%*#% Fat Joe. There's actual video of Big Pun pistol whipping his wife which has been shown on TV and it's on the internet as well. He also smashed glass in her face one time. Her face still doesn't look like it's healed after all these years. Big Pun was a talented rapper, but was very abusive to his wife and I when I saw all that, I lost all respect for him. He was horribly abusive. He treated his wife like shit, I don't know why she stayed with him all those years.

1. She had low self-esteem.

2. She was (and still is) very uneducated to the point of not being able to find a job in New York, a city of very high cost of living.

Yes NYC is a city of very high cost and living, but there's also many training programs she could have got herself into. NYC has many foreigners coming here with very little, and seem to find ways to make it, so although I do feel for her because of the abuse she experienced, but there's also services for abused women. She has to motivate herself to get herself out of her situation regardless. She has to do that for her kids so that they could see there is a way out of no way.

I don't know the circumstances, but they're all eating well apparently...

Big Pun's Wife and Children Living in Homeless Shelter

Deceased rapper Big Pun's widow and three children are living in a New York homeless shelter. Liza Rios and her children have been forced to relocate to the shelter after losing their home to foreclosure.

"We're in a city shelter," Rios said in an interview. "It's been very hard for them [the children] to transition. After Pun passed I didn't receive a lot of money. I received $160,000 from publishing. The house I was paying mortgage [on] was my husband's. He bought the house and it wasn't paid out. The five years I was living there I spent over $120,000 just on mortgage [payments]. Then you [have] the kids, and the food, and the clothes and legal fees...when there's no money coming in, there's just money [going] out."

Rios also talked about her physically and emotionally abusive relationship with her late husband. "It's through the grace of God that I've survived," she said. "I never knew what domestic violence was until I was in it and even when I was in it I still didn't know what was going on. I thought it was just me I didn't know that it was happening with so many women."





As a member of the Terror Squad rap group Pun was responsible for introducing rapper Fat Joe to the public. According to Rios, she and Joe are not on good terms and have no plans to reconcile. "We haven't been on the best of terms in a while. I'm asking to see proof of royalties and so forth. I have not yet seen anything. Pun has made a lot of money for people and continues to make money for them. Pun doesn't get paid when you hear songs on iTunes [or] ringtones. If Pun's not getting a check, his kids are not getting a check."

Pun, born Christopher Rios, died in 2000 from a fatal heart attach. Most famous for his single 'I'm Not A Player,' the rapper weighed almost 700 lbs at the time of his death.

Oh come on, don´t be so mean.

You´ve probably heard or read about poor children being more prone to obesity than rich kids because poor kids eat much more sugary stuff and cheap, simple carbohydrates.

Good nutrition is expensive.
Fast food joints are all over the place in most poor areas in the USA.

People say that, but it really isn't. Fast food is convenient & people like to indulge. You can feed a family for 2 days on what people spend in the drive-through in a single shot. But people make choices & grease often wins

I saw her talk about her problems with Pun on that E special that talk about rappers' wives.

I don't know the circumstances, but they're all eating well apparently...

Shocking,ain´t it ?
I read an interview in VIBE back when this picture came out( he used to be a model) and they said he received some insurance money and started eating. That´s how he got fat.
