Fat Joe had a special delivery for former president of the United States Bill Clinton recently. The “Lean Back” rapper attended the Clinton Global Initiative meeting — which kicked off Sept. 18 and runs through Sept. 20 — and personally gave Clinton a pair of the Terror Squad x Nike Air Force 1 Low sneakers as a thank you for his political efforts throughout the years.
“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,” the rapper tells the former president in a video shared on Instagram Tuesday (Sept. 19). Offscreen, someone asks, “Does that make him an honorary member of the squad?” to which Fat Joe wholeheartedly responded, “He’s an honorary member of the squad.”
The rapper’s praise of Clinton continued. “I love you so much man. So many years you fought for the people and we love you,” Fat Joe said. “I’m a huge fan of yours. Thank you so much for all you do for us.” Clinton appeared happy with the gift and remarked, “These are cool!” when presented with the black-and-white low-top sneakers.
Afterward, the rapper shared a black-and-white photo of the 42nd president wearing the sneakers. “YESTERDAYS PRICE TSAF1,” he captioned the snap, including three rocket-ship emojis, ending with “BILL!!!!”
The TSAF1s launched in 2007 and were exclusive for Fat Joe’s friend and family. The rare sneaker has the initials of his birth name, Joe Cartagena, on the heel of the sneaker and an embroidered “TS” for Terror Squad beneath. The sneakers were released for the general public to purchase on Sept. 16 for $150.
Clinton is far from the first person Fat Joe has gifted the TSAF1s to. Ashanti, Ludacris, Jadakiss, J Balvin, Lupe Fiasco, Fabolous, DJ Khaled, Lil Jon, A$AP Ferg, Jennifer Lopez and more have all received pairs, personally delivered by the rapper himself.
