Fat Joe Gives Approval To Ukrainian Soldiers Playing ‘Lean Back’

On Thursday, New York rapper Fat Joe posted a now viral clip of several Ukrainian soldiers listening to “Lean Back.” On Instagram, Fat Joe captioned the video, “Ukrainian soldiers getting hype to Lean Back GOD BLESS.” The soldiers appeared to be in full military gear, inside a moving vehicle. Despite the seriousness of the situation, the visible soldiers were smiling. Fat Joe is not the only American to speak on the situation in Ukraine.

Musicians Cardi B, Stevie Wonder, Cher, and Miley Cyrus also spoke up about the conflict, all in support of the citizens of Ukraine. This conflict has also prompted both Ukrainian and Russian artists to take a stance as well. Ukrainian artists like Slava Vakarchuk and Palimdrom have been vocal as well in the face of imminent threat. Russian rapper Oxxxymiron took to the stage in Istanbul and performed a sold-out set in front of an anti-war banner.

What Has Fat Joe Been Up To?

Earlier this year, Fat Joe announced a new business venture with White Castle. The announcement came via Twitter, where Joe listed a range of menu items customers could pick from. These menu items include Spicy Joe Slider, Sloppy Joe Slider, Smoky Joe Slider, and the Sloppy Fries. The rapper also hosted a Bronx Relief Special alongside the New York City Mayor’s Fund. They partnered to raise money for victims impacted by the Twin Parks North West building fire, which left 17 people dead and 46 others injured. The fundraiser amassed donations from artists like Jay-Z and DJ Khaled.

The Bronx rapper is also going on tour. He’s putting on several concerts this year, the first of which, starts March 19. He has two concerts on April 20 and 27, and another May 14.
