Looks like 50 Cent and Joe Budden finally put the drama to rest after months of trading shots online.
The two New York rap vets had been going at it over 50’s jokes about Irv Gotti’s death, with Budden firing back and keeping the heat going. Both known for being hard-headed and speaking their minds, it didn’t seem like either one was gonna back down anytime soon. Leave it to a Knicks playoff game to bring some peace. During the Knicks vs. Pistons matchup, 50 was sitting courtside next to Fat Joe when the arena’s jumbotron caught them. Fans with sharp eyes noticed Budden was sitting just a row behind them, and it didn’t take long for the moment to go viral.
50 posted the pic on Instagram with the caption, “I ran into Joe at the game he said I don’t need Therapy No MORE,” clearly poking fun at the situation and hinting that everything’s cool now.
In a game where rap beefs can drag on for years, this was a refreshing switch-up. Two stars from NY (with real egos) bump into each other in the most New York setting possible, and instead of letting it escalate, they laughed it off. It’s a rare moment of grown man energy in Hip-Hop, and fans were here for it. Whether the peace holds or not, that courtside run-in showed the culture something different, and sometimes, that’s all it takes.
