Yung Miami Mocks Joe Budden's Gold Plaque for "Pump It Up," Sparking Heated Back and Forth
The "CFWM" rapper thought it was funny that Budden received a gold certification more than 20 years after the release of his breakout single.
In a celebratory moment for Joe Budden, Yung Miami threw some jabs at the podcast host.
In a clip posted on Thursday, Aug. 22, Budden and his podcast co-hosts cheered as he was presented a gold RIAA-certification plaque for his 2003 single "Pump It Up," while the song played in the background. "Look at me," he said in the clip below. "Aw, look at that guys. Thank you, thank you. My shit."
Instead of congratulating Budden, Yung Miami laughed at the video in an X repost, adding that she was a child when the song came out.
The tension between the two isn't fresh. Budden previously criticized Yung Miami, born Caresha Brownlee, for her comments about Diddy during the season three premiere of her show Caresha Please. He also criticized the rapper for how she handled her fallout with her City Girls co-member, JT.
Rather than ignoring Yung Miami's remarks, Budden responded on X, writing, "It would be too easy…" to clap back, but hinted that he might address her comments on a future podcast episode.
This response only further irritated Yung Miami, who has had past social media feuds with other male media personalities like DJ Akademiks and Armon Wiggins.
"Another one bites the dust remember??? You was just celebrating when you THOUGHT I took an L. I can laugh YOU was just laughing at me so LETS LAUGH!" she wrote in response to Budden.
The Miami native didn't respond when someone pointed out that her 195,000 Spotify monthly streams paled in comparison to Budden's 781,000, despite him retiring from music in 2018. On the other hand, City Girls boast 3,401,437 monthly listeners and released their third album, RAW, last October.
