doesn’t mind if people know him for his girth, as well as his talent. Fat Joe rose to fame in the early 2000s with associated acts like his late cousin Big Pun, who was also a rapper. Big Pun died from health-related issues that were connected to his weight, and this is part of the reason that Joe decided it was time to make some lifestyle changes. At one point, Fat Joe was more than 400 pounds, but by working out and exercising, he’s been able to cut his weight in half. He even states that he’s glad he’s inspiring others to do the same. We can even see the tone and definition in his face now (nice cheekbones, Joe). Looks like he’s going to have to come up with a new moniker, or he could just go with his lesser-known nickname, Joey Crack. SEE ALSO: 10 popular rappers with the most embarrassing first names
