AceShowbiz - Joe Budden had his own reason why he removed a segment of his podcast discussing the disturbing video of Sean "P. Diddy" Combs assaulting Cassie. Having come under fire for his decision, "The Joe Budden Podcast" host took to social media to set the record straight.
On Saturday, May 18, the 43-year-old hopped on X Spaces and explained, "We were in the middle of our show when that news broke." He added, "So we spoke about it for four minutes and at the end before Sleepers [segment] we spoke about it again for another four minutes and we went on about our day."
However, after talking with "TJBP" co-host Ꭼmanny, Joe had second thoughts and edited out the segment. "It was insensitive for the moment. It was talking for four minutes about what happened and three minutes at the end is not the attention the story needs," he elaborated. "We gonna get to it on [Wednesday's episode]."
"I have absolutely zero ties with Diddy or anybody Diddy related," the former rapper continued. "Yesterday was my very first time seeing something like that and it was tough to watch for many reasons."
Joe went on to make it clear that he isn't afraid to address any topic on his show and he has the right to edit out parts that he believes shouldn't be made public. The media personality also advised trolls to step away from social media and engage in real-life activities outside of the digital world.
A fan noticed the segment removal because when the podcast was initially uploaded someone forgot to remove the Diddy timestamp from the description. It prompted others to speculate that Joe's reluctance to keep the segment about the Diddy video may have stemmed from his own alleged history of domestic abuse.
"Joe Budden will never discuss that Diddy s**t and we all know why," one person wrote on X, formerly Twitter. Another penned, "Joe Budden did a full psychological profile on Aubrey Graham for weeks, but no words for Diddy. Ain't that something."
