Fat Joe: Mike Bibby once 'yoked' me up over Air Jordans

Mike Bibby and Fat Joe are good friends, but that didn't stop the former NBA point guard from nearly choking the rapper out after he tried to make off with some of Bibby's kicks.

During a Facebook Live session Thursday with Sole Collector, the rapper spoke about Bibby's expansive sneaker collection and shared a story about how he came in possession of a pair of extremely rare "Metallic Silver" Mike Bibby Air Jordan 9 Low PEs.

"Mike Bibby, as a lover of sneakers, he has more sneakers that anybody," Fat Joe said. "Mike Bibby has a house for sneakers. F--- a room. A full f------ house. A guest house. It's just disgusting."

While visiting Bibby in Arizona, Fat Joe began filling up a duffel bag with some of his rarest sneakers, which he intended to bring home with him. Things then got physical between the two.

"Mike Bibby literally yoked me up," he said. "I think he had a drink or two that day, and he don't really drink like that."

Eventually, Bibby cooled down and told Fat Joe he could pick one pair to take with him.
