Joe Budden Shares Why He Has a Problem with Kai Cenat
Joe Budden has addressed the controversy surrounding his views on Kai Cenat, particularly in relation to Cenat’s infamous New York City giveaway event that sparked a chaotic scene.
In a recent interview with Lil Yachty, Budden clarified that his issue isn't with Cenat personally, but rather with the specific event that occurred last year.
During their conversation, Budden expressed that while he doesn't harbor personal animosity toward Cenat, the giveaway incident left a lasting impression on him.
He stated by referencing the event that triggered his response:
“Why would you think I have a problem with Kai? After all I’ve learned from us, you think I would turn around seven years later and do it again? That stunt he pulled on 14th Street, Union Square. That’s where it started for me… On a Friday on 14th Street, Union Square, New York City, that operates from Atlanta. Yes, I had a big issue with that as a New Yorker.”

He highlighted the scale of the event, which resulted in a large crowd and significant disruption in a city known for its dense population and tight-knit communities.
The giveaway, which was intended to be a large-scale promotional event, inadvertently led to a scene of disorder and confusion.

In his discussion with Lil Yachty, Budden aimed to separate his personal feelings about Cenat from his critique of the event itself.
By doing so, he clarified that his concerns are focused on the impact of the giveaway rather than on Cenat's character or career.
