Joe Budden Faces Backlash Over Alleged โฃComments โคRegarding Megan โขthee Stallion
Online,โ Joe Budden โฃis facing criticism following a circulating audio clip from his podcast,โ JBP, where he allegedly โmadeโฃ a concerning remark in response to Megan Thee Stallion’s recent explanation for why she doesn’t play Call of Duty. The โcontroversy stems from a lack of context surrounding โขBudden’s statement, leading to interpretations โฃthat โคhe expressed a desire to purchase the game to target the rapper.
Megan thee Stallion recently revealed she doesn’tโข play Call of Duty โ becuase of past trauma. While discussing her confession on JBP, budden reportedly said, “I don’t even play Call Of Duty, I’d have bought it off the strength.” Tho it’s unclear what Budden meant, many online users โขhave interpreted the comment as a threat towards Megan Thee Stallion. The incidentโข has ignited โฃa debate, particularly given Budden’sโข past โขfacing allegations of โคdomestic violence. โฃ
The audio clip, shared on X (formerly Twitter) by @politicalpimpn, โlacks accompanying video or further โexplanation.The JBP co-hosts reportedly โคagreed with Megan’s reasoning for avoiding โthe game, before Budden’s comment.Without clarification, interpretations range from Budden simply stating he would โคsupport a game featuring โMegan, to a more disturbing suggestionโ of wanting to confront her within the game.
As of today, Budden has not publicly addressed the controversy, nor have his podcast co-hosts. The lack of response has fueled further speculation and criticism. โฃThe situation is particularly sensitive given past allegations against Budden.In 2022, he turned himself in to theโ NYPD following allegations of domestic โviolence, though he has denied wrongdoing. This history has led many to view his alleged comments as particularly troubling and insensitive.
Fan reactions have beenโฃ swift and โlargely negative, with many expressing concern for Megan Thee Stallion’sโฃ safetyโค and callingโ for Budden to clarify his statement.โ It remains to be seen whether either Buddenโข or Megan Thee stallion โฃwill publicly address the situation.
