The ever-entertaining clash between 50 Cent and Joe Budden has heated up, with Budden hinting at a possible lawsuit over 50’s online antics. Budden brought this up on his own show, noting that not only 50 but also Kanye West might benefit from therapy.
The drama took a visual turn when 50 Cent posted AI-generated pictures of Budden roaming the streets in his underwear, referencing an unfortunate event where Budden was arrested for public lewdness and stalking. However, the charges were dropped, clearing Budden of any guilt.
On his podcast, Budden discussed the legality of 50’s actions, suggesting he might ‘get lawyers involved.’ He pointed out, ‘You can’t take all those AI pics and just start [posting them].’ Despite this, Budden also acknowledged his respect for 50, stating it’s lawyer time if things don’t change.
50 Cent, never one to shy away from a good public spat, responded in his trademark style. He shared Budden’s legal comments on Instagram with a caption mocking the potential lawsuit. ‘So that’s the plan [laughing emoji],’ he wrote, ‘I think you are mistaken me for someone else.’
Behind their current beef is the broader skirmish where Budden claimed 50 needed therapy for his insensitivity after the passing of rival Irv Gotti. Budden on his podcast remarked, ‘Hip Hop is the new meaning for ‘I need therapy,’ calling out Kanye and 50 by name.
50 Cent and his notorious reputation for handling feuds with humor and outright dismissiveness is evident here. He remains unfazed by Budden’s comments and continues to engage in their verbal tug-of-war seemingly with no intention to retreat.
Despite legal threats, 50 Cent and Joe Budden’s long-standing feud shows no signs of cooling off anytime soon.
