Joe Budden

<p><a href="/profile/JoeBudden" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Joe Budden</a> has never been one to <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/645492-joe-budden-seemingly-responds-to-kxng-crooked-over-logic-criticism" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">shy away from controversy</a>, especially not when it comes to calling out other celebrities on their misdeeds. The latest target of the 42-year-old is <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/434933-joe-budden-calls-adam22-disgusting-over-kevin-samuels-content-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">none other than Adam22</a>. He heard questions about his long-spanning underage sex allegations while the two spoke on Amazon AMP&#8217;s <em>Conversation Lovers Only</em> earlier this week. As you may recall, the <em>No Jumper</em> host recently had @officialpervbusters as guests on his own show, though he promptly kicked them off after they brought up his previous admission to having a single phone conversation with a 16-year-old girl several years ago.</p>



<p>Adam maintains that he ended the call upon realizing she wasn&#8217;t legal, though they later reconnected when she was 19. As <em>HipHopDX</em> notes, they began a sexual relationship at the time, which some still deem to be inappropriate because the media personality first met the woman when she was a teenager. As far back as 2017 he tweeted about the situation, venting to followers about the predicament which he obviously feels is unfair.</p>

<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m being accused of f*cking an underage girl in 2009 despite the fact that she is 27 right now,&#8221; Adam wrote at the time. While he&#8217;s trying to put the past behind him, not everyone has been so forgiving of the 39-year-old&#8217;s past transgressions, including Budden. &#8220;You said the girl was from wherever she was from, she didn’t know what she was doing, but you knew what you were doing,&#8221; the recording artist told his guest on Thursday (March 16).</p>



<p>Budden didn&#8217;t stop there. &#8220;You said, ‘I knew what I was doing, so I got away from her.’ Well… you didn’t get away from her if, by the grace of God, she ends up back in your life now that she’s OF age; you’re spending the night at her f*ckin’ mom’s house. What type of white boy pervert shit… what are you talkin’ about?&#8221; he lashed out at Adam22, who maintained that he doesn&#8217;t feel as though he&#8217;s done anything wrong. &#8220;What is the pervert shit about dating somebody once they are legal and of age?&#8221; he asked Joe.</p>

<p>&#8220;I didn’t say a word to her for like three and a half years, and I mean that. It’s just, we just sorta ended up … I didn’t wait for anything, we just ended up reconnecting later on. So because I met her when she was underage, I shouldn’t have fucked her even though she’s of age? Well, in retrospect I wish I woulda taken that advice, it woulda made everything a lot simpler, right?&#8221; the YouTuber admitted to Joe Budden.
