'Joe Budden, sit yo b***h a** down': Vivica Fox slams 'Love & Hip Hop' star for dissing Megan Thee Stallion

Fox encouraged Budden to keep his 'b**ch a** down' when it came to Megan, hinting that he was simply jealous of female rappers' success in the field

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Joe Budden has a negative impression of Megan Thee Stallion, which is poking the women of Fox Soul's 'Cocktails with Queens' the wrong way. Claudia Jordan and Vivica A Fox absolutely trashed Joe Budden in a recent episode. Although it was a holiday-themed show, the duo spoke some choice words.

Joe Budden chimed in on the Megan Thee Stallion and Tory Lanez legal dispute on Thursday, December 15, 2022, on a recent episode of the 'Joe Budden Podcast' and stated that he didn't like the Forbes cover girl. After discussing the matter with DJ Akademiks for most of the episode, the ex-rapper began to lash out at Megan's character. First, the New Jersey native stated his dissatisfaction with the trial, stating that Megan's account doesn't make sense in light of a "lot of circumstantial evidence [the court] wants to be taken as fact." He then reiterated his contempt for the 'Body' performer and her testimony.

"I’ve seen this woman do horrible things to some really great people that I have [a] longstanding relationship with here in this industry," Budden remarked, adding, "So I’m biased. You can’t just treat my friends, and people I f**k with, and people I’ve seen in this game for 15 years a certain way."

Later, the 42-year-old pundit loosely described his disdain for the Houston artist, claiming to "have some theories" about her and her case. "I got some theories. But what I can say is I’m finished with these ni**as, and I don’t like that girl. I can’t." Budden's remarks come after Kelsey Harris testified on day 3 of Lanez's criminal trial on Wednesday, December 14, 2022.

Megan Thee Stallion's former friend and aide used her Fifth Amendment privilege to avoid answering questions on the witness stand. Kelsey's testimony in court, according to Rolling Stone, did not match the prior narrative presented to law police in September 2022. The former assistant said that the night was fuzzy and attributed her conflicting tale to inebriation and bereavement. "The night was a blur. We were under the influence," Kelsey admitted in front of the court and jury. She was said to have blamed her memory loss on worry, postpartum difficulties, and bereavement. Kelsey previously stated that she saw Tory Lanez "aiming the gun straight, but always in a downward direction toward Megan."

Budden was reviewing the Tory Lanez trial on the 'Joe Budden Podcast' last week, and he claimed to have witnessed Megan do horrific things to individuals close to him, which was a strong contrast to Vivica and Claudia's perspective on the issue. Vivica encouraged Joe to keep his "b***h a** down" when it came to Megan, hinting that he was simply jealous of female rappers' increased presence and success in the field.

Claudia's delivery wasn't as harsh, but she did bring up Joe's multiple domestic abuse complaints over the years and accused him of cheating his former co-hosts Rory and Mal out of his podcast agreement. She also questioned why Megan's sexual past had become a significant issue of conversation in the aftermath of Tory's trial, pointing out a social double standard when it comes to sex.

Fans on social media were also quick to call out the band of people who came after Megan amidst her ongoing trial. One said, "The way Joe Budden, 50 Cent and Drake all came out the woodworks to dog pile on Megan even though she was actually harmed as confirmed in court is so disheartening. No matter how it plays out she was still harmed and yet gets treated as a villain by men who are way worse than her."

Another one stated the reason why Joe might be talking about Megan's case on his podcast, "Joe budden knows the we hate black women community is picking apart megan thee stallion rn. so he's talking s**t on his stupid lil podcast."

Stating how he didn't need to discuss this trial on his podcast, one also wrote, "Joe Budden forgot he beat women? And this is what I'm talking about these bloggers/podcasters trying to take personal issue with Megan, as if she did something to them. Why did this ni*ga feel the need, with his big platform, say he don't like this woman? Ok and? It wasn't needed."

Bringing out receipts on his past activities, a Twitter user wrote, "Joe Budden who has the history of beaten, stalked women (literally hiding under their bed until they got home), verbal abusive to the women he dated yet Megan done these “horrible things”. And says “I don’t like her” like what he says carry REAL WEIGHT moral compass wise."

One comment on Instagram also read, "But it is disturbing how men have chosen to come for her like this with this level of venom. They had NONE of this energy for R. Kelly…..and the common denominator is blame Black women."

Calling this a means of seeking attention, another wrote, "Why do people care about him and his opinions bye he want the attention from Tory that’s all." On the other hand, some people also came to Joe's defense stating, "So people have to be FORCED into liking someone? It’s really not that serious yeah I love my beautiful black women but not all of y’all are “queens” just like every black dude not a “king”." Another person chimed in saying, "I guess opinions are only ok when they come from one side..got it."

Vivica Fox's criticism hasn't gotten a response from Joe Budden. Tory Lanez's trial is already in its second week, and things have taken even more unexpected turns when a witness took the stand.
