Big Pun’s wife, Eliza Rios, says she is living in a NYC shelter with Pun’s children because she hasn’t gotten paid for anything since an initial $160,000 payment when Pun passed. She says Fat Joe hasn’t paid her any publishing and she hasn’t spoken to Joe or any “industry” people and hasn’t gotten what she and Pun’s children are owed.
Fat Joe quickly released a statement denying that he has done anything wrong and saying he has made no money off of Big Pun since his passing…
Immediately after Puns death I gave Liza Rios the whole advance of the Endangered Species album, NO ONE but Liza made a dollar off that album. I also gave her the total advance from the publishing company that was due to Big Pun.
I’ve never made a dollar off Big Pun since his passing. This was hundreds of thousands of dollars of frivolous spending, after the second payoff I washed my hands. Since then we have been through 6 lawyers, harassment on various radio stations and online mediums every time she needs more money. I also have legal documents stating that NO ONE is making money off of Big Pun.
I sympathize with Liza, but I have done already done enough for her. In these economic times we as parents need to be resilient and do what it takes to provide for our own families.

Fat Joe is the worst piece of shit ever. Both albums go triple platinum and she only gets 160 thousand. This guy sucks and the only reason he is around is because of Big Pun. He fucked over Cuban linx. Cuba is 10 times no 100 times better then fat fuck. There truly is no justice. The first Puerto Rican Rap artist to blow up and his kids are living like this. What a shame.
If you were an artist and you died, and your so called boys let your kids live in a shelter while they rich as shit how would you feel?
160 grand ain’t all that much if you got it 9 years ago. Shit if she spent 17 grand a year that dough would be gone by now.
Big Pun’s “Yeah Baby” was 3x Platinum and came out after he died but I guess no one made money off of that one , huh.
Y’all making her out to be a gold digger, but what do you call some dude keepin money that should go to your dead boy’s kids for yourself.
from what i know, when pun went, they were seperated and the only reason they spoke was the kids and that they were long term, crack owes her nuthin, if i give you $10 to fuck of don’t come back the next mornin askin for 5 more
looks like she spent the ‘hundreds of thousands of dollars’ on mcdonalds. She only just brought it up now which means she’s been fine since pun’s passing, but now she’s spent all the money she’s recieved and calls out for fat joe to give her money coz he made music with pun, get a job and look after your own family, your family are your responsibility. I’m sick of reading about women trying to make money off of rappers and successful people who have worked hard to get where they are
because he ows her puns royalties
someone fill me in. why would fat joe pay her?
lol looks like Fat Joe is at it again!
