Shocking Accusation: Fake Citations in Court Filing
Hip-hop star Fat Joe has filed a court response in his ongoing defamation case, accusing his attorney Tyrone Blackburn of submitting a motion to dismiss filled with AI-generated, bogus legal citations. His legal team claims there are “at least ten instances” of “hallucinated” case law—references that either don’t exist or misquote real decisions.
Mistakes Suggest a Pattern, Not Accident
Fat Joe’s attorneys argue this is not a one-time mishap. Blackburn, they state, has a history of filing papers that contain misleading or fabricated legal authority, leading to court reprimands in past cases.
Fat Joe Seeks Sanctions and Justice
Because of the alleged misconduct, Fat Joe is urging the judge to:
- Reject Blackburn’s motion to dismiss
- Impose court sanctions
- Ensure the defamation case moves forward—to hold all parties accountable
Context: High-Stakes Legal Battle
This accusation comes amid a bitter legal feud. Fat Joe initially filed a defamation lawsuit against his former hype man, Terrance “T.A.” Dixon, and Blackburn, citing extortion and false allegations of sexual misconduct. Dixon also countersued, with explosive claims related to sexual abuse and exploitation—making this conflict one of the most complicated and public in recent hip-hop legal history.
