Fat Joe is mourning the loss of his mother Marie Del-Carmen Cartagena, just two months after saying goodbye to his beloved father. 

The 54-year-old Grammy-nominated rapper, who recently shed over 200 pounds with the help of Ozempic, took to Instagram to share a heartfelt tribute to his late mother, who passed away at age 77.

‘This is a real one, rest in peace to the woman who brought me into this world,’ Fat Joe wrote alongside a series of family photos. 

‘She didn’t have much, but she gave us everything.’

He continued, ‘Anyone who knows my mom knows she had a heart of gold. She refused to move out of the projects for many years, even though I had money. She loved her community, she loved her people.’

Marie’s death comes just two months after Fat Joe lost his father, her husband Ernesto Cartagena.

Fat Joe has long spoken about the deep bond he shared with his mother.

In January, he honored her birthday with a heartfelt tribute, calling himself a proud ‘momma’s boy.’

He also praised her for ‘beating cancer.’  

In February, the hitmaker took to social media to share an equally heartfelt tribute to his late father.

‘Sad to announce the passing of my Father ‘ERNESTO AKA CUBA’ papi te quiero para siempre,’ he wrote, alongside a touching carousel of family photos.

‘This has been tough, I’m not looking for sympathy, just honoring my Dad,’ Fat Joe continued. ‘He’s a Legend in my eyes. To my Mom, Wife, Brothers and Sisters, I love you and we’ll always be united. 9/15/1935 – 2/12/2025.’
