Fat Joe has an aversion to flying coach.

In a May episode of the Joe & Jada podcast, the Bronx native explained to Jadakiss why he prefers to fly first class.

“I can't do it,” Joe said. “This is part of my prayer: 'God, please don't put me in coach.’ It’s a whole different atmosphere back there.”

It was clear Jada thought Joe was being ridiculous as he continued, “‘God, please keep me in first class.’”

Joey Crack said that the one time he had to fly coach, he sat next to “the Beverly Hillbilly,” specifying that the experience involved white people.

“When I tell you these kids was climbing over my shoulder. Some kid threw another kid a bag of potato chips, smacked me in my face,” he said. “I was praying so much in that seat. … It was the only flight. I was praying. I said, ‘God, please, Lord Jesus. I never want to be [in coach] again.’”

The two New York rappers launched their podcast at the beginning of May, which sees the legends discussing music, sports, and culture, and welcoming special guests. Episodes air twice a week, produced by The Volume and Roc Nation.

In the episodes since, Joey has come out as a “serial glizzy eater,” looked back on bailing Justin Bieber out of jail in Miami in 2014, and recalled Ruff Ryders saving him and Big Pun from a man who wanted to shoot Joe with a machine gun when he was beefing with the West Coast.
