An audio clip circulating online is sparking backlash after Joe Budden made comments about Megan Thee Stallion that many are calling divisive and harmful.
In what appears to be a segment from “The Joe Budden Podcast,” Budden claims the “Hot Girl Summer” star was set to sign a deal and appear in Call of Duty: Black Ops. According to him, Megan ultimately backed out after learning she would be a shootable character.
Budden then added that, despite not playing the game himself, he would’ve bought it “off the strength.”
Without proper context or further explanation, the meaning behind his remark remains unclear and the internet is quickly filling in the blanks.
The ongoing conversation around the podcaster’’s comments comes at a time when the “Where Them The Girls At” rapper is publicly reliving some of the most traumatic chapters of her life.
The “Wanna Be” rapper broke down on the witness stand this week in her federal defamation trial against blogger Milagro “Gramz” Cooper, according to a report from BET.com.
The courtroom was given an unfiltered look at what she says she’s endured since the 2020 shooting, including the ripple effects of a sexually explicit deepfake created with her likeness.
Under questioning, she tearfully told jurors she knows what it feels like to “not want to live anymore,” describing the mental toll of the rumors, anxiety, and relentless online scrutiny that followed the attack.
Megan also spoke in detail about the night she was shot and the medical attention that followed, including surgery to remove bullet fragments from her feet.
She told the court she later enrolled in an intensive Dialectical Behavior Therapy program to help process the trauma, a treatment that cost her roughly $240,000.
The testimony stems from Megan’s defamation suit, which alleges Cooper launched a targeted campaign that amplified false narratives about her and helped spread the damaging deepfake, causing significant emotional and reputational harm.
The rapper shared that the flood of online rumors, including invasive claims about her personal life, left her battling severe anxiety and periods of isolation.
Earlier in the trial, her former manager Travis Farris testified about the fallout from the deepfake, which he said pushed Megan into intensive treatment.
Farris recalled Megan coming to him in tears, apologizing for him having to see the video, before entering a costly, four-week therapy program.
Prosecutors and the Houston native’s legal team say the care was part of a broader recovery that included a PTSD diagnosis, underscoring the long-lasting impact of the trauma she continues to face both online and in real life.
