Fat Joe shared his take on Joe Budden ending up seated near 50 Cent during their beef — suggesting the podcast host should always anticipate running into rivals in better seats.
Joe discussed Budden and Fif’s awkward seating situation on a recent episode of his new Joe & Jada podcast, claiming a similar scenario couldn’t happen to him nowadays. “I gotta be front row,” Fat Joe declared before giving second and third row seats a new nickname: “We call them the Joe Budden seats.”
“He got a good seat but you always gotta expect that the enemy might come front row,” Fat Joe added. The rapper then revealed he’d experienced a similar uncomfortable situation with none other than 50 Cent himself.
“I’m going to a Babyface concert,” Fat Joe remembered. “Once again, Fifty is the culprit. We just squashed the beef, everybody’s cool. I’m second row…the man comes and sits in the row right in front of me.”
Back in April, Fif and Budden both showed up at the Knicks and Pistons playoff game at Madison Square Garden. The two had been beefing after Budden suggested Fif needed therapy, which led to endless trolling from 50. Fif posted a pic of himself sitting a row ahead of Budden, who looked genuinely uncomfortable. Fif’s caption perfectly matched his mischievous smile: “I ran into Joe at the game, he said I don’t need Therapy No MORE!”
Fif’s loyal sidekick Tony Yayo described the terror he felt when he realized Fif and Budden were in the same venue. “I was scared for Joe Budden,” Yayo admitted. He then explained he didn’t think anything serious would go down because of the location.
“At the same time, it’s the playoffs. You’re paying attention to the game,” the G-Unit member explained. “Madison Square Garden is like the airport. If you pop off there, you’re banned forever. It’s not a place you want to get into an altercation. You’re courtside. You start a fight there, you’re gonna make the news.”
