Dodgers World Series celebration ends with roaring rally, ‘We Love LA’ playing through stadium

During his remarks onstage during the championship celebration event Friday at Dodger Stadium, Kiké Hernández mocked the performance by rapper Fat Joe before Game 3 of the World Series in New York.

“Then we go to New York, and this guy he used to be fat and he isn’t fat anymore. His name is Joe,” Hernández said. “He came out and sang, and we didn’t need to play anymore because after that performance we had already won.”

Others also panned Fat Joe’s performance at Yankee Stadium, giving rise to what some have referred to as the “Fat Joe Curse” that purportedly led to New York subsequently losing the series to the Dodgers.

Hernández paid tribute to Ice Cube, who strolled across the field at Dodger Stadium and rapped a medley of some of his hits before Game 2 of the World Series.

“Ice Cube came out in Game 2 — and with his performance, we didn’t even need to play the game, we had already won it,” the outfielder said.
