QueenzFlip, Joe Budden's co-host on The Joe Budden Podcast, defended Budden amid his lewdness allegations in New Jersey. He attributed the incident to sleepwalking, also assured fans that the podcast would continue, and claimed that the charges were racially motivated.
On December 4, Joe Budden was charged with lewdness after it was alleged that a neighbor and his minor daughters who were also present with him, spotted Budden completely naked on a doorbell camera in the hallway of their apartment in New Jersey.
His co-host, QueenzFlip, defended him in his statement to TMZ, where he said,
“Joe is well. I checked his stories. He's being rich somewhere, you know what I'm saying? He's somewhere out in the country, I don't know.”
He said he has "nothing but positive" things to say about Budden and credited him for giving him “some of the greatest things in life”. QueenzFlip also mentioned on the TMZ video "Let him enjoy his New Year, man. To be honest, I have no idea what's going on."
He referred to Budden as 'the podfather' and assured that the podcast would continue. QueenzFlip attested for Budden by attributing this incident to his sleepwalking and that in the music industry, people usually try to put smut on each other's name.
The internet responded to this with mixed reactions. One user commented:
"Why does this feel fake ? lol like a skit or something ??Either you called them yourself or you MADE this yourself 😭😭😭😭 Stll love you though bro, I just can’t deny how this looks😅"
Others chimed in, while another claimed that the interview by QueenzFlip to TMZ was probably fake and was a skit. Here's what the user said,
Streets saying u called TMZ and arranged a meet. I told them they lying tho.
While some praised QueenzFlip for being real as he stood by Budden's side with everything going on now, a user commented that he was a 'real one'.
The internet remains divided on Joe Budden's lewd allegation. Some questioned the legitimacy of the claims, stating his sleepwalking defense and potential racial biases. His loyalty has been the talk of the internet as some appreciated his support while others criticized his defense as fake.
Budden's legal issue
On December 30, the Edgewater Police Department revealed in a press release that it was Joe Budden's neighbor who spotted him completely naked through his doorbell camera. It was also reported that he tried entering the code multiple times to enter the room before he headed back home. At 7 in the morning, the officials arrived on the scene as soon as they were called.
In a recent podcast, which was not shot at his apartment, the 44-year-old rapper spoke about the incident saying
"I just sleepwalked somewhere that I shouldn't have sleepwalked. That's what happened".
He also stated, "I just went where I shouldn't have gone to sleep. That's what happened."
Joe Budden is currently on vacation and will soon address his allegations in court and plans to resume work shortly.
