Joe Budden‘s son Trey picked up a mic at a young age and is following in his father’s footsteps, but it wasn’t exactly the family bars that inspired him to do so.
In a recent interview on the Mike Rouga Podcast, Trey revealed it was actually catching a stray bullet from Just Blaze protégé Saigon during his beef with Joe that influenced his decision to rap. After Saigon called him a “faggot” on a record during the height of their issues at the tail end of the 00s, Trey was itching to get in the booth to respond.
“This nigga was beefing with… I forgot this nigga name,” he began, as he recalled his first reaction of “Pushin’ Buddens,” the diss track in question. “I was young, so like I’m not very informed on older rappers. I don’t want to butcher his name but like, Saigon? That nigga called me a faggot. I was like 12, 11 when I found it. I called my pops crying. I was like, ‘This nigga just called me a faggot yo.’ He was like, ‘Yo, it’s a beef between me and him. He’s supposed to say disrespectful things.’ I’m like, ‘Aight bet.’ I was sitting there like, ‘Let’s rap nigga! I’m ready when I’m ready. Ooh, I’ma kill this nigga as soon as I’m able to rap!’ That’s what actually got me interested in rapping. Because I was like, ‘I’ma kill this nigga as soon as I’m able to rap!'”

Saigon caught wind of the interview and shared it on his page Sunday (July 5). He was a bit taken aback, but complimented Joe and wished Trey luck in his career.
“I don’t even know how to quite process this,” he wrote in the caption. “Somebody need to tell shorty ‘Say-Jon’ is a different kind of animal tho.. But on a serious note, the last words of my with Joe Budden battle were, ‘You shouldn’t have bought the kids into this’. Kids are always off limits no matter what kinda warfare U in. God Bless shorty though, I wish him well in his career. If he follow’s his Dad’s Blueprint he should be alright. Joe is very smart.. #FactsOfLife.”
After squashing their beef in 2009, Joe and Saigon would go on to collaborate on the track “Bring Me Down Pt. 3.” Stream it below.
That was a dope fuckin battle. Pain in His Life was amazing.
Yeah, an actual rap battle in the same weight class, which is rare these days. Budden can’t fuck with Saigon on the mike though. Dude is raw.
Joe Budden, only 1 hit, pump it up! He a nobody! Only rapper from slaughterhouse that dr Dre refuses to work wit, the game destroyed this bitch with buddens back in the day, Eminem hates this dude! Wu tang clan members wanted to kill this bitch! Fuck Joe Budden and he’s stupid ass son!
Are you deaf mofo???
Most rappers don`t even get one hit..
He must have fucked your mom or something
How many hits you got fam?
Yeah…shut the fuck up lol
Damn, never knew that about Wu Tang and Budden, thanks man!
It was more like him and Method Man. When Slaughterhouse first started, it was a thing between them.
Hahaha i still remember that to this day. Saigon wrecked this clown lol. Joe Budden always been a pop shit apologize kinda dude. Saigon was about to take the belt off and whoop joe’s ass lol.
Lol what battle were you listening to? Only one gave Joe some trouble was ransom. MAYBE the game.
Ur dumb AF, Saigon ate his food and had him all out of sorts apologizing.
Ransom came to Joe Buddens front door and slapped the shit out of him. How can you say he “MAYBE” gave him trouble. LOL joe budden is a bi polar pill head who has embarassed himself time after time.
Yeah, love Budden, but he ain’t fucking with Saigon on no mike, lol. Not then. Not now. Just two different calibers there we’re talking about of emcee. It’s why so many people were disappointed that Saigon couldn’t make it to the mainstream because this is the kind of dude who should have been at the top of the industry with that kind of talent.
People just have thoughts without facts. Joe has hits and bars for days. He has props from all them rappers. He used to be a magnet for beefin with ppl. The Wu-tang issue was only because a chart was listed that had Method higher on the list and Joe was basically speaking how the chart was BS and that got him in beef with the WU. Which is squashed. Listen to Joe’s tap Three sides to a story. Don’t be a follower and do homework. Joe is a bad boi. Listen to Focus
Dude there is no one you can position Joe Budden as some kinda respectable man. His music is good, he himself as a man is a clown. His whole career all he ever did was start problems with people cause he was drugged up, get embarassed, then apologize and tuck his tail between his legs. I cant respect that.
