Rap heavyweight Fat Joe is still scratching his head over 50 Cent's attack on him on new track Piggy Bank - because he helped produce his fellow New Yorker's megahit Candy Shop.

The rapper and producer pal Scott Storch were working on the follow up to last summer's Lean Back smash-hit when they came up with the beats for what became Candy Shop.

And when 50 came calling for a new tune, Fat Joe decided to let him have his new tune.

He tells rap magazine XXL, "I'm pretty sure the world don't know we actually produced Candy Shop together. I produced it with him (Storch), made the intro, put the sounds together."

"I figured at the time Lean Back was popping so Scott called me like 50 times, 100 times: 'Yo, you sure you don't want to use it? 50 Cent called me. 50 Cent want it.'

"I never had a problem with this dude. I was like, 'Go ahead.' The next day, I get in there and hear Candy Shop... Sometimes you know beats ain't for you."

Now Joe is accusing 50 of being "touchy" for getting upset about his involvement in Ja Rule's New York anthem and video.

He adds, "He feels like anybody that rocks with Ja Rule is his enemy. But I never thought it would bother him or affect him."

"He (50 cent) can never be me. All this fast success and all this money, I don't look at him as no superhero."

IMO joe should have kept this shit for himself-it is nonsense to say that...wtf he wanna mean through this ??50 should be ashamed to have rhymed over a beat not produced but arranged by fat joe?
and accusing 50 cent of being "touchy" is ridiculous...he should assume the fact that he did a song wit that cat called ja ru..

How come Scott Storch ain't saying the same thing? And how come the credits don't say "Co-produced by Fat Joe"? That song has been at #1 on Billboard for 6 weeks straight and still going strong. If Fat Joe legitimately co-produced it, he should be making a call to his lawyer, not making cry baby statements to the media.

I think Fat Joe is confusing listening to beats and saying whether or not he likes them, with co-producing. Wouldn't suprise me if he thinks the producer is 'the guy who makes the beat'.

"He (50 cent) can never be me."

couple hundred trips to mcdonalds and anyone could

his rapping is nothin special.. ive rapped off and on for like 3 years... and fat joe is no better than me or anyone else on the siccness.... 95% of the people here would kill fat joe

and about him makin the beat....lol hes sour as hell because 50 clowned on him in that interview with mtv where he said somethin like him (fat joe) and some other artist (cant recall who exactly it was now.. either jada or rule) only sold 1.5 mill together.. and his "debut" (really his second album) sold 11 mill...lol
