Rubi Rose had a memorable appearance on the Joe Budden Podcast. The rapper talked about lots of different topics, including her start as a video girl. Rose’s misconception over how old she was when she appeared in the “Bad and Boujee” video caused a firestorm online, but she eventually cleared it up. One topic that didn’t get as much attention, though was Rubi Rose’s songwriting process. While she’s both a rapper and songwriter, according to Wikipedia, she told Budden that she actually didn’t pen most of her own lyrics.
Joe Budden got very frank very fast with his guest, and this included her musical output. Rose’s debut album is set for release in 2024, and the ex-rapper was curious how much she played a hand in writing her songs. The answer? She doesn’t. At all. Joe Budden asked Ruby Rose point blank if she wrote her songs and she said, simply, “No.” There was a moment of awkward laughter when she responded, but the rest of the podcast panel broke out in applause. They commented Rose’s honesty, and then things took a comedic turn when she turned the tables on Budden. “Do you?,” she asks the ex-rapper. Things erupted once again, and Budden smiled before confirming that, “yes,” he does.
The debate over writers has reached a fever pitch in hip-hop over the last decade. A lot of the slander has been thrown at Drake, especially in light of the reference tracks that keep surfacing online. Most of the slander, however, has been reserved for female rappers. Coi Leray’s pen game was questioned after demos with lyrics similar to hers leaked in 2022. She hopped on Instagram Live to clear the air. “I’m here to speak for myself and I do want to give a little education real quick,” she asserted. “My whole album. I mean, every single feature written by me, so I know my pen game is super amazing.”
Rubi Rose’s transparency is surprising, even by 2024 standards. She was similarly open about the fact that she wasn’t a gang member. The topic came up after the rapper was seen throwing up gang signs and wearing red in 2022. “I’m not actually a gang member,” she said on the Big Facts podcast. “I know that’s kind of like a joke on the internet…I was around gang members and I just like throwing their gang signs up because it’s cute. I love the color red. I’m in no way a gang member, though.” It’s hard to tell if Rose will have a long career, but it’s inarguable that she’s being real with her fans.
Oschino thinks something’s up with Joe Budden’s recent account of what Jay-Z texted him recently, which regarded their commentary on the former Roc-A-Fella rapper’s claims about Jay’s involvement in Beanie Sigel’s 2004 attempted murder case. For those unaware, Hov said that Oschino’s idea that he refused to stick up for Sigel in court is a lie, but his former colleague thinks that either the Roc Nation boss himself is lying or that the podcaster has something up his sleeve. It’s a bit of a complicated and contentious situation that probably won’t really escalate any further, but check out Oschino’s response down below to hear his take.
Furthermore, this is what Oschino had to say about Jay-Z’s alleged testimony in the Beanie Sigel case. “I came to court for Beanie when he allegedly shot somebody,” he told Say Cheese. “Jay-Z got on the stand and they said, ‘Are you gonna be responsible for him if we let him go?’ Jay-Z said, ‘No.’ I was there. This ain’t hearsay; this was me in the courtroom. I was just thinking, ‘What did he come to court for then?’
“If I got a homie and all I gotta say is, ‘I’m responsible for him for him to get out,’ I’m saying it every time,” Oschino continued concerning Jay-Z’s supposed choices. “The judge was trying to give him an out. He said, ‘No.’ And nobody didn’t say nothing, nobody flinched. Mind you, I’m a jail n***a so I’m looking around like, ‘Nobody not saying nothing?!’ Like it was normal […] Maybe I’m too street in my thinking and maybe he was being more responsible, but I was thinking, ‘Man, these boys is different.’”
Meanwhile, doubting Jay-Z aside, this is not Oschino’s only controversial opinion as of late. “First of all, Drake got a whole country behind him,” he said of the Toronto rapper’s beef with Kendrick Lamar. “Drake got the most hits. Girls like Drake. Kendrick can rap too, but I think he overrated, though. All of his songs are not hot to me. When Drake sings, I hate it. When Drake sings, I cut it off. I say, ‘Drake, don’t do this.’ When Kendrick Lamar sings on some of his songs, he tries to go too deep, I’m like… [unimpressed expression].”

The Georgia Mass Band performed Kendrick Lamar’s viral diss track, “Not Like Us,” in a clip circulating on social media, this week. The move comes as the song continues to break Spotify records, having now reached 300 million streams in just over a month. Lamar is currently on pace for the biggest streaming year of his career.
