Joe Budden Trashes Claudia Jordan & Vivica A. Fox

by

Just after apologizing to Megan Thee Stallion, Joe Budden had a lot to say about the hosts of Cocktails With Queens.

Joe’s commentary on Megan Thee Stallion this week ruffled plenty of feathers. The podcast host explained how he didn’t like the Houston Hottie due to her alleged treatment of some of his friends.

The commentary sparked a reaction from Cocktails With Queens co-hosts Vivica A. Fox and Claudia Jordan, one that Joe couldn’t ignore.

“If you don’t button it up and sit your bitch ass down!” Fox warned Budden. Meanwhile, Claudia Jordan brought up domestic abuse allegations and Budden’s treatment of Rory and Mal.

“If you want to talk about somebody doing something bad to someone your friends with, maybe you’re not the one to say that,” Jordan added.

Though Joe offered an apology to Megan Thee Stallion, he had plenty to say to Fox and Jordan on the latest episode of his podcast. The Mood Muzik rapper fired back at both women while dragging their careers.

“Claudia Jordan, shut the fuck up. You got to shut the fuck up. It could get bad,” he said before redirecting his energy toward Vivica A. Fox.

“Once regarded as the Black woman that all of America wanted to be with — just so we’re clear on that. Long fall from grace. You bitches don’t know how to usefully use your pussy broth is the problem. So now, be very careful with how you continue to speak about me because I got right here Vivica Fox movies,” he said. Joe listed Vivica A. Fox’s recent roles in movies like Aquarium Dead, Arkansas, and Hooking Up.

“Vivica Fox, shut the fuck up before I book you for a movie. You don’t cost but $5 to get it done,” Joe continued. “I will book that entire Fox old hoes show for $75.99. You bitches better leave me alone.”

Joe Budden Issues Apology To Megan Thee Stallion Amid Tory Lanez Trial

by

Joe Budden offered an apology to Megan Thee Stallion following disparaging remarks about the “Savage” rapper on a recent podcast.

On a recent episode of his podcast, Joe Budden made it clear that he is not a fan of Meg. “But what I can say is I’m finished with these n****s and I don’t like that girl. I can’t,” he said before explaining his stance.

“Personally, I’ve seen this woman do horrible things to some really great people that I have longstanding relationships with here in this industry,” he continued. “You can’t just treat my friends, and people I fuck with, and people I’ve seen in this game for 15 years a certain way.”

Joe quickly faced backlash following his comments. Vivica A Fox, for example, told him to “sit yo bitch ass down.” She told Joe that the “facts are finally coming out” surrounding the shooting.

Today, Joe offered an apology to Megan and her team for the “careless manner” that he addressed her mental health.

“I’m apologizing to Meg,” he said. “Meg, the people that love her. Her handlers, her team, the people that have to support her through what has to be an exhausting trial. I listened back. I got a few phone calls from women that I love and appreciate and admire,” he added before appearing to blame his co-host for the information that he heard surrounding the case.

“I’m apologizing for the careless manner in which I joked about her mental health. That didn’t sit right with my soul and my spirit,” he said. “But that’s not funny because whether you believe her or don’t believe her, can you afford to be wrong? And the answer is no. I would not feel right if that girl went home and did something to herself ’cause then I would just be a part of the pile-on. And there is seemingly a Meg hate train going on across socials.”

A fan later urged people to cancel Joe but he quickly fired back, saying, “You can’t cancel me, don’t fool yourself.”

Joe Budden Reacts To EJ King’s Trial Recap

by

Apart from all of the pleas leading up to the YSL Rico trial in Atlanta in January, the Tory Lanez trial in Los Angeles has been one of the most-talked legal battles in Hip-Hop this month. Megan Thee Stallion, Kelsey Harris, and plenty of other witnesses have taken the stand so far. Megan’s former bodyguard, Justin Edison, has still yet to testify, but earlier this week, EJ King took the stand.

EJ King was Megan Thee Stallion’s stylist around the time of the shooting, and he attended Kylie Jenner’s party on July 12, 2020. In his testimony, he said Megan was “past the faded point,” so he had urged her to leave the party. When questioned if Megan or Kelsey had a firearm in their possession that night, EJ King replied, “Possibly… but it’s not my business.”

