Joe Budden Shuts Down Diddy "Freak-Off" Rumors
Joe Budden is setting the record straight regarding rumors tying him to Diddy’s alleged “freak-off” tapes.
Following recent legal troubles for the music mogul, Budden emphatically states he will not appear on any such recordings, should they ever emerge.
Diddy faces serious allegations from federal prosecutors in New York, who accuse him of coercing women into se*ual situations with male escorts.
The three-count indictment details claims of violence, dr*g use, and blackmail, portraying these encounters as part of a disturbing pattern.
Budden and Diddy had a short-lived collaboration in 2018 when Budden hosted “State of the Culture” for Diddy’s REVOLT TV.
During that period, Budden attended several of Diddy’s parties, which has fueled speculation about his involvement in the alleged “freak-offs.”
The rumors escalated after Budden took a vacation on the day of Diddy’s arrest, leading some to suggest he was escaping the drama.
In a recent episode of his podcast, Budden addressed these swirling rumors with a mix of humor and frustration. He dismissed the idea that he would have any advance knowledge of a federal arrest, asserting:
"For the last time, can y’all take me off the list of names that y’all think is on these tapes? Why are y’all so hell-bent on putting n*ggas on these tapes? Joe I ran the jokes long but I thought the joke was a joke because of who I be. Clearly it’s a new crop of people out there that don’t know who I be, so they like, 'Oh, he might be that.' I ain’t. No more jokes. Even though I was a force in that world for three weeks. They was ready to trick. They was offering vacays and Fifth Avenue shopping sprees without even an inch of flirting. I know how the bitches feel ... I'm not on these tapes, man. There's nothing there. My dad called me ... I'm not on the tapes. It's OK."