Fans on social media had mixed responses to the performance. “Bro, this sh*t finna last a whole year, the summer is just getting started,” one user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote. Another joked: “Wait until Southern and Grambling get a hold of it.. lol.” Other users brought up the fact that Joe Budden foreshadowed this happening on his podcast. “GEORGIA @iamstillpunch @DJHed @ElliottWilson @JoeBudden said this on his @JoeBuddenPod (You better be glad it’s not HBCU season NOW,” one user wrote. “They practicing for this Fall @oldmanebro @dangerookipawaa #NotLikeUs @Akademiks.”

As for Budden’s comments, he reacted to the song initially by joking: “You better thank your heavens up above that it isn’t HBCU season! You better thank God.” Lamar kicked off the feud with Drake back in March by teaming up with Future and Metro Boomin for the song, “Like That.” He and the Toronto rapper fired off several diss tracks aimed at one another in the ensuing months. Drake has since scrubbed his Instagram of all his posts related to the beef, although fans think his latest upload features some shade toward Lamar. Check out the clip of Georgia Mass Band’s performance of “Not Like Us” below.
In other news, Lamar’s longtime collaborator, Terrance Martin, recently hinted that he has a new album in store. Be on the lookout for further updates on Kendrick Lamar on HotNewHipHop.
Clipped, the new FX drama series that follows the NBA’s Donald Sterling Saga, premiered this week. The series comes after a taped conversation between Clippers owner Donald Sterling (Ed O’Neill) and his arm candy, mistress, assistant, and “silly rabbit,” V. Stiviano (Cleopatra Coleman) was released in 2014. The shocking racism on the tape caused a huge uproar, which ultimately resulted in Sterling’s dismissal. When the first look at the series dropped, fans were quick to roast the casting of the real-life players and figures. Joe Budden says he can’t get into the show because he can’t get over the casting.
The casting of iconic actor Laurence Fishburne as Doc Rivers, the then coach of the Clippers, was a point of comedy for NBA fans. Now that the first episode is out, NBA fans are roasting the casting of players like Chris Paul, balke Griffin, and Steph Curry. It is hard to get a one-to-one casting, but it is pretty funny that these well-known figures have these accurate doppelgangers. Joe Budden and some viewers just can’t get past the casting choices, and it’s hard not to blame them.
Joe Budden Hates The Casting But Clipped Is Pretty Good
A decade after the scandal broke and on the eve of the NBA Finals, the series, which is an adaptation of Gina Welch’s ESPN podcast The Sterling Affairs, explores the challenges the league faces. Up to the NBA’s 2014 ban and forced sale of the team by new commissioner Adam Silver, Sterling is shown brushing the entire situation off as “A big nothing.” Joe Budden and viewers of the first two episodes had some takes on the casting choices. Fans roasted the actors who played Steph Curry and Klay Thompson. Fishburne’s Doc Rivers has also been the subject of many jokes on social media.
The casting may be a turnoff for Joe Budden and many fans who know these real-life individuals intimately, but the show is pretty good. It’s a trashy and entertaining drama that explores a period in time that isn’t that long ago. The casting does add a layer of comedy that makes it fun to watch if you are an NBA diehard. People like Joe Budden may have been expecting a very serious retelling of a time of upheaval in the NBA’s ownership due to racism. But the series is having fun telling a juicy story with a lot of moving parts. Overall, what do you think about the Clipped casting?
DJ Akademiks is one of the most controversial figures in the rap media. He’s beefed with numerous major stars of the genre and faced backlash from fans and fanbases on dozens of occasions. In recent years its been one controversy after another for the podcaster but one specific complaint has stood out. He’s been accused of mysogyny repeatedly especially in high-profile cases with Megan Thee Stallion and SZA. Now Statik Selektah is calling out one of the hosts who has enabled Akademiks’ rhetoric for years.
During a recent interview Akademiks comes up. Statik pivots the conversation to some of the people who give him a platform. He lists recent controversial stories Ak went through with artists like Freddie Gibbs and Erykah Badu as reasons why he shouldn’t be given a broad reaching platform. Then he specifically calls out hosts like Joe Budden and Elliott Wilson who enable Ak to continue causing controversy by inviting him onto their platforms. He also repeatedly claims that Ak is on his way out, something that fans debate in the comments. Check out the full clip of his discussion of Akademiks below.
