Fans Stop Joe Budden In His Tracks After Calling Son His Twin: ‘But He Looks Like Cyn’

Joe Budden‘s attempt at deeming baby Lexington his lookalike was quickly shut down by fans who said his son has Cyn Santana‘s whole face.

Budden and Santana are the most talked about couple right now on “Love and Hip Hop” after appearing on the season premiere this past Monday. The pair have been together since 2016 and are allegedly engaged. They also welcomed their adorable baby boy last year in December 15.

The proud parents have posted several photos of baby Lex all over social media, causing a debate among fans. Budden took to Instagram on Tuesday and shared a sweet photo of himself and his 11-month-old. In prior captions, he’s seemingly declared his son as his lookalike. In another photo he wrote, “My babies.”

Fans, on the other hand, said the toddler resembles his mother and “pretty much has Cyn’s whole face.”

“He is too cute awwww look at his lil face 😍💕. Man he looks just like Cyn.”

“You Had no part him ! @cynsantana Spit this baby RIGHT OUT.”

“He pretty much has Cyn’s whole face but he definitely has your ears.”

“Little man was the HIGHLIGHT of love and hip hop 💕 He’s his mama twin.”

“My pookie toot!!!! Lexie pooh!!! He’s gorgeous butt! Look at that face and those sweet lil toes 😩 he looks just like Cyn omg!”

“So disrespectful to the father🤦🏽‍♂️ Baby Boy look like you too fam ! But he got Cyn’s whole face!”

“His Mommy spit him out that’s def her twin he’s so cute 😍😍!”

Rumors have been flying that Budden allegedly proposed to Santana. The model was seen wearing a pretty hefty rock on her left-hand ring finger in one of her recent Instagram photos. However, the couple have yet to confirm or deny the rumors.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
