Fat Joe had some strong words of endorsement following Ross' viral car show.

Fat Joe has become the recent artist to pour out support for Rick Ross following his successful car show. The show was attended by a number of high-profile rappers including Tyler, The Creator, Diddy, and 2 Chainz. Just a few days ago Ross announced the winners of some prized chains that were given away during the event. Fat Joe had some praise for the event and Rick Ross himself afterward. In a video posted to Instagram, he shouted out the hustle Ross showed in turning his own home into a multi-million dollar event.

"He created something out of nothing that's in his own house" Joe says in a video on his Instagram. "He makes millions of dollars once a year" he adds. To be clear, those numbers are an estimation on Joe's part. It follows an estimation that "millions" of people showed up to the event, which is likely an exaggeration. "All I'm really looking at is the money" Fat Joe's video concludes. It's unclear exactly how much Ross ultimately made but given how much discussion has surrounded the event.

Fat Joe's High Praise For Rick Ross

One of the most talked about moments from the show came when an uninvited guest parachuted into it. His response to the fan's bold move went viral as fans were shocked at how positive he was. He was also praised by local authorities for how the event was handled. Fat Joe isn't even the only celebrity recently to go out of his way to praise Ross publicly. Just a few days ago in an Instagram video, Diddy shouted out Rick Ross for many of the same reasons. While it's not clear if this cosign also resulted from the car show or not, Diddy was in attendance.

Fat Joe has also had quite a bit to say on social media recently. Last week he called out fans online who didn't believe his story about putting Biggie and Bone-Thugs in the studio together. In the video, he claims to have receipts and points to some people who could potentially back him up. A few days later he also claimed that he still listens to Biggie's music every day. What do you think of Fat Joe's comments regarding Rick Ross? Let us know in the comment section below.
