During the Dodgers’ victory parade on Friday, November 1, the Puerto Rican second baseman took slight dig at fellow riqueño Fat Joe, who performed after Game 3 of this year’s world series.
“[Fat Joe] came out and sang — and guess what? We didn't even need to play because after that performance we had already won!,” Kiké said.
As we know, Kiké is a proud Angeleno, while Joe reps New York — so this East Coast vs West Coast rivalry is a tale as old as time. But Kiké has since clarified what he meant with the comments.
Kiké made an appearance at a Los Angeles Raising Cane’s store on Monday, Nov. 4, where he met with the press and answered from fans. When asked about his comments on Joe, Kiké offered a hilarious explanation, noting that he had a bit in his system at the time.
“I don’t apologize for what I said,” Kiké noted. “I was just blacked out for a couple of minutes and there may or may not have been a lot of Budweiser in my system.”
Kiké revealed that he hasn’t heard from Joe, however, he may want to make things right sooner rather than later.
