50 Cent was spotted making a rebellious comeback to Joe Budden on Instagram. He posted AI-generated n*de pictures of Buddens on recent posts with captions attacking the broadcaster/ rapper.
Let's examine the backstory to understand the context. On a recent podcast, Joe Budden hinted that 50 Cent needs therapy.
Hip Hop is the new meaning for ‘I need therapy,’” he said. “Kanye West needs therapy. 50 Cent needs therapy. I don’t care if you agree with the rationale. And 50 is 50. He gon’ stand in it. He gon’ stand strong in it.
50 Cent retaliated by posting AI-generated naked images of Joe on his IG feed, with captions indicating his state, often questioning. The series of posts were launched like a social media campaign. Although Budden hasn't reacted to the posts yet, they stirred quite a buzz on X.
