Fat Joe went all out for his 53rd birthday, celebrating in style aboard a $100 million superyacht cruising along the Hudson River in New York. The star-studded event brought together hip-hop legends like Mary J. Blige, Stephanie Mills, and Lil Kim, along with his longtime Terror Squad collaborator, Remy Ma, making it a night to remember.
No Fat Joe party would be complete without live performances, and this one was no exception. The legendary Babyface serenaded the crowd with “Given a Chance” from his 1989 album *Tender Lover*, setting the perfect mood. Remy Ma also took the mic for an impromptu performance, rapping Lil Kim’s verse from the “Quiet Storm” remix, which had the crowd on fire.
Fat Joe’s wife, Lorina Cartagena, was glowing with excitement as she mingled with guests. She stunned in a black double-breasted AREA tuxedo dress with sequin lapels, layered over a black lace bralette. Standing beside her husband, who rocked a mint green Pucci outfit, she completed her look with a dazzling Bulgari Serpenti diamond necklace worth $159,000.
Mary J. Blige embraced the Barbiecore trend in an all-pink Versace ensemble, featuring a structured corset and flared logo pants. She accessorized with her signature Van Cleef & Arpels layered bracelets, adding a touch of elegance. Meanwhile, Remy Ma turned heads in a bold, citrus-hued Athena dress from Honey Birdette, featuring chain details along the plunging neckline and a striking circular cutout.
Simone Smith, wife of LL Cool J, brought a sporty-chic vibe with a red-striped Gucci set, complete with voluminous pants cinched at the ankles. Channeling Erykah Badu with her red head wrap, she finished the look with gold hoop earrings, stacked bangles, and multicolored nails.
The night was a true celebration of hip-hop, fashion, and friendship, making Fat Joe’s 53rd birthday an unforgettable affair.
