After looking like a homeless crack addict stumbled on stage, Joaquin Phoenix is here to say that it was a legit performance, not an elaborate and lame hoax. People:
"There's not a hoax," Phoenix tells the Associated Press of doubts about his sudden conversation 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."

Did these "dudes" then transform into multiple colors and start spinning around just before growing wings and flying away? Because it could've been the drugs he's obviously taking, just checking.
