If Barack Obama is the Black community’s favorite all-time President of the United States, Bill Clinton sits comfortably at No. 2. Fat Joe named him an honorary member of Terror Squad this week by gifting him a pair of the group’s recent Nike Air Force 1 collaboration.
Joey Crack attended the Clinton Global Initiative meeting, which occurred from Sept. 18 to Sept. 20, and made it a point to meet up with the 77-year-old politician so he could give him the sneakers in person. “Special delivery. Hottest sneaker in the game. Sold out in five minutes. But if I didn’t bring it to Bill, it wouldn’t be official,” Joe said in a Tuesday (Sept. 19) Instagram video.
Another person in attendance asked if Clinton receiving the sneakers made him an honorary member of the New York rap group, and that’s when the “Lean Back” rapper gave him his official stamp. “He’s an honorary member of the squad,” Joe said. “I love you so much, man. So many years you fought for the people, and we love you. I’m a huge fan of yours. Thank you so much for all you do for us.” Bill Clinton was pleased with the gift and excitedly said, “These are cool!” Check out the moment below.
Bill Clinton was quick to put the sneakers on and pose for the camera, evident in another Instagram post shared by Fat Joe. Clinton can be seen sitting on a couch and smiling while wearing his new kicks in a photo with a Black and white filter.
The Bronx rapper has been all over the place handing out these sneakers. On Tuesday evening (Sept. 19), he stopped by the Barclays Center in Brooklyn and gifted a pair to the New York Liberty’s star Sabrina Ionescu. Ashanti, Ludacris, Jadakiss, J Balvin, Lupe Fiasco, and more have also gotten personal deliveries.
The Terror Squad Air Force 1s debuted in 2007 and were exclusive to Fat Joe’s friends and family. They display his initials, “JC” for Joe Cartagena, on the heel of the shoe and “TS” for Terror Squad on the bottom. Check out the moment with Ionescu below.
