Joe Budden has joined the conversation around the Keke Palmer and Usher drama, joking about the butt cheeks seen — and heard — ’round the world.

The rapper-turned-podcast host took to his eponymous podcast on Monday (July 10), and revealed that he didn’t understand what all the fuss was about in the first place.

“Keke Palmer took her little hot ass. She took her grown adult hot ass to Vegas with a little see-through sequence ass-out outfit,” he said. “I’ma light the streets up tonight. She left her man home. Left lunch money on the end table.”

He continued: “She said ‘Yo dog, I’m out.’ He was like, “Well, babe we didn’t even talk yet. Where you going?’ ‘I’ll text you where I’m going you mud ass n-gga. I left a couple dollars over there for you. Feed the cat and the dog. Make sure you do the chores. Keep the dishes washed.’”

Joe Budden, himself, doesn’t really have much of a problem with Usher, as the Confessions singer serenaded Budden’s girlfriend during his show back in April.

The outspoken host was sitting front-and-center with his dearly beloved, Shadée Monique, at the R&B legend’s residency in Las Vegas, Nevada on April 22.

In a video posted to her Instagram, Usher belted out “There Goes My Baby” and took Monique by the hand, who danced along with him as audience members behind the happy couple screamed with joy.

Ever the gentleman, Usher made sure to show Joe Budden some love before singing to his lovely lady.

Usher has had his fair share of celebrity visitors since he began his residency at the Dolby Live at Park MGM in February 2022.

Back in March, the crooner took a time-out during his performance to give Queen Latifah her flowers — literally. The New Jersey rap legend attended Usher’s concert on March 18, which also happened to be her 53rd birthday.

Latifah received a birthday gift in front of thousands of fans as Usher made his way into the audience and gave her a hug, as seen in a video posted on his Instagram Stories.

The Native Tongues member could be seen holding a bouquet of roses as her 1993 hit “U.N.I.T.Y.” played throughout the venue’s speakers. The audience cheered the embrace, with Latifah thanking the crowd for their warm reception.