Joe Budden and other celebrities react to EJ King’s post-court Instagram post

Following EJ King’s testimony in court on Monday (Dec. 19), he hit Instagram to share photos of his outfit. As reporters previously described, King sported long, wavy hair and a bright pink blazer during his court appearance. King also shared video clips of him talking to the press and walking away from the courthouse. In fact, King took his IG dump a step further by soundtracking the video clips with the theme music from Law & Order.

“My day in court was exhausting but it’s over and done with!!!” EJ King wrote in his Instagram post. “Speak your truth and leave it there.”

See the celebrity stylist’s post below.

Naturally, several people found King’s Law & Order clips hilarious, which led fans and celebrities alike to react to his post. Supermodel Winnie Harlow, actress Jessie Woo, Joie Chavis, and plenty of others roasted King for using the Law & Order music.

Surprisingly, Joe Budden also joined in on the fun. Budden recently admitted to not liking Megan Thee Stallion, but his reaction to King’s post appeared to be more focused on his video-editing antics than his actual testimony in court.

“Fam,” he wrote in EJ King’s comments with a flurry of crying laughing emojis. See Joe Budden’s reaction, as well as more celebrity reactions, below.

Kevin Samuel’s sudden death earlier this year was met with mixed reactions as some paid their respects to the controversial influencer while others celebrated his death. On the Joe Budden Podcast, Joe, Ice and Ish paid their respects to Samuels who actually guest starred on the podcast early last year.

Following his death, many social media outlets started to repost clips from Samuels’ IG lives, interviews, and YouTube content. No Jumper, a popular hip-hop media outlet based out of Los Angeles and run by Adam 22, started to upload clips of Samuels’ old content. Adam 22 recently guest starred on the Joe Budden Podcast where he was scolded by Budden for re-uploading Samuels’ content after his death.

While on the episode, Budden brought up the late men’s influencer, and Adam22 responded, “Rest in peace.” Budden then told the No Jumper host “i don’t like what you did after he died.”

Budden went on to call Adam22’s actions “disgusting” and the “nastiest performance I’ve ever seen.” Adam22 defended his postition saying that when someone dies, there’s a huge demand for that person’s content on social media.

What is your job as a content creator? Your job is to make content and get that content out to the people that want to see it,” Adam said. “Somebody dies, there’s a huge demand for that content, you re-upload it, people see it on their subscription feed, they click on it because this is a very talked-about thing,” Adam22 added.

Ish then asked Adam22 if the content he posted about Samuels was in a negative light. Joe jumped in and said “He didn’t slander his name, he just re-uploaded everything on Kevin Samuels in the moment that he died.” Adam22 then admitted to uploading content of Samuels as soon as his passing was confirmed.

In some alternate Hip-Hop multiverse, Joe Budden and DMX had a rap battle. In this current one, Budden attempted to get it going on the set of Belly.

Joe popped up on the Flip Da Script podcast and revealed how he saw X shooting a scene in New Jersey. At that moment, Budden saw it as a time to put his skills to the test.

“I used to say I battled DMX, but that wasn’t really a battle,” Joe Budden said. “I was battling, he wasn’t battling”

Budden would state that DMX would eventually leave to complete a scene and didn’t drop a single bar. The attempt did catch the eye of Swizz Beatz, who wanted to put Budden in a group with Cassidy and Drag-On, but it fell through.

You can hear it from Budden below.

Joe Budden doesn’t think the subgenre of Hip Hop, Drill Rap will live long with law enforcement blaming the New York sound as violence increases in the city.  During a recent episode of The Joe Budden Podcast, Budden said the genre has already brought too much attention from authorities and they’re already trying to get rid of it, like New York City Mayor Eric Adams.  

“You drill n*****s got the shortest of windows,” Budden stated. “That sh*t bout over. Y’all can go keep dancing with Eric Adams if you want. It’s over, buddy, in the next five, six years.”

Budden continued, “The writing is on the wall, and that’s government-issued writing. That’s not Joe. That’s government-issued writing. Don’t start hitting me, mad at me. I’m just telling you what I’m looking at.”

Back in April authorities used drill music videos to track down their subjects for arrests.The NYPD did a sweep, arresting over 20 alleged gang members in the Bronx. The police dubbed the investigation “Operation Drilly” and recovered 18 guns.

Several known rappers from the dill scene have had run-ins with the police like Kay Flock and Dougie B., while others have lost their lives.
