Tensions have flared between Joe Budden and Yung Miami after the City Girl rapper threw shade at Budden for finally receiving a gold certification for his 2003 hit “Pump It Up.”
The award, which took two decades to achieve, became the center of a social media spat on Thursday (August 22), when Yung Miami responded with mockery.
LL Cool J presented Budden with the gold plaque, a moment captured on video and shared online. However, instead of congratulating Budden, Yung Miami reposted the clip on X (formerly Twitter) with six crying-laughing emojis, implying she found the milestone amusing.
A fan chimed in, saying “resh,” to which Miami responded, “I was 9, I’m 30 now,” followed by five more crying emojis.
Joe Budden didn’t let the dig slide. He reposted Miami’s comment, hinting at a potential clapback with the caption, “It would be too easy…..” This subtle warning sparked a quick response from Yung Miami, who reminded Budden of his own past ridicule.
She fired back, “Another one bites the dust, remember??? You were just celebrating when you THOUGHT I took an L. I can laugh. YOU were just laughing at me, so LET’S LAUGH! [three crying-laughter emojis].”
This exchange has quickly captured the attention of fans and followers, fueling the ongoing drama between the two. Will this feud continue to escalate, or is it just a fleeting moment in the world of hip-hop beefs?
