50 Cent isn’t letting Joe Budden’s recent remarks slide, firing back at the former rapper-turned-podcaster after being called out for needing therapy.
Budden took aim at both 50 and Kanye West on a recent episode of The Joe Budden Podcast, claiming they both could benefit from professional help.
“Hip-hop is the new meaning for ‘I need therapy,’” Budden stated. “Kanye West needs therapy. 50 Cent needs therapy. I don’t care if you agree with the rationale. And 50 is 50. He gon’ stand in it. He gon’ stand strong in it.”
What really caught Budden’s attention was 50’s reaction to Irv Gotti’s passing. The G-Unit mogul posted an image of himself smoking a hookah beside a mock gravestone—a move Budden felt was distasteful.
“If 50 feels like that, then go smoke a cigar in the cigar room,” Budden added. “I’m not telling him how to feel. Yeah, feel like that! But how he went about it is wrong.”
Not one to hold his tongue, 50 Cent took to Instagram with a fiery response, posting a screenshot of Budden’s podcast video while referencing Budden’s past legal troubles.
“Stay out my mix, Joe, talking about I need therapy,” 50 wrote. “B*tch, you need to stop walking around naked. The f**k is you doing in the hallway with ya balls out, PUNK!”
As always, 50 Cent knows how to keep the drama alive, and it looks like this feud is just heating up.
