It’s a game of musical chairs every week to see who will sit where on MTV2′s star-studded game show “Hip Hop Squares,” and in this sneak peek of tonight’s episode, Fat Joe calls out Mob Wife Drita D’Avanzo for muscling him out of his trademark square. “I got ‘extortioned’ out my spot up there,” he tells host Peter Rosenberg.
Okay, so maybe the Terror Squad rapper was simply teasing the VH1 spitfire, who earned her seat fair and square! But being the center of attention can cause some serious confusion. Remember when comedian J.B. Smoove swore he became part of the Brady Bunch when he was placed in the bullseye? Well, this time, the not-so-Fat-anymore Joe seems to think he’s surrounded by a cartoon character and some Divine company. ”It’s alright,” he says of his new seating arrangement, “I got Jesus Christ with me and Yo Gabba Gabba. I’m feeling blessed.”
Check out the clip below to see which “college-loving” celeb Joe says resembles J.C., and tune in for an all-new episode of “Hip Hop Squares” tonight at 11/10c!

Hip-hop is going Hollywood — or is it the other way around? On May 22, MTV2 will premiere “Hip Hop Squares”, a fresh new take on the iconic tic-tac-toe game show “Hollywood Squares.”
Nick Cannon, DJ Khaled, Fat Joe, Mac Miller and Machine Gun Kelly will be featured as contestants. “Jackass” crewmember Bam Margera, Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker LaMarr Woodley and Wu-Tang’s Ghostface Killah also will appear on the show, hosted by New York radio DJ Peter Rosenberg.
” ‘Hip Hop Squares‘ is a great representation of MTV2′s new brand filter to deliver smart, funny and relevant content that speaks directly to male Millennials, or ‘Malennials,’ as we call them,” said Paul Ricci, head of programming for MTV2. “The show will refresh an iconic format and create a fun, dynamic series that’s unpredictable, heavy on personality and much more ‘party’ than ‘game show.’ ”
If the new incarnation of “Squares” stays true to the original, two contestants (one representing “X,” and the other representing “O”) will compete for prizes in a trivia-styled game where the show’s stars are situated on a giant tic-tac-toe board.
The contestants strategically select which square they wish to capture and ask the star seated there a trivia question. After the question is answered, the contestant can choose whether to agree or disagree. If the contestant is right, they capture the square; if he or she is wrong, their opponent wins the square. The first contestant to line up three squares in a row wins the game.
“They cross the spectrum from musicians and celebrities to athletes and casual fans of hip-hop,” Paul Ricci, MTV2′s programming chief said. “The show will refresh an iconic format and create a fun, dynamic series that’s unpredictable, heavy on personality and much more ‘party’ than ‘game show’.”
Sounds like a ball.
Tune into the premiere of “Hip Hop Squares” at 11 p.m. ET/PT on Tuesday, May 22, on MTV2!
