50 Cent and Joe Budden were both in attendance for the Knicks and Pistons game at Madison Square Garden on Monday. Naturally, this led to 50 commemorating the moment with yet another playful jab on Instagram, complete with Budden himself making an appearance in the accompanying photos.

“I ran into Joe at the game he said I don’t need Therapy No MORE!” 50 wrote in the caption of the post, which included two photos from the game in which he could be seen posing for the camera. Budden, meanwhile, is visible in the seats directly behind 50.

The “therapy” remark is a nod to past comments between the two. Just last week, 50 mockingly suggested therapy to Budden, who himself had advised the same for 50 and Ye in a previous podcast episode. At another point in 50’s Budden-focused Instagrammery, A.I.-generated images were used, leading to talk of potential legal action.

Others in attendance at Monday night’s Knicks game included Ben Stiller, Timothée Chalamet, Michael J. Fox, Fat Joe, and more. To the heartbreak of Knicks fans, the team proved unsuccessful in their latest game against the Pistons, who ultimately secured a 100-94 victory.

Other images from the game do indeed appear to show that 50 and Budden talked, though it's unclear to what extent.

50, meanwhile, hasn’t limited his frequently headlined social media shenanigans to Budden as of late. Floyd Mayweather, the artist formerly known as Kanye West, Lil Meech, Young Buck, A Boogie Wit da Hoodie, and Yung Miami have all found themselves in various 50-led news cycles in recent months.

As we've relayed time and time again, this is nothing new for 50, whose social media prowess has been extensively well-documented over the years.
