The lawsuit suing the rapper for damages of up to $20 million comes just two months after Joe sued Dixon for defamation. Dixon's court filing accused the 54-year-old of "engaging in sexual relations with children who were 15 and 16 years old" in exchange for cash and materialistic goods like clothes and phone bill payments. One of the girls from Dominican was 16 when she performed oral sex and other sexual acts on Joe in exchange for cash, clothes, and phone bill payments, documents seen by TMZ allege. Joe is also accused of having a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old girl he met at a concert abroad. He allegedly flew the girl out to New York and Miami on several occasions and paid for her to have a Brazilian Butt Lift, Dixon claims. The lawsuit further accused the rapper of falling in love with a 15-year-old Latina [referred to as Minor Doe 3] who he flew out for tours, set up in a Florida condo near his family home, and considered leaving his wife for. "The Defendant paid all Minor Doe 3's bills and even took her overseas to his tour stops," the lawsuit alleges. "He brought her to Florida and would put her up in a condo he rented a few blocks from his house with his wife. "In a recorded conversation, Minor Doe 3 and her 15-year-old cousin describe in detail to Plaintiff how 'inappropriate' it was for Defendant, who was in his late 30s at the time, to be fawning over children." Kanye shows up to Diddy's sex trafficking trial in blacked out Maybach after being spotted in NYC with wife Bianca Dixon also claimed Joe subjected him to "coercive labor exploitation, financial fraud, sexual manipulation, violent intimidation, and psychological coercion." The former hype man alleged that Joe made him perform coercive sexual acts over 4,000 times "under duress and surveillance", threatening to abandon him abroad if he did not. He allegedly had to perform such "humiliating" acts "to maintain his standing within the Enterprise." The lawsuit claims Dixon faced "a wide spectrum of sexual coercion, psychological control, forced exhibitionism, and surveillance-based humiliation, including being compelled to perform sex acts under observation, being filmed, or directed by [Fat Joe] in the presence of others — tactics designed to control Plaintiff's body, erode his autonomy, and ensure silence." Dixon's lawyer Tyrone Blackburn said Joe is "Sean Combs minus the Tusi." Diddy is currently on trial for sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation to engage in prostitution - all of which he has pleaded not guilty to. "These sex-based abuses were not private, incidental, or isolated," Blackburn, who represented Lil Rod in his lawsuit against Diddy, said of Dixon's lawsuit. "They were integral to the enterprise's culture of dominance and humiliation, enforced by Defendant's associates," he added, naming others listed in the lawsuit against Fat Joe. 'LIES AND THREATS' The rapper's lawyer, Joe Tacopina, who defended A$AP Rocky in his felony gun trial, told The Independant that the claims made by Dixon are entirely "fabricated". "The lawsuit filed by Tyrone Blackburn and Terrance Dixon is a blatant act of retaliation," he said, adding that it is all "lies" to destroy Joe's reputation and "force a settlement through public pressure". "Mr Cartagena will not be intimidated," he said. "We have taken legal action to expose this fraudulent campaign and hold everyone involved accountable." Joe's defamation lawsuit against Dixon accuses him and his lawyer Blackburn of attempted extortion and harassment. Tacopina called the $20 million lawsuit "a desperate attempt to deflect attention from the civil suit we filed first, which exposed their coordinated scheme to extort Mr. Cartagena through lies, threats, and manufactured allegations." However, Dixon has said he will not go down without a fight, "This is the right way to fight Joe - through the system" he told Variety. "Joe thinks he's a god. Joe thinks he's untouchable."

Dixon said in legal docs that he 'personally witnessed' the Grammy-nominated rapper, 54, 'engage in sexual relations with children who were fifteen and sixteen years old.' One of the teens the New York City native was allegedly involved with inappropriately, according to Dixon, was a Dominican female, who he was engaged with in 'oral sex and other sexual acts.' The entertainer, whose full name is Joseph Antonio Cartagena, allegedly carried on the relationship with the teen girl 'in exchange for cash, clothing, and payment of her cell phone bill.' Daily Mail has reached out to Fat Joe, his reps and his lawyer Joe Tacopina for comment on the story. Fat Joe's one-time hypeman Terrence 'T.A.'

Dixon alleged that the Get It Poppin' artist foot the bill for the underage girl to have a Brazilian Butt Lift operation performed, Dixon said in legal docs. Dixon told the court that the underage female referred to in the court docs 'eventually left Defendant and is now married to a professional athlete.' Fat Joe allegedly fell 'in love with' a third female - a Latina female who he met when she was 15, Dixon also claimed in legal docs. Dixon said Fat Joe 'was in love with' the female, and paid her bills and took her on the road. 'He brought her to Florida and would put her up in a condo he rented a few blocks from his house with his wife,' said Dixon, who told the court he had been working with the rap artist for a stretch from 2006 thru 2019.

Fat Joe said that in the six years since they had concluded working with another, Dixon had 'never raised any issues or sought any additional compensation.'
