Fat Joe's performance before Game 3 of the World Series at Yankee Stadium was widely criticized, especially when compared to Ice Cube's energetic show at Dodger Stadium for Game 2. Fans expressed their disappointment on social media, mocking the Yankees' choice of performer and suggesting it contributed to the team's lackluster start to the game. Fat Joe's act, which involved walking around the diamond and allegedly breaking superstitious baseball rules, failed to engage the crowd. Critics also noted the Yankees' poor game performance, beginning with Clarke Schmidt's struggles on the mound, exacerbating the situation. Fans humorously suggested that other prominent New York artists, like Jay-Z, would have been better options. The overall reception of the performance was overwhelmingly negative, with fans expressing embarrassment for both the Yankees and Fat Joe.
