NSFW: The Fat Jew Had Coachella's Most Insane Belly Drawing

If you're going to perform at Coachella, why not draw a graphic photograph of a woman with a cat's head on your tummy? That's what The Fat Jew did!
The Fat Jew, aka Fabrizio Goldstein, is a TV personality and rapper (according to Wiki), and he was dubstep star Dillon Francis's "hype man." This is how the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin described him: "The hype man used a successful combination of cursing, fist pumping and a wild look featuring a cat and the word 'meow' painted on his obese, naked stomach while wearing what appeared to be boxers and white socks." You can see the full NSFW image here and below:

The Fat Jew wrote on Instagram, "IPerforming at Coachella with @dillonfrancis, 5,000 kids on ecstasy losing their stupid minds. What's on my chest? A woman with a cat head spread eagle, my bellybutton is the butthole."

The Fat Jew actually had some great advice for the festival, like "Don’t Film Live Performances with Your iPhone (AND DEFINITELY NOT WITH YOUR IPAD)" and "If the Drugs Haven’t Started Working in 30 Minutes, Don’t Take More." Also: "Don’t Be That One Video That Goes Viral At Every Music Festival"
At every single music festival, one person becomes a viral sensation who brings shame upon themselves and their family. Whether it’s the naked dude with a micropenis getting tased or the girl on molly who passionately made out with a tree, just know that it’s going to happen to someone. Don’t let it be you.

He also made this sage observation on Twitter:
A tattoo sleeve used to mean you were a biker who would kill, now it means you're a chef who makes a lovely pork belly with balsamic drizzle

Moral of the story: Don't judge The Fat Jew by the disturbing drawing on his belly.
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
