Fat Joe Calls Daddy Yankee A 'Sellout' For Endorsing John McCain It’s always nice to see rappers clash over politics. It’s way cooler than fighting over a chain. The latest hip-hop political battle features Fat Joe and Daddy Yankee. The Don Cartagena told MTV he’s not happy with his fellow boricua for endorsing Republican presidential candidate John McCain. Joe thinks Yankee is high on McCain’s gasolina or not being sincere.”Just like that! I gotta go in. I’m talking to little cousins that like [Yankee] and all that, and they’re starting to believe that John McCain is [the best candidate]. I can’t have that.
“I opened the newspaper and got sick to my stomach. I felt like I wanted to vomit when I seen that. The reason why I called him a sellout is because I feel he did that for a [publicity] look, rather than the issues that are affecting his people that look up to him. How could you want John McCain in office when George Bush and the Republicans already have half a million people losing their homes in foreclosure? We’re fighting an unjust war. It’s the Latinos and black kids up in the frontlines, fighting that war. … We over here trying to take the troops out of Iraq and bring peace. This guy immediately wants war. If not with Iraq or Afghanistan, he’ll start a new one with Iran. I feel real disgusted that Daddy Yankee would do that. Either he did that for a look, or he’s just not educated on politics.”