The most recent controversy DJ Akademiks has found himself involved in is with Donald Trump. Fans came at him with pretty harsh criticism after he claimed that Trump’s recent conviction for 34 felonies made him want to vote for the former president even more later this year. When given the opportunity to correct the narrative he chose to double down on his pro-Trump talking points. That drew even more controversy. He’s also repeatedly confused even some of his most die hard fans with his takes on the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef.
What do you think of Statik Selektah calling out Joe Budden and Elliott Wilson for giving DJ Akademiks a platform to cause controversy? Do you agree with him that Ak would be on the way out if bigger platforms stopped inviting him on? Let us know in the comment section below.
During the most recent episode of The Joe Budden Podcast, the retired MC spoke about Drake and all of the latest hot takes about him. As you can see in the clip below, Budden noted that while Drake’s placement as an MC might be affected, his legacy remains unscathed. In fact, Joe thinks it would take a lot more than just some reference tracks for Drake’s image to truly take a hit. After over a decade of providing us with hits, Budden is pretty confident of Drake’s current standing in the culture.
Joe Budden Podcast speaks on whether they are satisfied with Drake’s music career
“I don’t care what Drake does. For me Drake’s legacy is already cemented, a lot more has to happen for him to look as bad as some of yall want us to view him as. pic.twitter.com/uYtoIsTHDz
“I don’t care what Drake does,” Budden said. “For me Drake’s legacy is already cemented, a lot more has to happen for him to look as bad as some of yall want us to view him as.” Some fans probably would have expected a different take from Budden. However, he has always maintained that he is a fan of Aubrey. Sure, he’s been critical of the Canadian artist, but who hasn’t? Only time will tell whether or not Joe’s hypothesis about Drake gets proven wrong.
Let us know what you think of this take from Joe Budden, in the comments section down below. Do you agree that Drake and his legacy have already been cemented? Is there anything that can happen that would make you change your opinion of Drake? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.
Retired rapper and media personality Joe Budden found himself in the news for the wrong reasons. This was after his ex-girlfriend Tahiry Jose reacted to his comments on Diddy’s apology video. The embattled rap mogul Diddy offered a public statement apologizing following the disturbing video of Cassie’s assault, leading to scrutiny both online and among his peers. One of those who criticized him was Joe Budden. During an episode of his The Joe Budden Podcast, Joe said Diddy’s actions in the assault video disgusted him, describing it as unbearable to watch.
Joe added that Diddy’s apology was offensive, insensitive, and felt almost like a slap in the face. Joe added, “He didn’t even try to put some sincerity into this thing.” However, when The Shade Room posted Joe’s thoughts on Diddy’s apology on Instagram, his ex-girlfriend Tahiry Jose hopped to the comment section to level some accusations against him. She recalled how Joe allegedly threw her down a flight of stairs. This caused a back-and-forth between the exes, leading many to recall their relationship. Below is a timeline of their relationship.
Joe Budden and Tahiry Jose’s relationship began in 2005. During an interview with Global Grind TV‘s Brittany Lewis, Joe and Tahiry opened up about their first date. They revealed that they were together from the first time they met. Joe needed to use the bathroom and asked to use Tahiry’s. However, after she let him in, he used the bathroom and fell asleep on her floor and they never stopped hanging out afterward. Joe and Tahiry also revealed that their first date was at a cave-shaped restaurant where they went to get ice cream.
2005-2013: Relationship Struggles
Joe and Tahiry loved each other and had a strong bond. However, these weren’t enough to stop them from quarreling multiple times and even breaking up twice. This caused their relationship to become tumultuous as they made several allegations against each other. Fans watched Joe and Tahiry’s relationship struggles play out on Love & Hip Hop: New York, which they starred in.
Tahiry spoke about her and Joe’s relationship struggles during a November 2013 chat with Vibe. When asked if she would ever trust Joe Budden enough to be with him long-term, she answered, “Right now, no.” She added, “The world thinks Joey and I went back and forth for nine years [but] we didn’t. We were together five, apart for four and I gave him a chance in May [but] he f***ed up. Tahiry explained that friendship is the core of every relationship, but Joe failed as a friend a few times.
