Today is April Fools Day but that wasn’t stopping Fat Joe from getting one off on his friend DJ Khaled a day early.

Yesterday (March 31) while on Power 106’s The Cruz Show, Joey Crack decided to do a little scheming and called Khaled while on the radio. He knew Khaled had a fear of flying so he exploited it by asking him to fly out to DJ for him under the false pretense he was granted the opportunity to perform his new single “All the Way Up” on the Ellen Degeneres Show that same day.

Khaled vehintmetly refused even though he was really happy for his friend. After Joe pleaded with him for a suitable amount of time, he revealed that it was all a joke and that Khaled was on the radio the whole time.

“Yo, Cruz, you set me up,” Khaled said when confronted that it was all a joke. The genius was how believable the story was. DJ Khaled did make a recent appearance on Ellen and Fat Joe’s single with Remy Ma has been getting a lot of praise and play as of late. Can’t really blame Khaled for falling for it.
