50 Cent vs. Joe Budden Feud Heats Up with AI Images; Drake Stirs the Pot
In an unexpected twist, 50 Cent shared fake nude photos of Joe Budden on Instagram. The February 18 posts came after Budden called out 50’s reaction to news about Irv Gotti’s death.
The drama kicked off when Budden blasted a post where Curtis Jackson – known to most as 50 Cent – posed with a fake gravestone for Gotti. “If 50 feels like that, then go smoke a cigar in the cigar room. I’m not telling him how to feel. But publicly saying ‘Damn, I wanted him to see my new shows….’ Or whatever the f— is being said, I think it’s wrong,” Budden said on a recent episode of The Joe Budden Podcast.
When Budden brought up therapy, it touched on sensitive ground about mental health in hip-hop. His podcast comments triggered this latest clash with 50.
50 clapped back immediately. “Stay out my mix Joe talking about I need therapy. Bitch you need to stop walking around naked. The f— is you doing in the hallway with ya balls out PUNK!” he posted on Instagram.
The situation heated up when Drake liked one of the fake photos. Budden has kept quiet about the pictures across all social media.
There’s a long history of beef between 50 and Murder Inc. Records, which Gotti helped start. Old fights left scars that still haven’t healed.
The drama spread to others too. 50 went after former kingpin Big Meech for supporting his son’s acting career – right after Meech got out and connected with Rick Ross.
Social media has turned rap beef into public entertainment. Celebrities can now blast their haters instantly, turning private fights into internet gold.