Despite the difficulties in his relationship with Tahiry, Joe was convinced she was the one for him. Hence, he planned a surprise proposal at New York City’s Times Square. Family and friends surrounded the couple during the proposal, which also played out on an episode of Love & Hip Hop: New York. During the proposal, Joe told Tahiry that he wanted his words to match his actions and his actions to match his feelings for her. “I want the ties that bind us together to always be stronger than those that tear us apart — I love you,” Joe said. “I need you, I don’t want to spend another day without you. With that said, Tahiry-my-mom-didn’t-give-me-a-middle-name-Jose, will you marry me?”
Many would have thought Tahiry would say yes to the ring, but she turned down Joe’s proposal. She had her reasons, though, as she questioned Joe’s trustworthiness. Tahiry’s actions hurt Joe, who spoke about the proposal during an appearance on Hot 97. Joe revealed much was edited from the proposal scene on Love & Hip Hop: New York.
The media mogul explained, “I’m mad that they edited so much out.” He explained further, “In the scene that I shot with my mom afterward—you know, I expressed how the answer didn’t take away from how beautiful the night was for me. With the family there.” Joe continued, “And just leading up to it. And the ring. And just wedding planning. All that was great, still… It was great for a man to do. Like when you feel that way and to actually do it, sans the ‘no.’” When asked if he would ever be in a relationship with Tahiry, Joe declared, “No way. No way. I’m never doing that again. That would never happen again. Ever ever ever ever.”
December 2019: Tahiry Reveals Why She Rejected Joe’s Proposal
Meanwhile, Tahiry spoke about rejecting Joe’s proposal during a December 2019 appearance on The Real. When asked if she regretted rejecting the proposal, she said, “Well, he proposed in a public place so, I mean… I don’t regret it. I didn’t know that I was that brave. It was one of the most important chapters of my life on national TV. I believe that the show had 5.1 million viewers at the time. So, to be able to say ‘no’ to the man I thought at that moment was supposed to be my forever was big.”
Tahiry further explained that she was uncomfortable with the amount of reality TV obligations she would have to deal with if she had said yes. Hence, she chose to do what was best for her. She added, “I knew that that ring would come with show specials, the wedding specials… we were so big! People loved us together, but I couldn’t do it. [It was] what my gut told me to do, so I had to follow my gut. None of that mattered if the relationship wasn’t healthy.” Tahiry emphasized that she made the right choice. She said, “I have no regrets. Of course, I love him. I love him as a person.”
August 2020: Tahiry Jose Makes Disturbing Allegations Against Joe Budden
Tahiry and Joe went their separate ways after she turned down his marriage proposal. However, that wasn’t the end of their interactions. In August 2020, Tahiry was a guest on Hollywood Unlocked [Uncensored], and she revealed Joe allegedly abused her during their relationship. At the time, Tahiry was facing media scrutiny after her ex, Vado, grabbed her forcefully during a Marriage Boot Camp episode. When asked if Joe was abusive toward her when they dated. Tahiry paused for a while before revealing that Joe allegedly abused her.
Tahiry said she kept quiet about Joe’s abuse because she wanted to focus on work. She claimed that her relationship with Joe left her battered and bruised. She revealed, “That relationship left me with a fractured rib, a broken nose because somebody was sending him a message….pushed me down a flight of stairs. I remember having a plan to leave because the reason he was so upset was because I was already leaving. Looking through my phone and sh-t. But I had already told him give me two weeks to pack up my things and he agreed to it. Then he started looking through my phone. Next thing you know, I got woken up by him dragging me from my ankle.”
The reality TV star claimed that Joe began by verbally abusing her. It then turned to emotional abuse before becoming physical. She shared, “I still fear for my safety. He hurt me bad and I just stayed quiet.” Tahiry revealed that she lied to the doctors about her injuries, but Joe rapped about abusing her, and she stayed quiet. She explained that she wanted to deal with the matter privately, but listening to Joe saying she would fight a man after her altercation with Vado pushed her to speak out.
September 2020: Joe Denies The Abuse Allegations
Joe didn’t waste time in denying Tahiry’s abuse allegations against him. The broadcaster said his relationship with Tahiry was toxic. However, he accused her of lying against him and chasing clout with her accusations. Joe claimed Tahiry was abusive toward him and used to “beat my a*s.” He also claimed that he didn’t break Tahiry’s nose, noting that she got the injury after a fisticuff with a man in Sin City, New York.
