A third follower wrote: “I just wanted to congratulate Fat Joe on his continued weight loss,” while another chimed in: “I'm proud of Fat Joe, he's come a long way.”
Pranksters on social media also confused Jada with other celebrities.
“Pitbull got a cool new jacket… oh wait,” said one, while another joked: “I've never been so confused: Pitbull, Fat Joe, The Rock, everything fits.”
“I still can't believe Chris Rock got slapped over Vin Diesel,” one fan also said, referencing Will Smith's infamous Oscar slap.
Speaking of which, Jada recently said Rock asked her out right before her husband hit him on stage at the 2022 Academy Awards.
Earlier this year, the actress busily dropped bombshells during her promotional tour for her memoir Worthy — including the news that she and Will have been separated for seven years — and in an interview with People, she said that Chris called her one summer have shoot his shot.
“I think every summer all the reports came out that Will and I were getting a divorce,” Jada began. “And that summer, Chris thought we were getting a divorce.
“So he called me and basically said, 'I'd like to take you out,'” she recalls. “And I said, 'What do you mean?' He said, “Well, aren't you and Will getting divorced?” I thought, “No, Chris, they're just rumors.”

'[Do I have] Would you like to talk to Chris? Here is my wish: I just hope that all misunderstandings on this matter can be cleared up and that there can be peace,” she told the publication.
Jada admitted that she and Will were actually living apart when her husband walked onto the Oscars stage in anger over a joke Rock made about his wife's baldness.

She noted that no permanent decisions have been made about the future of their marriage, explaining that she and Will are “still working on figuring it out.”
“We did really hard work together,” she said. “We just felt deep love for each other and we’re going to find out what that looks like.”
Jada went on to praise her children — Jaden, 25, Willow, 22, and Trey, 30, who is Will's son from a previous relationship — for standing by her during this difficult time in their relationship.
