Attorney Claims Fat Joe’s Lawyer Is Ruining His Health in Conspiracy to Discredit Him

Attorney Tyrone Blackburn, who represents Terrance “T.A.” Dixon in a federal lawsuit against Fat Joe, has leveled serious allegations that Fat Joe’s legal team is orchestrating a smear campaign aimed at destroying his reputation and compromising his health. Blackburn says the pressure has pushed him into “severe medical distress.” 

What Blackburn Is Alleging

• Blackburn says the legal attacks go beyond standard litigation, claiming Fat Joe and his defense attorney Joe Tacopina have coordinated efforts to damage his public image, working “with law enforcement” to engineer arrest scenarios.  
• He states these actions have inflicted “substantial personal and reputational harm” and asserts that he is currently receiving medical treatment for conditions triggered by stress and pressure.  
• Blackburn also accuses Fat Joe’s side of using AI‑generated citations in legal motions and misrepresenting facts to turn public opinion against him.  
• He denies events used by Joe’s legal team as justification for arrests, calling some orchestrated setups to discredit him, including an incident where he allegedly struck a process server.  

Fat Joe & Tacopina’s Response

• Fat Joe has denied the allegations, calling Blackburn’s claims “false” and part of a conspiracy.  
• Tacopina has countered that Dixon and Blackburn’s lawsuit is a “blatant act of retaliation” and labeled their filings “bogus.” He also challenged the use of AI sources in Blackburn’s motions.  

Background & Stakes

• The dispute stems from the underlying federal lawsuit filed by Dixon in June 2025. He accuses Fat Joe of years of abuse, unpaid labor, withholding royalties, and coercion.  
• Fat Joe’s countersuit alleges defamation, emotional distress, and extortion.  
• The escalating war of words and tactics raises questions about ethics, legal boundaries, and personal harassment in high-stakes celebrity litigation.
