Liza Rios, Big Pun’s widow has recently said that financial woes have forced her and her kids to live in a city shelter. Rios says that she received $160k in royalties from her late husband’s music,but that those funds were quickly used up in mortgage payments and childcare.

And then today, The Life Files posted a response from Fat Joe:

“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.”

-ok  so heres the question do you feel fatjoe still owes it to bigpuns wife and children?
