50 Cent Responds to Joe Budden’s Lawsuit Threat Over AI Images, Wants a 'Face-to-Face' Chat

50 Cent and Joe Budden's issues have escalated to the threat of legal action, but Fif doesn't appear to be all that concerned.

In a post uploaded to his Instagram account, 50 shared a video of Budden talking about the AI-generated images that 50 had shared and suggesting that he might file a lawsuit against him.

"So that's the plan [laughing emoji] you gonna sue me Joe," wrote Fif. "Hahaha I think you are mistaken me for someone else. I'm a get face to face wit you, so you can tell me about the therapy I need."

On a recent episode of Joe Budden's eponymous podcast, he responded to Fif's continued mocking of him on social media.

"50's been posting me for seven days in a row," he said. "If I have a problem with it, we're getting lawyers involved." He suggested that the posting of unauthorized AI-generated images—especially without stating they're AI-generated and not real photos—is "illegal."

"You can't do that," he said. "But I don't have a problem with it, and I think that's corny. And that's 50, I got all the respect in the world for him. But if I get tired of it, and it stops paying, then yeah, it's lawyer time."

Their issues kicked off after Budden suggested on his podcast that 50 Cent should consider therapy because of his chaotic behavior online. Following Irv Gotti's death, 50 shared an image of himself smoking hookah while sitting on a couch with a tombstone that says "RIP," including an old photo of Gotti. "I’m smoking on dat Gotti pack, nah God bless him 🕊️LOL," he wrote under the post.

The rapper didn't take kindly to the comment and responded by sharing a series of AI-generated images of Budden sleepwalking naked.

Budden was recently recorded on video sleepwalking in the nude and attempting to enter his neighbor's apartment. The incident resulted in a court case, which he was ultimately able to beat.
