Overview

  • The 157-page federal complaint alleges Fat Joe forced Dixon into over 4,000 coerced sexual acts and witnessed the rapper’s sex with three minors aged 15 to 16.
  • Dixon claims he was systematically denied songwriting credits and fair royalties while Roc Nation aided in concealing his authorship rights.
  • The suit invokes civil RICO and human trafficking statutes as Dixon seeks $20 million for financial fraud, psychological coercion, and forced labor.
  • Fat Joe’s attorney Joe Tacopina has filed a defamation and extortion countersuit, calling the claims fabricated and accusing Dixon’s lawyer of courtroom theatrics.
  • Both lawsuits are pending before the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, where each side will present evidence.
