In a highly publicized encounter, rapper 50 Cent confronted fellow artist Joe Budden during a recent New York Knicks playoff game, marking a significant moment in their ongoing social media feud. The tension between the two has been palpable, with recent exchanges escalating to the point where 50 Cent publicly suggested that Budden might need therapy.

The confrontation occurred during Game 2 of the Knicks versus Pistons playoff series, where 50 Cent, accompanied by fellow rapper Fat Joe, found themselves seated right behind Budden and his girlfriend, Shade. The atmosphere was charged as Budden appeared to avoid eye contact with the camera and seemed to try to ignore 50 Cent’s presence. However, it was clear that the two had unresolved issues stemming from a series of social media clashes over the past few months.

Leading up to this moment, 50 Cent had been vocal on Instagram, mocking Budden for a previous Twitter altercation with rapper Rocky. In his post, 50 Cent remarked on Budden’s alleged peculiar behaviors while living with Rocky, suggesting that he might genuinely need professional help. This sparked a heated exchange, with Budden taking exception to 50 Cent’s comments.

During their unexpected meeting at the game, it was reported that the two engaged in a serious conversation, with 50 Cent later recounting on Instagram that Budden claimed he “doesn’t need therapy no more.” This statement has left fans speculating about the nature of their dialogue, with many curious about what was said during this high-profile encounter.

Despite the history of animosity between them, it seems that neither artist was willing to escalate the situation in such a public setting. The Knicks game provided a unique backdrop for an encounter that many had anticipated, given their frequent overlap in social circles and mutual fandom for the Knicks.

As the dust settles, it remains to be seen how Budden will address the encounter in his next podcast episode, where he may provide further insight into their discussion. For now, fans are left to ponder the implications of this meeting and what it might mean for the future of their contentious relationship. With 50 Cent’s penchant for unpredictability and Budden’s reputation for candidness, it’s likely that this saga is far from over.
