Fat Joe is coming clean about his serious Diet Pepsi habit.
During the July 22 episode of his Joe and Jada podcast, the rapper got candid while chatting with guests N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN. The group discussed the friendly rivalry between their shows — Joe and Jada and Drink Champs — when Joe turned the conversation toward health.
After jokingly asking N.O.R.E. if his team was keeping him “healthy” despite all the drinking on Drink Champs, Joe admitted he’s got his own vice — Diet Pepsi. And not just a little.
“I’m not a doctor. I don’t give a f***. I drink too many Diet Pepsis,” he confessed. “Very, very much. I got a problem. Thirty to forty a day.”

The “Lean Back” rapper didn’t hold back, adding that if a doctor ever told him he had a health issue because of his soda intake, he’d accept it.
“I got to just be like, ‘I knew I was just doing too much with them Diet Pepsis,’” Joe said. But even then, he admitted, he wouldn’t quit.
The moment he’d leave the doctor’s office? “Immediately” cracking open another Diet Pepsi.
“They’re not stopping me,” he added. “I was in jail with a thousand Diet Pepsis.”
This isn’t the first time Fat Joe’s soda obsession has come up. In a 2023 list of “What Fat Joe Can’t Live Without,” he referred to his habit in the past tense: “I used to be really addicted to diet soda, especially Diet Pepsi. I’d drink maybe 20 a day.”
Interestingly, back in 2020, he told GQ his go-to diet soda wasn’t even Diet Pepsi—it was Diet Coke. “I go through a lot of these a day,” he said at the time.
