The Dodgers’ Kike Hernandez makes an epic speech at the championship celebration at Dodger Stadium on Friday, Nov. 1, 2024.
An ecstatic Kike Hernandez was not shy of letting his feelings be known on New York rapper Fat Joe during the championship celebration at Dodger Stadium.
Hernandez took a dig at Fat Joe, who he referred to as "just Joe" during his speech, saying that the series was already won following the rapper's performance in Game 3 of the World Series at Yankee Stadium.
"He (Fat Joe) came out and sang — and guess what? We didn't even need to play because after that performance we had already won!" said Hernandez.

In the same speech, the Dodgers' outfielder praised Los Angeles rapper Ice Cube for his performance in Game 2.
Hernandez finished his victory speech with a shoutout to another Los Angeles rapper, Kendrick Lamar.
"Like Dot said, 'they not like us' baby!" said Hernandez.
The Dodgers acquired Hernandez in 2023 after a stint with Boston Red Sox. He had spent multiple seasons with the Dodgers prior and was a part of the team that won the World Series in 2020.