Joe said, “What was alleged here…let me start with this young lady is a liar, a cancerous, toxic liar. I’m uncertain why she’s lying this way, I’m not certain if she’s misspeaking. If she has a false recollection of things. I’m not sure what it is but she said some things that didn’t sit right in my soul and I’m here to talk about it.” Among other things, Joe further insinuated that Tahiry was in her feelings about him moving on from her and suggested the backlash she received after the Marriage Boot Camp drama caused her to tell lies about him.
Tahiry responded to Joe’s comments during an Instagram Live section with her friend Alicia Lyons. She noted that she prefers keeping her private affairs away from the public. She added, “But, you know, the world believes whatever they want to believe. I’m fine. I know what happened. My God knows what happened. He knows what happened. So that’s why I don’t care. It’s like the party that’s guilty to jump on that bandwagon of everything that kind of supports their story.” She also denied hitting Joe, saying, “So Tahiry’s aggressive, yeah, I’m loud. I’m Dominican, I’m short, I’m rough, I’m aggressive but I never put my hands on you. But people don’t know that. They see what they see and that’s okay, too.”
May 2024: Tahiry Jose Accuses Joe Budden of Physical Violence Again
Nothing much was heard about Joe and Tahiry’s allegations against each other until May 22, 2024. Joe reacted to Diddy’s apology video by bashing the rap mogul. However, Tahiry found Joe’s comments ironical and hopped on The Shade Room‘s repost to label him an abuser. She wrote, “FOH, Who???? The irony. This is so triggering!!!!! I remember joey throwing me down a flight of stairs dragging me back into the house & me having to talk him into letting me go.” She also claimed the situation remained that way “FOR HOURS!!!!” In a third comment, Tahiry expressed solidarity with Cassie and every other woman who went through or was going through abuse.
However, Joe responded to Tahiry under the comment section of The Shade Room post. He called her a “lying, failed gold digger that has abused, targeted and manipulated many men.” Joe further said that Tahiry didn’t have an identity outside of him which is why she has desperately tried to be attached to him for over 15 years. He recalled several instances they interacted with each other and she was fine. Joe claimed, “You were on my body your entire last stint on L&HH and tried your best to disrespect my son’s mother in the process, i had to ask producers to keep you away from us like the cancer you are!! Yet you continue to slight my name online because…it’s your identity.”
Joe concluded by labeling Tahiry a con woman and prayed she would find healing and move on. He hoped this would be their last exchange and prayed for women who were really victims of abuse. Tahiry quickly responded to Joe’s comments by claiming Joe’s close circle knew the truth. She wrote, “I’m not scared of you anymore. You can keep bullying, intimidating the rest. Those that know you and are around you also know the truth. Sad that they continue to enable your behavior. Your time is coming!” Joe is yet to respond to Tahiry’s latest comments and seems to be done talking about the matter. At this time, there is no love lost between the former lovebirds. However, only time will tell if Tahiry’s allegations against Joe would be proven or if the issue at hand would fizzle out.
Joe Budden, the renowned rapper, songwriter, and media personality, has had his fair share of love. Naturally, his years in the limelight have proved him to be an undeniable influence on pop culture. Budden, however, is also quite popular in the dating market and is known for his romantic history. From high-profile romances to quieter affairs, Budden’s dating history is as diverse as his lyrical repertoire, and it’s not without controversy. In the wake of the Diddy–Cassie scandal, Budden has called the mogul a “lying sack of sh*t.” However, Budden’s ex, Tahiry Jose, has also hit him with abuse allegations of his own.
Angie (Early 2000s)
Joe Budden’s journey in love traces back to his early days when he experienced the thrills and tribulations of young romance. While details are scarce, his first relationship can be traced back to when he was 20 years old and dating a girl named Angie. While her last name was never disclosed, the two had a son named Joseph Budden III in 2001. Similar to the start of their relationship, there is no information on when the two broke up.
Tahiry Jose (2005- 2010)
One of Joe Budden’s most notable relationships was when he was dating Tahiry Jose, a model and former Love & Hip-Hop: New York star. Their on-again, off-again romance was very public and even played out on Love & Hip-Hop. The couple broke up twice, with Tahiry revealing on Hollywood Unlocked that Budden had physically assaulted her. While Budden denied the allegations, they left a lingering impact on his career. The couple’s relationship ultimately ended in 2010.
