Fat Joe and Remy Ma closed the medley with an homage to Big Pun, busting out a ferocious rendition of the New York City legend’s 1998 hit, “Still Not a Player.” Remy Ma and Fat Joe spat the song’s delightful verses in tandem while Ty Dolla $ign, Warren G and Kandi and Tiny all joined them at the end to belt the song’s famous final refrain, “Boricua, morena.”
