Joe Budden Responds After Getting Clowned For Making Some Horrible Fashion Choices

Posted byBy Daryl Nelson | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

It’s happened to the best of us.

At one point in time you believe your’re sporting the best outfit possible. Then, several years and many fashion trends later, that same outfit looks ridiculous. Not only that, someone has unearthed a photo of it and they’re clowning you.

Joe Budden Gets Clowned For His Fashion Choices of the Present and Past

Joe Budden is experiencing that very same thing after someone shared an old picture of him from early 2000s when he was a rapper.

The photo shows Joe wearing a pair of oversized jeans with cuffs so long they touch the ground. He pairs those with a baggy nondescript white sweatshirt that makes him look pregnant.

If that wasn’t bad enough, Joe’s sneakers resemble the ones your mom got from a basket at the flea market before you cared about being cool. The outfit is pretty bad, to say the least.

But the jokes weren’t confined to just his older outfits, he also got clowned for his recent fashion choices. Even his son and his son’s friend joined the teasing and posted to Twitter a photo they found.

“Y’all got my oldest son involved. Smmfh,” Budden tweeted.

He also admitted that fashion wasn’t really his area of expertise, but coming clean didn’t stop the public shaming.

“Y’all been knew I can’t dress,” wrote Budden. “Now y’all wanna pull up old pics and act shocked. “FOH.”

“Make sure Cyn [Santana] see what you’re wearing before you walk out the door,” one person wrote back.

“I will. Thanks,” Budden replied.

Another person clowned a long tan coat that he was wearing back in the day and had just one question:

“Man, is that a buttercream ‘Shaft’ trench coat?” the person asked.

Some might say the New Jersey native is getting a taste of his own medicine, since the one who usually teases is now getting teased.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
