‘Has Joe Come Over?’: ‘LHHNY’ Star Tahiry Jose’s ‘Quarantine Bae’ Video Derails When Fans Mention Her Ex Joe Budden

It seems folks aren’t over Tahiry Jose and Joe Budden‘s split.

Although the pair broke up several years ago, people love mentioning Budden when Jose is around. On Wednesday, April 8, Jose posted a video to her Instagram about couples having an argument while sheltering in place together.

“Alright guys, you know what I just realized during this quarantine situation is that it is very uncomfortable to have a disagreement or an argument… when you can’t go nowhere,” she said in her video. “Yeah I don’t know about that quarantine bae. Shout outs to all you guys that are quarantining by yourselves i know its kinda hard.”

Jose added in her caption, “Quarantine thoughts 💭 comment & share your experience below #teamtahiry”

Fans instantly wondered if the “Love and Hip Hop: New York” castmate had a boo, while others mentioned Budden.

“I’ll be ur quarantine bae 🤔”

“Tahiry,please give Joey another chance;yall r soulmates:luv from Baltimore family💞”

“Interesting, so who is your man?”

Jose and Budden officially called it quits shortly after his grand proposal to her on season 4 of “LHHNY.”

The 39-year-old Jose rejected his proposal at the time in front of their family and friends. She told “The Real” in December 2019 that she didn’t regret her decision one bit.

“It was one of the most important chapters of my life on national TV. … So to be able to say no to the man I thought at that moment was supposed to be my forever was big.”

Jose went onto say she did what was “best” for her at the time.

“I knew that ring would come with the show specials, the wedding specials. … People loved us together,” she said. “I couldn’t do it. It wasn’t what my gut told me to do, so I had to follow my gut. None of that mattered if the relationship wasn’t healthy.”

Jose and Budden are still friends, although they are not in a romantic relationship.

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.
