Fat Joe performed before the World Series at Yankee Stadium and fans weren’t feeling it at all

Fat Joe Yankees World Series the World Series Yankee Stadium Mookie Betts Ice Cube

The Dodgers had Ice Cube perform before a World Series game and the Yankees countered with a performance from Fat Joe.

It was a nice thought from whoever booked the “Lean Back” rapper as he is from The Bronx and has enjoyed a successful music career. Sadly, however, it did not exactly go well for him at Yankee Stadium.

While wearing Timberland boots on the pitcher’s mound before Game 3, he sang “All The Way Up” and didn’t exactly get the warmest reaction. Despite calling himself the ghost of Babe Ruth and trying to hype the crowd, it was clear that the energy wasn’t really there.

After the game, David Ortiz said that it felt like a “funeral already” when the artist played his hit song.

This was probably a very cool moment for Fat Joe, who also performed during halftime of a WNBA Finals game between the Liberty and Lynx earlier this month.

But it didn’t quite resonate with those who were watching him.