Esther Baxter (2010-2011)
Following his split from Tahiry, Joe Budden began dating Esther Baxter, a model and actress. Their relationship was brief, with Budden announcing their breakup through his song “Ordinary Love S*t Pt.2.” However, that was not the end, as allegations of abuse also surfaced and Baxter filed charges with the police. Additionally, Baxter revealed in an interview with Bossip that she allegedly had a miscarriage due to the abuse. She subsequently dropped the charges.
Kaylin Garcia (2012-2013)
Following the public scrutiny Budden had faced with his last relationship, his new relationship with Kaylin Garcia seemed to promise stability. The couple’s time together also blossomed on Love & Hip-Hop: New York, showcasing moments of genuine affection and companionship. However, like many of Budden’s previous relationships, their love story encountered its share of challenges. While they tried to salvage their love by going to couples therapy, it did not work out for them. Ultimately, their relationship came to an end.
Cyn Santana (2016-2019)
Arguably, one of Joe Budden’s most publicized relationships arose when he began dating Cyn Santana. Their whirlwind romance was also documented on reality television as well as social media. The sweethearts welcomed a son named Lexington in 2017 and were engaged a year later. Sadly, their engagement did not last long as Santana called it off after four months. The relationship came to an end in 2019. A year later, in a leaked phone conversation, Santana accused Budden of physical abuse, substance abuse, and poor parenting. Budden denied all allegations.
Budden has found new love with another model and has been dating Shadée Monique since 2019. The pair were first spotted at a pool party, and she also reportedly accompanied him to commemorate his 39th birthday in Turks & Caicos in August 2019. Although initially tight-lipped about their relationship, Joe hinted at their relationship in a 2021 Instagram post. Just last year, Budden penned a heartfelt anniversary tribute on Instagram, commemorating four years of love with Shadée. The lovebirds seem to be in love and going strong.
Joe Budden and Taxstone have been at odds with one another for quite some time. Overall, the two podcasters do not like each other and it mostly stems from Joe’s appearance on Taxstone’s show back in the day. However, these days, Taxstone is serving a lengthy jail sentence. Meanwhile, Joe continues to do his podcast, which has proven to be influential.
That said, the feud was reignited on Wednesday as Joe was accused of domestic violence by Tahiry Jose. This subsequently prompted Taxstone to get on Twitter, where he laced into the former rapper. “If Joe doesn’t hit women anymore, yall should forgive him. yall don’t live with him. A lot of you forgave your dads and the dude you are with now,” Taxstone wrote. “But in the meantime, if Joe beat you up, dm me, I’ll retweet your story. When Joe’s manipulative words don’t work he starts swinging like Canelo on opioids. 3 puffs a hookah and a ball rub on his dog and he turn into the n***a that made.a woman write what’s love got to do with it.”
Taxstone Gets Things Started
If Joe doesn’t hit women anymore, yall should forgive him. yall don’t live with him. A lot of you forgave your dads and the dude you are with now
He’ll guilt trip his way out act depressed slightly suicidal statement to say they’re trying to take his hookah money with rampant fabrications. Admit that he tries to save sex workers from having sex with athletes and rappers until he can’t afford to keep them in the house
Eventually, Joe Budden came through with some clap backs. Overall, Budden mostly took aim at the fact that Taxstone is still in jail. Moreover, he was quick to point out that the former podcaster will be sitting there for a very long time. Needless to say, neither Joe nor Tax were playing fair in this fight. There was a lot of mud-slinging, and the back and forth continued for what felt like the length of an NBA game.
Joe Budden Claps Back
You should write a book about it since you have all the time in the world… lol
Eventually, Taxstone went in on Joe for the way he treats his podcast co-hosts. “All you do is manipulate all your friends they sitting on the couch with you like the script was written by Jordan Peele you hypnotizing n***s into believing that BS you be selling all day they know you wrong but can’t swim out the swamp cause they became reptiles with u,” Taxstone wrote. Joe continued to reply to Taxstone, although he kept the replies sarcastic. In the end, the exchange finished off with Tax writing “Smh why you wanna joke on me being in jail cause you beat all ya women up why you won’t tweet to all of them bro ?? They the ones that got hurt by you ??”
