Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ close friend and associate Fat Joe, real name Joseph Cartagena, is being sued along with Jay-Z’s company Roc Nation. Read the 157 page complaint, filed on June 19, 2025. Yesterday, we covered the suspicious arrest of plaintiff Terrance Dixon’s attorney, Tyrone Blackburn.

Former Jay-Z Roc-a-Fella alum Choke No Joke, stated that he believes Jay-Z’s Roc Nation and their lawyer Joe Tacopina, are behind the attempted silencing of attorney Tyrone Blackburn. Fat Joe has a long, sordid history with both Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and Shawn Carter, better known as Jay-Z.

Roc Nation, or RICO Nation?

‘Fixer’ Attorneys Tacopina, Geragos, and Spiro

Given the allegations against Roc Nation, many critics are suspicious of the moves ‘fixer’ attorneys like Tacopina are making behind the scenes, in order to silence victims and their attorneys.

Following the arrest, Harvey Levin’s TMZ was quick to give Tacopina a platform to continue to assassinate Blackburn’s character. Tacopina has been a guest on Levin and Diddy attorney Mark Geragos’ podcast, 2 Angry Men, previously. Mark Geragos has also been accused of silencing victims and witnesses.

TMZ and Mark Geragos were singled out for admonishment by Judge Subramanian in Diddy’s federal trial. TMZ has been frequently referred to as Diddy’s propaganda machine by commentators.

Attorney Joe Tacopina has represented the likes of Diddy associate Meek Mill, and other rappers including A$AP Rocky.

Fellow Roc Nation attorney Alex Spiro (rhymes with pyromaniac), has been accused of a laundry list of alleged crimes, including “unauthorized practice of law,” impersonating law enforcement, and victim intimidation. Spiro is representing Roc Nation in Dixon’s lawsuit.
