“Dear confused people:

I was born in the USA (Boston area to be exact) I have been rapping since in was introduced to 2pac at the age of 9. I was also Born Joseph Barbieri, you guessed it! A shortened version of the name is Joey B.

This whole narrative that I stole Joey from Ghana’s name to make money off of him is a joke. LMAOOOO it's my government issued name.

I've never listened to Ghana's Joey B, I never intend to and I eat off my own work NOT by scamming off his name.

If anything.....You people need to realize he's the fraud when it comes to An artist's name: straight from the Wikipedia page that I SET UP only to wake up the NEXT morning and have it all redone by his marketing team::::
