Joe Budden Addresses Condom Confession Controversy

Once again, Joe Budden’s comments on his podcast caused a ton of negative responses online. Joe faced social media backlash after admitting to faking putting on condoms without his sexual partners’ knowledge. Now, he has responded to the uproar over his recent condom confession.

During an episode of his titular podcast last week, the rapper-turned-media personality admitted to having faked putting a condom on before sex. Budden said with a laugh, “Even I’ve done walked in the corner and faked like I was putting a condom on before.” He exclaimed, “That shit be working. They’re none the wiser!”

“Yes, I did that, one thousand percent. That was my poor execution of my plan after I mastered it, which was to just bust through the lamb skin. Let me go find the thinnest condom in the world and bust [through it].”

When one of his co-hosts called him a “sicko,” Budden replied: “Nah, I used to be. Please don’t misrepresent me.” According to The Shade Room, the episode was later removed and a new episode was uploaded with no audio. It should be noted, non-consensual condom removal, commonly referred to as “stealthing,” is a punishable form of sexual assault in some countries and is even considered by some as rape.

Budden’s confession sparked a firestorm of reactions on social media, with many condemning him for his past behavior in the bedroom. One person tweeted, “What Joe Budden was doing is called rape. Yes that’s rape,” while another added, “Women did not consent to that. That’s wild he is out here not only admitting to it but joking about it. Comments off.”

After The Shade Room posted an audio clip of his remarks along with some of the reactions on Instagram over the weekend, Budden jumped into the comments section to issue a response. He wrote, “Y’all really want all black men in jail lol,” This isn’t the first time Joe Budden has found himself in hot water when it comes to his love life.

The king of podcasts has been accused of being abusive by two former girlfriends, Tahiry Jose and Cyn Santana. Last year, Santana even claimed in court documents that Budden played with his dog’s private parts, a wild accusation he vehemently denied. We’ll have to see what Joe has in store for us next.
