Fat Joe and Stephen A. Smith to Link Up for Apollo Conversation

Fat Joe is slated to sit down with ESPN First Take host Stephen A. Smith for what’s being touted as an “unguarded conversation” next month.

The event, formally billed as The Apollo Presents In Conversation: Fat Joe, will take place on Nov. 15 and is part of the larger rollout behind The Book of Jose. Joe’s memoir, penned with Shaheem Reid, is being released through the Random House imprint Roc Lit 101. As previously reported, the imprint was launched back in 2020 and was at the time said to also have a “fantasy fiction” project on the way from Lil Uzi Vert.

Tickets for the conversation at Apollo’s Historic Theater are currently on sale and start at $40. Hit this link for additional info.

When announcing his new book back in April, Fat Joe said readers could expect him to go deep on some of the “darkest moments” from his life and career in The Book of Jose.

“It explores the darkest moments of my life—brushes with death, being locked up, losing friends, and dealing with depression—that shaped me as a man,” he said at the time. “I overcame significant adversity but I’m excited to be in a position to share my story and inspire others through my journey.”
