Joaquin Phoenix Denies Rap Career Is Joke

The actor turned wannabe rapper Joaquin Phoenix continues denying his attempts at grabbing rap game fame are all one big joke. Since last week’s reports surfaced, sparked by a very publicly humiliating performance inside Vegas’ club Tavo, nothing indicated this was anything but elaborate trickery for some laughs–however, Joaquin stands by his word that it’s 100% serious, and rap dynasty is in his sight. WTF?!

“There’s not a hoax,” Phoenix tells the Associated Press of doubts about his sudden conversion from movie star to hip-hop artist. “Might I be ridiculous? Might my career in music be laughable? Yeah, that’s possible, but that’s certainly not my intention.”

“I had a lot of dudes come up and say, `We really respect you for doing it, putting yourself out there, and going with it,’” he tells AP. “Because I think true hip-hop heads know that it’s hard, it’s going to be a hard transition, and people are going to be lining up just to make fun of me.”

For real though…now, everyone can prolly’ just hold tight for that retarded Ashton Kutcher show to air this now sorry display (if he’s serious.)

Either way, I’m still callin’ bullshit on this one! Maybe part of a viral ad plot to sell you some new energy drink…not too ridiculous sounding! Also since this news is late to the party here on TricesWorld.com, we felt the need to include that video of Joaquin’s first live show, complete with the drunken biff from the stage at rap! Just in case you missed it or need a good fuckin’ laugh, push play above!
