50 Cent and Joe Budden seem to be on good terms weeks after their heated viral exchange.
The two rap veterans came face-to-face while the New York Knicks vs. Detroit Pistons played in game two of the Eastern Conference First Round NBA Playoffs at Madison Square Garden on Monday night, April 21. Fif sat courtside next to his homie Fat Joe while Budden was seated with his girlfriend directly one row behind them. At one point during the game, the Queens rapper and the New Jersey podcaster were spotted talking to one another without any tension.
"I ran into Joe at the game he said I don’t need Therapy No MORE!" 50 Cent wrote on Instagram.

It's been several months since 50 Cent and Joe Budden were embroiled in a tense beef. It all started after the rapper-turned-podcaster said 50 Cent and Ye "need therapy" during an episode of The Joe Budden Podcast. At the time, Budden shamed Fif after he made a disparaging post following Irv Gotti's death. 50 Cent previously posted (and deleted) a photo of himself smoking a hookah next to the late producer's grave. After Joe said the post went too far, Fif fired back by posting nude images of Budden from his recent lewdness case.
"Stay out my mix Joe talking about I need therapy," Fif wrote. "B***h you need to stop walking around naked. The fvck is you doing in the hallway with ya balls out PUNK!”
50 Cent eventually removed his offensive posts about Budden, which might be why there were no issues when they sat near each other at the game. Now it looks like the two artists are cool again. We'll see if Budden shares his thoughts about their conversation on the next episode of his podcast.
