There have been rumors going around that Papoose punched Fat Joe backstage at a North Carolina concert over the weekend and left him with a black eye. Fat Joe has responded to those rumors saying that the photo of him was doctored and is from a year ago at a Knicks game. As you will see in this video, Joe doesn’t have a black eye.

See the doctored photo here and the original photo here.

Fat Joe’s new album The Elephant in the Room, or as 50 Cent calls it The Elephant in the Sand, hits stores March 11th.
