Joe Budden dodges 50 Cent at a strip club in the most comical near miss
Joe Budden recently shared an amusing incident involving his long time rival, 50 Cent, at a strip club in Queens. On a recent episode of The Joe Budden Podcast, Budden couldn’t help but laugh as he recounted how he narrowly avoided running into 50 Cent in person. The almost encounter happened because of their ongoing rivalry, which flared up when 50 Cent made a post on Instagram that he later deleted.
In the post, he playfully called out Budden, asking, “Why did you leave Mermaids so fast, Joe? It’s starting to get spooky right?” This cheeky message confirmed that 50 Cent was nearby, making Budden’s quick exit even funnier. During the podcast, co-host QueenzFlip added to the humor by joking that he was relieved Budden had made it home safely. He also had fun with a recent viral argument between the two.
Budden, known for his self aware humor, admitted the moment felt real. He laughed, saying, “I was two steps out of there. I was like, ‘Oh no!’” Although Budden has moved on from his rap career to focus on podcasting, his past experiences with 50 Cent continue to provide entertainment. Their history is filled with playful insults and entertaining banter, and while things have never gotten too serious, this close call shows that the tension between them is still alive, even in 2025.
Despite the rivalry, Budden shared the story light heartedly, making it feel more like a funny mishap than a real conflict. One reason fans love The Joe Budden Podcast is this talent for finding humor in tense situations. Was Budden really trying to avoid 50 Cent, or was it just a coincidence? That’s up for discussion, but whenever these two come close to crossing paths, it’s bound to be entertaining!
