Is this a case of right message, wrong messenger – or the pot calling the kettle black? The internet seemed to have a field day after Joe Budden gave his take on his experiences in a relationship that turned violent. In a recent podcast appearance on Bag fuelJoey touched on a number of topics. The one that generated the most controversy was his take on domestic violence from a male perspective.
Here’s What Joe Budden Said About Domestic Violence in a Relationship
In the clip, Joe shares some of his own past experiences that highlight that women can be abusive in relationships too. He suggests that men are unaware that they are being abused. Budden detailed a few instances with ex-girlfriends, saying: “I had an incident once where me and a woman broke up, and I took back the phone that I bought and was actively paying the bill. Charges. Charges raised. I didn’t know that[it was theft]so that was a lesson.” He continues:
“I was in a domestic violence relationship, but we are men, so we don’t know that.”

Joe never reveals who he was talking about in the clips. The video comes less than a month after he was called out by his ex, Tahiry Jose. Tahiry wasn’t having it when Joe weighed in on the viral video featuring Diddy attacking his then-girlfriend, Cassie, at a Los Angeles hotel.
