Fabolous recently sat down with MTV News’ Rob Markman to discuss the origin of his name and to talk about the first time he freestyled for DJ Clue.
During the 3-minute chat, Fab reminisced on the time he had a meeting with DJ Clue at the Hot 97 studios, where he thought he was just going to chop it up and spit a freestyle for him, but instead was thrown straight on the air and asked to freestyle live with Noreaga.
He also explains that he had no intentions of using “Fabolous” as his rap name, but after DJ Clue introduced him as that on the air, the rest was history.
Watch the interview above, and be sure to listen to Fab’s latest #FridayNightFreestyle “Quiet Storm”.
