For 16 years, Dixon served as Fat Joe’s so-called hypeman, a common figure in hip-hop who supports the artist by energizing the crowd and enhancing the overall performance. According to the complaint, he had an unrivaled vantage point to observe the rapper’s off-stage lifestyle and behavior.
Dixon states in the complaint that Fat Joe forced him “into humiliating situations, including sex acts performed under duress and surveillance, accompanied by threats of abandonment in foreign countries if [he] refused compliance.” By his own estimation, Dixon states in the suit that “he was coerced into more than 4,000 sexual acts to maintain his standing within the Enterprise.”
Most shockingly, the suit claims that Dixon “personally witnessed [Fat Joe] engage in sexual relations with children who were fifteen and sixteen years old” and lists three such Jane Does including a 16-year-old Dominican girl in New York, who “in exchange for cash, clothing, and payment of her cell phone bill … would [perform] oral sex and other sexual acts” on the rapper. Minor Doe 2 is a Caucasian female and not a United States citizen.
“[Fat Joe] began having sexual relations with Minor Doe 2 when she was 15 years old after a concert overseas. Defendant flew Minor Doe 2 to New York City and Miami, Florida, on multiple occasions. Due to Minor Doe 2’s body being adolescent and not fully formed, Defendant paid for her to get a Brazilian Butt Lift. Minor Doe 2 eventually left Defendant and is now married to a professional athlete,” the complaint says. Minor Doe 3 is a Latina female who “met the defendant when she was 15 years old, turning 16.”
According to Dixon, “Defendant was in love with Minor Doe 3. He even contemplated leaving his wife. The Defendant paid all Minor Doe 3’s bills and even took her overseas to his tour stops. He brought her to Florida and would put her up in a condo he rented a few blocks from his house with his wife,” the lawsuit states. “In a recorded conversation, Minor Doe 3 and her 15-year-old cousin describe in detail to Plaintiff how ‘inappropriate’ it was for Defendant, who was in his late 30s at the time, to be fawning over children.”
Dixon’s suit against Fat Joe goes much further than his social media posts and states that he endured “a wide spectrum of sexual coercion, psychological control, forced exhibitionism, and surveillance-based humiliation, including being compelled to perform sex acts under observation, being filmed, or directed by [Fat Joe] in the presence of others — tactics designed to control Plaintiff’s body, erode his autonomy, and ensure silence.”
It adds: “These sex-based abuses were not private, incidental, or isolated. They were integral to the enterprise’s culture of dominance and humiliation, enforced by Defendant’s associates such as Pistol Pete, JB, and others, and sustained across numerous tour locations.
Dixon claims that the activity took place on Market America’s corporate yacht and at its mansion properties, where Fat Joe “orchestrated repeated orgies involving Plaintiff, female dancers and minors.” The lawsuit adds that Fat Joe used his status as a hip-hop star to compel Dixon and others into “degrading sexual performances,” often while Fat Joe watched, recorded, or directed the encounters.
“These incidents occurred under conditions that included the presence of corporate security staff, surveillance cameras, and Defendant’s management entourage, yet no intervention occurred, supporting the inference that these acts were facilitated by — and covered up by — the broader enterprise and its affiliates.”
“[Dixon] did not willingly consent to participate in these acts; instead, Plaintiff submitted solely out of fear of immediate retaliation, which Defendant repeatedly demonstrated would include financial punishment, professional sabotage, abandonment in foreign countries, or physical harm.”
The suit claims that Fat Joe also issued veiled death threats and witness intimidation via direct messages such as “You love your family, right?” “Fall back in 48 hours” and “We let you live.”
