‘Oprah’ Weight Loss Show Inspired Fat Joe

ContactMusic.com reports that Fat Joe is crediting ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show’ for his recent loss of 80 pounds, after the talk show queen featured a weight loss special prompting the rapper to make his 2004 New Year’s resolution weight loss and lower blood pressure. “All of (the people on ‘Oprah’) lost like 100 pounds,” he explained. “I was like, ‘Oh my God, I gotta get on this diet’.” Joey Crack added, “What really scares me the most is that I really love to eat. Me being Puerto Rican and not eating rice and beans – it’s hard!”
