Don’t play with Swizz Beatz when it comes to his wife Alicia Keys and family. Now, he didn’t go full Will Smith and Chris Rock Oscars slap, but the legendary producer called out Joe Budden on Twitter on Thursday (May 26) for a tweet that dissed Keys’ performance on the 2004 track “Diary.”
A Twitter user tweeted about how she thought that uncredited singer Jermaine Paul “cooked” Alicia Keys on “Diary” and Joe Budden replied back in agreement.
“Lowkey lol,” he wrote.
Swizz Beatz somehow saw Budden’s reply and wasn’t having it. He put an end to the podcast host having any negativity surrounding his wife’s illustrious career.
“King Knock it all the way off!” the Bronx native said. “Let’s not do this! I never get into your zones! Leave my wife out of everything but greatness! Please ……..”
Joe Budden didn’t respond to Swizzy, but out of respect for Keys, he quickly deleted his tweet in the exchange. Budden and Swizz have known each other for decades and this should make for an interesting conversation the next time they link up.
Isaiah Rashad Addresses Sex Tape Leak In Interview With Joe Budden: 'I'm Sexually Fluid'
The “Pump It Up” rapper made headlines of his own this week when he interviewed Isaiah Rashad, who addressed his leaked sex tape and says he identifies as “sexually fluid.”
SO NOW NO ONE CAN SPEAK ON FAMAOUS WIVES CUZ HUSBANDS GET SENSITIVE?
YA WIVES ARE STARS, THEY CAN HANDLE SOMEONE SAYING SHE GOT COOKED ON 1OF10,000 SONGS LOL.
Swizz just seen what Joe’s opinion did to Eminem Revival album and knows his opinion can hurt bad.
We live in a time when you can’t even have an opinion ??♂️
Rap today is a soap opera. Most of these old heads just want to be seen and heard.
She did get cooked though.. that nicca made it his song as soon as he came in there.
Yeah, Swizz need to chill cause Joe easy to bark on, what he gon do when somebody rugged has an opinion? Exactly
What? Are you a fucking idiot? Swizz is RR and D Block. Like 300 nights show up on motorcycles heavy with one call. You obviously know nothing about Hip-hop or NY. Swizz is good in all 5.
Really now? Most rap music is based on fiction. Nothing but smoke and mirrors, facades. I bet one smack to Swizz and he won’t do nothing but cry. Don’t take RR and D Block so seriously.
HOW DOES SOMEONE COOK SOMEONE ON A TRACK LIKE THAT THO? JOE IS AN IDIOT. YOU CAN TELL HE STARTED LISTENING TO MUSIC IN 2001.
Swizz sounds real sensitive right now. Your wife put out art and art can be critiqued. Point blank. If she was single would it have made it better?
Stop idolizing these dudes. Y’all made Biggie, 2Pac, Jay Z and whoever else bigger than they really are by idolizing them so much. It’s nothing but music and entertainment based on fiction, no different than a fictional film or movie on TV, like Power, etc. Most of them can’t even fight. I like Biggie but I know what it really is. Hip Hop soap operas.
True, many can talk about them and Nas and others for days, as if they are who they really portray themselves to be. Nothing but fictional (fake) storytellers with a very vivid imagination.
Some truth in their lyrics sprinkled here and there for camouflage, to appear truthful and valid.
Just because you don’t like an artist’ music – or even just one song – doesn’t make you a hater by default. Swizz is really acting very sensitive here. In fact, he’s overreacting.
